His job is to manage the players and get results. You need to ask the reporter. He's the one who asks the questions and writes the article. No one knows what goes on between TM and his squad and nor do I expect them too. It's all only newspaper fill;er anyway.
Well according to waggy they have sold up.I just hope the V’s get the right man (or woman) in for the job and give them a decent working budget subject to FFP of course.
I should have qualified it as GoGo at the end of the season not now.
Were it ever not so?
I get what you're saying Steve but players such as Dack are men and they can often inspire and motivate in the dressing room and on the pitch in ways that a manager can’t do.
Its about time he used some of that knowledge then..........and played people in their positions?
Much the same with allardyce. Lots of Joe public who have had dealings with him don't appear to like his personality but his ex players when giving their opinions certainly seem to respect him as a top football manager.
Great to watch if a little tarnished at the death BUT whilst dack was the man on the spot (at last) the more times I see Buckley's delivery the more I love it!
I don't believe Giles is at his best on the right but if my memory serves me correctly KMD played lots of his players out of their recognised positions. We bought a good left winger in le saux yet Kenny played him at left back and he played for England. Kenny bought a striker in warhust and played him right back. Berg too was a CH who Kenny converted to right back. Sutty was a centre half at Norwich but Kenny played him up front.
I suppose as long as the manager can justify his decisions to the players and they understand the thinking about their positions on the pitch for a particular match then so be it. I know Mowbray has spoken in the past about modern day players as flexible footballers being ready on occasions to play on the right or left. Giles has occupied both sides as we know. Players switch position more frequently these days during games but as I say if the players understand what’s expected of them then it’s down to the manager. He lives and dies by the result.
I take your point but Sutton was playing at Centre Forward and scoring goals at Norwich before we bought him. It was Norwich who made the switch from CH.
He was indeed. Perhaps Norwich decided that was the best place for him after Shearer gave him such a mauling at Ewood.
Just so long as the medics and physios agree waggy. I thought I'd detected Dack running with a limp at Coventry and he was awol when Dayo put that bloody cross in. Nob End won't be taking prisoners against us remember.
