Quote: justthebasicfax "Yeah we keep hearing things like that, but unfortunately until they bring home the bacon it holds little weight, plenty of unsuccessful bosses in sport and business have got on well with players and seemingly been very capable on paper. Being a winner is different though, as i said, its that X Factor we all wish we could bottle, Matt maybe needs to worry less about 'The Lads' and more about getting a ruthless streak, shoring up the defence and forgetting about upsetting the odd player. Dont get me wrong, ive spoken to Matt a few times and i think hes an alright bloke, he can obviously coach certain parts of the game very well indeed, our attacking play stands up, its more the man management and defence thats always been a concern, i would love him to succeed, perhaps the good cop bad cop coaching partnership is required, this i why i think he would be a great number 2 for a more experienced coach, he can prepare teams well, work on their skills, he just doesn't seem to have the fire and brimstone pre match teamtalks. Maybe also a good old fashioned hard man on the field rallying the guys, who they look up to is key too, and i dont mean Stanley, he leads by example and commands respect, but hes not a born leader. Looking forward to the game now.'"
You're such a schmuk, Calland has MASSIVE support from the players, they all want to sign and play for him (unlike the days under Faz), why can't you just see that and accept it, you haven't a bluddy clue! Fax 46 - Barra 24. Case rested
