Nevermind Nick, at least you tried!

The secret of good management is knowing how to get the best out of an individual - there are some who only respond to being yelled at, some who will go even further into their shell if shouted at, some who will become belligerent and do the opposite to what they are asked if shouted at, some who respond well to a quiet friendly word and arm around the shoulder, others who see this as weakness and take advantage, some who can have a discussion about something others who just need to be told etc etc. This is where people like Ferguson, Shankley, Clough were/are brilliant - being a good manager isn't all just about tactics and being witty and urbane in interviews, its also about man management and knowing what works best for each individual.

Great point, I learnt this from Football Managers H/T and pre-match team-talks

As a (non-football) manager in real life, it's exactly the same: some people need almost constant supervision, either to re-assure them, instruct them, or to put them on the right track. A lot ofyoungsters or inexperienced team-members fall into this category. Others have initiative, leadership and the ability to motivate themselves and work independently. Others are just there to pick up the pay-cheque and prone to taking the piss (or calling in sick for the second Monday in a row, like a colleague of mine today..that's what you get with Temps!).

Not saying he could DiveDive but if as an individual player you only receive angry messages from the manager and coach would that inspire most people to do better .......... am only going on what the OP said about lots of such shouting at yeovil...... bottom line is though if it isn't working the player isn't doing as required for whatever reason, change it ............ it isnt like last season there is experience on the bench not young academy lads

As my wise old Yoda of an Area Manager once said, "Try to catch people doing something right now and again"

Of course it isn't, if it was then people would still be critical even if he was successful, which certainly wouldn't be the case.

Unlikely to be an issue in any case.

Indeed. I wonder how low he will eventually take us?

In the year 2018, we could have just started our season in the Midland Alliance, fans hark back to the mythical first season where CCFC won every game 6-0, before the team was destroyed and players recruited from pub teams. There are cheery waves going on and we are told the team needs time to gel and that it is insane to ever sack a manager.

Careful sick boy you'll have sky blue John trying to censure you - thats a blatant anti thorn remark.
