Haven't read it today........but said he would do it behind closed doors.I like it that he did it in the open gives them no where to hide.
Its a good article and shows how a good manager deals with things - Pressley should take note.

The world of Mr Sillet was oh so different....no Twitter,,No forums..no internet .....you simply cannot keep things behind closed doors these days.
Well you can... you don't give a press conference like he did, for one!

Did you want him to blame the ref and all that shit ??
And then everyone would have said typical SP never says it as it is he can't win really can he.
Come on SP stick it too um I say.
I'm glad he did it shows balls just like most managers people would like to see here.
I'm torn (see above). I don't mind him being angry, don't mind him actually caring, this is good.
Once you hang players out to dry though...
And it does seem to happen rather a lot. Bomb squad, and then only so subtle hints having a dig at players (Moussa?) at the end of last season. It has shades of McAllister's management technique, and that didn't go too well either.
Fragment people into factions and cliques, and it needs a really strong man to pull it together again.
We'll see.
To be fair he has defended the indefensible on more than one occasion this season and this seems to have been his watershed moment.
It's that bipolar though.
I'm all for standing up for players in public btw, create an us and them mentality, show loyalty... you get loyalty back. So I've never been *as* concerned about his interviews as they tend to be anodine comments anyway, from all managers. He could maybe have been a bit less hyperbolic about previous displays mind you
I can appreciate him wanting to keep a positive atmosphere but with some players you just know they will see that as an opportunity to relax and put in half arsed performances.
What confuses me is that he knows the character of player he wanted to sign but went ahead and signed players who couldn't be arsed. Either he can't screen the duds properly or he lacks resources to bring in who he actually wants.
I have been assuming what he says in private doesn't always mirror what he says in public!
