blackislekillie Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Grass pitches are like billiard tables in these c***s imaginations. I personally don't like ours but it's an easy out ball for incompetent managers and coaches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 He just needs to sort out his 'done' and 'did' but he's not the only one. Gone and went is another that pisses me off. It’s amazing how many people paid to talk (and indeed write) eloquently don’t actually know how to use past tenses and past participles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The generation of footballer now to when Lennon was a player is different, no question, and that is reflective in wider society too. Stewart also said it's not necessarily a bad change, its just different and Lennon needs to adapt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) It seems to be a popular view on Sportsound now that managers can't shout at players and go mental ala the hairdryer treatment type of stuff. Apparently players today are too soft plus it will get you in trouble with HR. Nonsense of course. It's far more accurate to say that it's probably not an effective way of management, especially when used for everyone. It still has its place but it simply isn't going to work with everyone and probably comes across as a bit 'old fashioned' in terms of motivation, and if used too often just loses it's weight in terms of effectiveness. Players today are definitely different than in the days of someone like Jim McLean or even Alex Ferguson, and shouting in their faces and calling them shit whilst flipping over tables and punching walls simply won't motivate people. It's not a bad thing, it's just different. You need to take a more individual approach to motivation. Some will definitely react to a bollocking and take it as a kick up the arse but others will just go in to their shell. Say what you will about that but it's the manager's failing there, especially if being unable to get the best out of their players causes them their job. TL;DR version; all the former players from the 80s and 90s continue on their path to full 'yer da' Edited January 29, 2019 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably came across a little 'yer da' because they all love him and are loathed to go full out calling him a dinosaur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, sack them and pay compen, that's all he meant, 99% of managers that are sacked don't get to utilise the process Lennon is in, it looks like Hibs want rid of him and they feel they might manage it without compen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
