Nice Guy Or An Animal?

[el punal]

For the type of manager that we need. In other words do we need a gaffer to hold the players' hands, because their self confidence is shot to pieces, and say how wonderful they are, just relax and play your natural game.

Or, do we employ a Rottweiler who will basically kick arses and tell the players to stop feeling sorry for themselves and get out and fight. And, if they don't like it f*** off.

Interestingly, of the proposed candidates, which are perceived as nice guys and which are animals?

I wonder how long before someone posts a picture of Micky Adams and mentions cuddling...

Horses for courses. Different players respond to different methods, and a decent man-manager will employ the right one for each player.

True, a kick up the arse for some, an arm around the shoulder for others. In fact a proper man manager who is also a good football manager. Is there one out there for us?

We tried Larry the Lamb but perhaps the wrong type of animal?

In the end, there's only one question. Are the board (aka Tony Bloom) prepared to let a new manager bring in the players they think we will need to firstly survive and then to challenge for promotion next year? If they're not then I think a lot of potential candidates will not be interested.

I promise: this is the last time I post this video.



I hope it answers the OP's question.

Even people perceived as animals often have a soft side.

Bit of both.
