[Albion] Rumours of Unrest - received wisdom, or a reality?

[P.C. Beard]

When did FH make that quote? Post match press conference? Is there a link to a more detailed version of the quote? Either written or video.

I 100% saw it in a post match video yesterday but cannot for the life of me now find that video!

The only sauce we have so far is Munchkin, who reports what was clearly a minor disagreement, since the players involved are all still training with the club and involved in matches. Given FH’s insistence on group discipline, it clearly wasn’t anything more. (albeit one is quite rightly going out on loan)

Apart from another source who started a thread about it a month ago?

My SAUCE is very REVEALING.

Is it more of a Jus?

It's certainly a load of bollocks. We have some outspoken & animated players in our squad and it would be obvious if he had lost the dressing room.

That said, I would imagine their tolerance towards the poor tactical decisions that he makes is somewhat low, considering he's around their age and with minimal managerial experience.

"minimal managerial experience"?
He's in his 9th year as a Head Coach.

Some of the replies to that thread
They must feel a bit silly now the lads walking out the door.

It's reasonable on a football message board to expect some degree of speculation about football.

Some of this will be quickly substantiated, some will be proved correct or otherwise over time and some will be baseless.

People can objectively look at all the evidence that's presented both on and off the field and make up their own minds concerning veracity.

 

[METALMICKY]

OK let's just for a minute accept there could be a degree of unrest in the camp. Do we think the age of the manager might just be a factor?

It was much publicised on his appointment and maybe it just creates a dynamic that none of the players will have experienced before. He's not played or managed at any significant level for a period time. Accordingly, whenever he's talking tactics is there a nagging thought particularly amongst the senior pros that he's not totally qualified based on his limited experience?

I'll go back to the Minteh incident last week. People saying its all about discipline and rules , yes that plays a part but its also about managing circumstances as and when they appear, reading a set of rules and saying your 1 minute late, the rules say..... is not real management. Clearly no one on here knows what went on , or how late he was, but if we have a rule book manager then that needs to change.

The Athletic reported that it wasn't his first case of poor time-keeping. If you keep letting people off it sends an awful message to the rest of the squad.

It was the Everton post-match, if I remember correctly. The interviewer was asking about the non-selection of Minteh.

Respect and understand your post. There a lot of things I’m told that I don’t share for exactly the reasons you state. However, with the whole Evan Ferguson situation and the way he is (and continues to be treated by FH) I thought it was only right to post what I did to add some context.

I know for a fact the dressing room has been a close nit group for a long long time now, very rarely would you hear any negatives and when things did happen it was very much a closed shop and very little got out.

That isn’t the case this season and there are a lot of things going on that people seem keen to ‘leak’ this isn’t just the players, it’s the staff also that have been here in the same roles under RDZ and Potter.

But take on board your point and I think it’s a valid comment, so I won’t be posting anything further on NSC with regards to what I’m told is happening behind the scenes

Damned if you do and damned if you don`t

Keep stirring the pot.

Keep licking

 

[Super Sub]

Honestly… who genuinely knows what the situation is behind closed doors aside from those within them.
There is generally no smoke without fire though and so I’m sure all will become apparent in due course.
Mr Bloom is a very, very switched on man as we all know and so what I am comforted by is the fact that he is a fan as well as a superb Owner and Business man. If we have foreseen issues then it’s fair to say he has too.

A bit like Potter at Chelsea you mean?

Talk of unrest was the main conversation a fortnight ago after the Man U game… sorry, I think it was something else

Ah, we have a second, they don’t seem to have logged on since though, and the two immediate responses are “you’ve been listening to Dave.”

So, Dave on the radio is our original source. Well, that’s proof enough for me.

Sounds as though it was the post-match press conference, which I don't think is online (yet).

Very good point. Seems people want it to be leaked and they aren’t doing it for a ‘look at me’ moment.

barbus_max OUT!

 

[Ethelwulf]

Paul Samarah who would have contacts in the club and I would class as someone of character said on the phone in about the unrest and also called for the manager to be sacked
