Players Revolt? / First training session


Give it to Ron

Recommended Posts

You are getting boring mate. If you are devoting a whole login and thousands of posts to being a WUM at least try to be a good WUM.

 

You have wummed for a while but been overtaken by new more creative WUMs now.

I know Glasgow is on a wind up, but don't find the suggestion beyond the realms of possibility. Someone obviously told Luke Shaw to delete his tweet from Friday.

Nothing unusual in a boss telling their staff not to comment about goings on in an organisation on social media networks. Happens all the time in the 'real' world. It's only in the pantomime world of football that a boss telling a player to remove something from Twitter is deemed newsworthy.

I never speak about the specifics of work on Twitter or anything else. Even when doing professional updates in LinkedIn, I just talk about the tech I'm using, not about projects - and certainly not about changes to organisational structure!

Maybe, but that's clearly not the case here, as the club seem happy for any positive messages to be posted. Shaw's tweet was hardly derogatory about the club, but he obviously felt for whatever reason he had to delete it.

 

Not very many "real world" jobs where the company monitors what employees put on their personal social media.

I think it's more common practice than you think....I've certainly got several examples in recent times from people I know who have had their wrists slapped by their employer for posting stuff that could be seen as derogatory to their employer.

Yeah saw that, unbelievable.

 

Me and a mate went down the ground to see any media types. We saw that where the "Adkins" was written in the snow it had been brushed away. We asked a security guy and he said "the cleaners did it off their own back"

 

We hung around for a bit longer, managed to have a brief chat with Henry Winter who was a top guy. My mate the. Decided to try and write Adkins in the snow again. He had barely written the letter A, when a security guy came sprinting out the doors claiming it was their snow and not to write in it. All very petty IMO.

What's so wrong with what he has said? Seems to be 3 or 4 statements that make sense?!

Well I thought most of the players looked totally relaxed and happy.

 

The fact that the press haven't yet started an "Outraged Saints Players Exodus" campaingn yet suggests that, contrary to what many would like to believe, the players are acting as Professionals and not like us rabid emotional fans. Like many of us they may feel that NA has been treated harshly - but they still have a job to do. Hopefully doing that job profesionally will keep us up.

I'm as disappointed as anyone at the sacking, NA was my first choice a couple of years ago and I expected him to be here for a long time. I have had time to reflect and one thing stands out, whatever anyone says the boss has the last word and carries the can for his decisions.

 

All employees have to grasp the concept that they can disagree as much as they like but in the end if the boss wants to go another way it's go that way willingly or leave. If NA disagreed with NC over transfers he had those choices. Obviously his misplaced loyalty in Kelvin Davis caused a problem and showed he did get his way at times. It is no good having a set up that encompasses a process that in the end is not what the manager is happy with. When he came NA was aware of that process and embraced it and continued in public to voice his support for NC. That process isn't going to change.

 

It seems to me that the results were a side issue and the oft reported tensions between NA and NC were the real issue. I just hope we haven't done a Blackburn. NC is the boss and the manager manages the players he wants to buy or else. I would have hoped that NC would bring in the players that NA wanted, as he didn't I think NA wasn't going to leave and not receive compensation.

 

Where I stand, NA has lost a job that was never going to be anything but a compromise given the personalities. He has a tremendous record and after a short time will be in a job he likes, for a club where he is allowed to manage as long as he is successful and will probably look back on his exit from SMS as a relief. He may regret being sacked but the financial cushion will soon mask that. In the end he will not really be giving us much thought having moved on with his life.

 

I think that is exactly where we are, sad that such a likeable guy didn't manage to keep his job but we have to move on tomorrow night and get something from the match. NA isn't coming back, the team has to forget about this episode and carry on, so do we.

Can anyone confirm the rumour that Pochettino's translator has been employed directly by Cortese and is being used to pass messages to the players regards tactics and formation, regardless of what the manager says?

 

I like the idea of this, very QPR 4 year plan like. 1-0 up on Monday night and pinoche turns to the bench and says to his translater "tell Davis to warm up, we are going to tighten up the middle of the park" translator mumbles something and on comes Guly.

Yeah, anyone who speaks Spanish, including a couple of the players.
