Shades of Nathan Jones with whatever this is meant to be

Plus, it seems like he's welcoming them back from a break, not just the international players but the whole squad - it begs the question, how long have they had off? A week? More?

He really luffs them...

A good question. Given our league position you’d have hoped there might have been some good use of time on the training ground. Not jetting off, that should be a reward not a right.

But then time at Staplewood might have interfered with Lego’s own getaway. Glad the fucker has his priorities sorted.

Oh hi guys, how was the international break?

This sort of thing doesn’t help his cause. No objection to him having a private life, but it should stay private.

Bloke’s  an egotist. Full of himself, with little justification.

Some managers can be arseholes, and braggarts (Clough in his early days, and Mourinho spring to mind), but they had a track record of results first. 
 

We’ve had some knobs as managers in the past, but can’t think of any who’d see themselves on social media like this. Not Hoddle, not Branfoot, both had a bit more self respect no matter what their other shortcomings.

His social media presence is like his football... Embarrassing 😉

Tbh this is a bit harsh. Clearly his mrs took the photo. 
 

People are allowed to have a life even though they manage a football team 🤣

I don't follow anyone's social media, but it doesn't seem unusual for someone to put up a holiday pic?

Comparing him with people almost double his age, course it's different, it's a complete different era for fuck sake 😂

 

I'm not happy with how the seasons gone so far, or with much of the football we've been served up, but some of this whining and crying about every little detail of the man is pathetic 😂

 

Man is posted in photo with girlfriend, is your damning headline.

Shame he isn't punching above his weight on the pitch too 😂

No issues from me. You'd like to think him removing himself from the situation for a few days might help him realise how bad our current plight is and come up with something to help improve it.

I'm expecting the complete opposite.

Yes, some fair points made. 

Obviously a generational thing, but I'd rather a manager who got on with the job, and did it well.

How can he do that when he’s playing about on a beach?

Blimey, didn't realise Hoddle was also a manager whilst still playing for Spurs...

Good point. But he was still a player at this stage.
Think he might have matured a bit by the time he became a manager ( and I did say we’d had some knobs as managers before anyone points out some of his later other failings …)

I'm sure he does when he's working, but like every other being in existence, we don't work 24/7 365, I can forgive him for taking a trip down the beach 😂

If he's posting it straight after our next heavy loss then people might have a right to be angry (and I'd agree) but it's the international break and we have no idea when that photo was actually taken. Of all the sticks to beat the man with right now, this ain't it 😂

You've clearly managed to get over that Branfoot Twerking video, having dropped MLT, more quickly than I have. 🙂

Nope. He's far too close to the players. Fuck knows how he greets Stephens.

And spare a thought for poor old Smallbone who has had such a terrible time waiting for his bottiie to heal.
