Does Rotherham have more child abuse or changes in football management? Discuss.
A lot of top managers enforce their personality and authority on a team by doing something big. Guardiola used Joe Hart to big himself up - now last night we saw how wrong an assessment that was of Hart, BUT Pep clearly thinks there's something to be gained. I fear Danny is too decent a man to do anything like that. I don't want him sacked, but a lot of knee-jerk fans will. My thought would be to change direction and shock the dressing room. Danny brought in Liddle. At best he's been ordinary, at worst almost a liability, so disloyal as such a u-turn would seem, I'D DITCH LIDDLE as both captain and player. Then I'd change tactics somehow - I don't think it matters how - we just need to give the players on the field something new to believe in. In management terms I'm with you Matt on stability BUT our results are depressingly defeatful (I've gone all Bunterish), I think the manager has to embrace change.
If we sit and do nothing we might go out and beat Scunny on Saturday (if they are on a downer after losing to Oldham) AND the danger in that is that will encourage us to think we've turned a corner when all that has happened is Scunny were temporarily heading in the wrong direction. We might beat them and return to losing ways the following week and proceed to waste several more weeks before we take the radical action necessary.
And yes I'd do everything I could to sign a free agent, even at an inflated wage. There's no mileage in keeping players within a stable comfort zone when you're getting relegated. It's like the draw for the FA Cup ...... when you keep drawing out numbers over 60 it's time to give the balls a shake. And by the way couldn't we come up with a lottery machine that draws the balls a little more excitingly than Paul Ince and David James? FKKKKING 'ell, Colchester away - plum draw no one wanted or what?
