I tend to side with the Shankly thinking in the matters of well trained geniuses in the football world:

"When people ask me my credentials for being a manager or a coach I have one answer... Bill Shankly. They're my qualifications, the way I was born. And that's all the qualifications anyone needs in the game I'm in. I didn't think it was necessary to take an FA coaching course. I didn't think it was going to make me any better. If I take a course am I going to be a better man six days later because I've got a piece of paper? That's nonsense. Chamberlain came back from Germany with a piece of paper.. . the worst ****ing piece of paper we've ever had!!"

...and I tend to side with my instincts on afforementioned geniuses who spout their imparted knowledge to all who will listen (and even those who wont) namely, they are bawbags. With nothing to say and they say it too loudly.

Respect is earned. We should respect some knobend who knows nothing of our internal training processes beyond what he thinks he knows, and listen to his afforementioned wisdom as gospel?

**** right off pal. If you're not with us, you're against us and thus, same rules apply.

ENDOF

This.

Why should they? And give the guy any sort of recognition for the he's spouted? Id rather the club ignore it which is what they will do.

I didn't say they should, just that I would like it if they did for my own curiosity.

Wasn't it Pat or Jimmy who said that the additional training that Ned brought into the second half of the 0-7 season was a possible reason for the Tornados' drop in form? i.e. they were knacked from too much training.

Is this guy in a job just now?

(The Dutch boy, not the guy you've quoted)

[nellio]

Dont think so. He's freelance so to speak and usually provies advice on injury recovery etc. Was employed by Bellamy to look after his knee problems near the end of his career and worked with Arjen Robben recently I think as well.

Ned T admitted as much himself. The point being that once the players are up to speed and playing one or two games every week, there's no need for heavy sessions. Just playing regularly keeps the players in condition - working off strains and knocks is what training should be about then.

As far as pre-season and La Manga are concerned, I would think a whole lot depends on exactly what Stubbs and the coaches are doing with the guys. They aren't necessarily being run till they puke.

He is CEO of World Football Academy which delivers training courses and seminars globally, a fair amount delivered by himself. For the most part he is a consultant to teams as and when needed, particularly tournaments.

It would be nice to hear Hibs respond to this, if for no other reason that I'm interested in this sort of stuff.

Now, that would open a can of worms. They'd never be off here addressing the posts which inevitably follow a bad result questioning tactics and other such stuff.

Baggies dismiss Verheijen commentsFootball
Posted at 13:10
West Brom have rubbished claims by former Wales assistant boss Raymond Verheijen that their pre-season camp in Austria is too demanding.
Verheijen, who has extensive European experience as a fitness coach, wrote on his personal Twitter account: "Typical pre-season in JurassUK Park: West Brom running a marathon EVERY THREE DAYS as Tony Pulis aims super-fitness."
However, the Baggies have hit back with director of performance Dr Mark Gillett praising manager Tony Pulis' approach.
"Of course the players are pushed hard during pre-season but frankly some of the media reports describing our approach as prehistoric are ridiculous and uneducated," he said.

Remember the definition of a CONSULTANT in the 'Dilbert' cartoons?



A consultant is someone who first CONs you, and then INSULTs you. And all the while you pay him to do so.

A consultant is someone who asks you a lot of questions then gives your answers back to you along with a bill for a million quid.

A consultant is a person who gathers together all the previously ignored ideas from the people who work in the front line of businesses.

The consultant then presents them to the leaders who previously ignored them and didn't fancy a change they hadn't thought of themselves.

The ideas are unanimously tested now that the consultant can be blamed if it goes wrong and the glory can be basked in by the leaders if it goes right - the consultant is long gone whatever the outcome but is always paid.

I hope Stubbs listens to the man's views and makes his own mind up. There's nothing wrong with a bit of criticism and if AS looks into it and thinks it's nonsense that's fine by me.
