Two of them, under 21, I am related to and they assure me this was not the case with the majority of the young lads - as for the "seasoned pro's" I only know an odd one or two and they felt he was limited on the "man management skills." part of the job.and could be very aloof at times
As I stated previously he could be very uninterested in their ( young lads) welfare and was always reminding them " if you want help speak to your parents or relatives : remember you are paid to do a job so just get on and do it ....."

When I was a young pro , albeit sixty+ years ago, it was big step forward to leave school and suddenly be thrust into the highly "competitive" world of professional sport.and I would imagine it can be much the same in 2010
Yes I went to my family for advice but I also got good advice from the manager and club staff on a number of aspects of life outside the football club..
These included drinking, smoking , gambling and how ro conduct yourself in public etc etc
I am/always will be a great admirer of JC the player , having met and spoken with him on a number of occasions and he is a pleasure to be with - a true gentleman .
Unfortunately it appears that he just doesn't have the required acumen to be a good manager

A football club dressing room can be a difficult place to work in
It brings together a group of people of different educational levels , social upbringing and playing skills for a start.
It is essentially a team game and again certain players find that difficult to work round and it is the manager's job to undersatand the different pluses and minuses in a players make up and use them to the best advantage.
To be a successful football club manager must be one of the most difficult jobs around and I can never undersrand why any sane person would want to have the hassle of the job :greengrin:wink:

I personally would like to draw a line under the is he good/is he bad discussion as it has been done to death and would prefer to remember the man for what he has achieved on the football field

Based on that, should we just rotate caretaker managers every couple of weeks in the hope of going through the rest of the season unbeaten? Could be Alistair Stevenson one week, Gareth the next, Rod for a bit, etc

Would be cheap too so ticks Rod's boxes!

That's pretty much what we're doing. :greengrin

Sorry I didn't realise that Rod and the Board were keeping the players up to date. I thought Rod kept his cards very close to his chest during these negotiations. Obviously not, so thanks for the info and keep us posted on what else your friend is getting told please.

A good post.

However I'd wager that even the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson is still working on his man management style and his playing squad will no doubt have benefitted from his many, many years of experience.

It's a pity that JC's first Managerial appointment was with us and I'm still of the opinion that he has what it takes to be an excellent Manager one day.

According to the "mighty" Chick Young "Hibernian have spoken to former Chelsea and West Ham assistant Stevie Clarke and Scotland Under-21 manager Billy Stark, with a possible partnership between the two, BBC Scotland's Chick Young informs us. If you see any other out of work managers looking on from the main stand at Easter Road let me know."

Another so-called pundit in the know!

Is there anyway can block ip addresses, like say Chick Young, so he cant just scour through our threads and claim to be in the know?

Just love the lack of real journalism that goes on these days, he has less of a clue about our next manager than we do!

Thankyou for your and "Eaststand's" comments.
The parts I have underlined above say it all IMO
A good manager will always seek to improve no matter what job he is in and Sir AF is a good example.
Re JC : again I think you have hit the button . If he had cut his teeth at say a second division club and learnt his trade I genuinely believe he might still be at ER.
