Football Department Review

[PaulP]

I heard an interesting comment today that was supposedly made by an ex player (maybe Rhys), it was along the lines of:
Our blokes today are all nice blokes, you'd gladly let them into your house and marry your daughters.
Back in the day when we were successful, your wouldn't have let any of those blokes in your house.

Sellers said tonight as a footballer, the critic you will listen to most unconditionally is your team mate(s), not your coach. Once you lose the respect of your team mates, your finished. Our blokes clearly dont demand enough of one another.

This isn't a shot at you GTC, but most footballers these days are nice. Back in the day you wouldn't let players from any team into your house.

Sellers is a goose. If your team mates are here today gone tomorrow, how can you build any kind of relationship, any kind of synergy ? If you have a losing mindset, how hard is that to break ? If you have a club that is trigger happy across all aspects of the football department, how can you give 100% to footy when you're constantly looking over your shoulder ?

Our players are not soft, they are not overpaid fat cats who are just chasing big contracts. Players have been coming to us for fat contracts and brown paper bags since the 60's. Our blokes have lost the winning habit, and have been witness to far too much instability and uncertainty, far too much list turnover, far to much coach turnover, which is why they play the way they do.
