Pulpman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 It's professional to wear a suit, it looks good and is a good role model for the young ones. Winning mentality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You would either get away with it or you would be dropped and/or transfer-listed. If you get away with it, then you will have won a battle of wills with the manager - and that is the first step in the manager being Paul Jewell losing the respect of his players. I'm not saying in this instance that imposing a dress code is a good thing or a bad thing (I have my opinion) - but defying it certainly isn't good whichever way you look at it. I just hope it isn't the start of an 'authoritarian approach' by the management team I can't stand the 'strict rules and percentages' over flair and expressing ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I think its a good idea and can see some logic to it. As stated there is a clear difference in the perception of someone in a suit or in a shell/track suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 An impressively large piece of negativity drawn out from such a small story. Nice. Succinctly put as well I thought Quite a sweeping statement from a moderator as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated there is a clear difference in the perception of someone in a suit or in a shell/track suit. You've hit the nail on the head, the players will feel no differently, it's just the impression they give. However, the opposition won't see the suits, so for me it's a bit of froth, a statement to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I just hope it isn't the start of an 'authoritarian approach' by the management team I can't stand the 'strict rules and percentages' over flair and expressing ability I honestly don't see that having strict dress code rules off the pitch and expressing flair and individuality on it need to be mutually exclusive.

Bris Vegas Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I honestly don't see that having strict dress code rules off the pitch and expressing flair and individuality on it need to be mutually exclusive. It probably doesn't.. I was thinking more along the lines of Fabio Capello and that style.. It all started with something similar.. Suits, then ban phones/music, then ban family members etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the opposition won't see the suits, so for me it's a bit of froth, a statement to the fans. I think they will. There are many studies that have been made and clothes do impact on the person. Also its a device to enforce the fact that the players are transitting from one status to another, a physical and dynamic change - but hey Sir Bobby and Sir Alex used this method all the time and its all about focus. A player in a suit has to focus on his apperance or he looks like he does not care, therefore its a state of mind that is already achieved. Question: You have an interview for a job that is what you really want to do, what do you wear? The best clothes you have, or sports gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I taught PE, I didn't walk into school with a suit on and then get changed, Suits were for open days, to impress prospective parents. No doubt, a player will be wheeled out to say how much he likes it, but to quote Christine Keeler 'he would say that wouldn't he'. I'm not anti it, I just think it's impact is minimal.

You just proved my point, your school wanted to be attractive to parents, show a level of professionalism. I would not expect a heart surgeon to walk around 'scrubbed in' when doing ward rounds or telling me that they have to do a quadruple bypass on a relative.

It wouldn’t surprise me. The latest announcement sounds like part of the usual, bog-standard, new-broom, mission-statement type ****** you get with any new manager.

Be prepared to be slagged by the moderators for being negative. I do agree with your sentiments though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
