RamNut Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Definitely NOT a moron - a very intelligent person, whether you agree with him or not. He's got a point though. Ironically it makes him appear manipulative and shifty, which isn't very clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I think ruthless is about right an I don't have a problem with it so long as he delivers. You can't run a multi-million pound organisation successfully on the basis of being nice to everyone all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 He's got a point though. Ironically it makes him appear manipulative and shifty, which isn't very clever. Any point is being stretched beyond any recognition whatsoever. The word 'moron' used to be a classification of IQ above 50 but below 70, although it is now accepted as an implication of stupidity. Nothing else. Manipulative and shifty is an acceptable description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manipulative and shifty is an acceptable description. I've worked with a few of these types. Not my cup of tea really but they are totally single minded. I'm hoping Sam turns out to be far more successful at "turning it around" than some of the aforementioned people. However, you'll be pleased to know that even if they didn't do particularly well, as individuals they normally left for higher positions and more money............

rammieib Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Still a little bit of spin in there. "we've added 5 or 6 thousand to the gate on recent weeks" Yes Sam. The fans of Leeds and Sheffield Wednesday came to see McClaren lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Definitely NOT a moron - a very intelligent person, whether you agree with him or not. I don't like it when people throw around the word very intelligent so casually. Very intelligent is a scientist or engineer. Looking at the world a different way to the majority of people and not accepting something as final. Trying to improve the world. Of course he isn't a moron but he is definitely someone you can not trust. He is in a position where morals don't mean much. You are set a goal, a target and you do whatever it takes to achieve that without questioning it or your own approach. Choosing to ignore morals or ethics does not make a person very intelligent. The success garnered in business is not representative of intelligence. Intelligence and business success is not linear, it is non-linear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I do look at these people as having skills that a lot of us don't and being able to do jobs that a lot of us couldn't. I sometimes wonder how I ended up being a subordinate to someone who the other week asked me to write a "draught" on something! She is paid double what I am and is way more successful than I'll ever be...and is an explosive sociopath for good measure. To go far in business you generally need to be absolutely ruthless so far as I can tell, brains is just a bonus in the world of management and big business in my opinion.

eddie Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 A few under-achievers in this thread blaming others in order to cover up their own shortcomings, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I had this issue watching Clough give interviews where by I got so distracted counting his 'erms' that I lost track of what he was saying. Then along came Stevey Mac and I have the same issue with concentrating on his accent fluctuation, and now Sam and his mid sentance smiling, which is ludacris, I have never seen anything like it!
