Team spirit and new signings


CapeTownRams

Recommended Posts

One thing that worries me with Mac is whether his penchant for flair and foreign players might end up ruining the much talked about team spirit at the Club. This is not a dig at foreign players etc.

I was often skeptical about the much hyped team spirit during the NC era as he seemed to fall out with players easily. However, comments by the new management team and the players themselves since have tended to have vindicated the early talk. That's to say that the players really were and are a tight knit bunch. This is not to be underestimated in my view and was a big part of what we achieved last season. It takes skill and time to mould a team like that and you have to have a good eye for the right and wrong characters. NC on the whole seemed to be quite good at it.

Thing is that it takes some time to build up that team spirit but very little time to ruin it if you bring in a couple of the 'wrong sort'.

Mac needs to be very careful with this part of the next stage of our team development. My gut feeling is that he concentrates more on just the playing talents and doesn't put as much emphasis on the player character side of things. If he gets it wrong then it will set us back significantly in my view.

Let's see what develops.......

Well to- date that might be true. I was really talking from his previous tenure at other clubs, most notably Boro. Thing is that up to date he really hasn't been given much to spend so couldn't change things too much. That seems to have changed somewhat now and he's clearly been some cash to spend. When that happened at Boro he didn't spend very wisely I would say. Compare that yo his time in Holland where his hands were somewhat tied financially and he did well. Maybe the moral is to get the best out of him you don't give much down to spend ! :)
