What the hell had happened that Keogh has had to go report it to Mel?

No bacon at breakfast.

Does it really matter who the bad eggs are...what does matter is the fact that a man with so much business acumen listens too them. If you employ a manager then back him he should be the only one with the owners ear.

There was talk from a journalist last night suggesting it wasn't the old players this time. So that's saying there's a rift in the dressing room. 

Funny that the journalists never name the players when writing these stories, any idea why that is?

Really it has been mentioned a few times even in the last few days. It may be gossip in the media. but generally no smoke without fire 

Except when paper literally make stuff up, which happens a lot.

Cos the players are still here? Cos they want to keep getting info? Cos there's an unwritten rule not to dob players in?

Shall I rename this thread the "libel a player" thread?

By definition of law, The whole forum is riddled with libel claims. 

an imputation which is likely to lower a person in the estimation of right-thinking
people;

an imputation which injures a person's reputation by exposing him to hatred, contempt
or ridicule;

an imputation which tends to make a person be shunned or avoided.

The forum does this straight after every game with someone being made a scapegoat for another poor performance

There's a difference between posting a player isn't good enough or is underperforming, and suggesting he's a troublemaker or bad influence. Either way, we'd rather not give lawyers any grounds to sue due to defamation of character.

There's  a couple of angles which Pat Murphy has been pursuing on this. Out of control player power and MM the micro manager. There is possibly some truth in the first and the evidence certainly backs up the second! If the players have gone to MM to complain about SM then they can be accused of being disloyal. However they may have had a point. There can be no excuse for not giving 100% on the pitch, but if SM had lost their confidence and was unable to get them to gel into a unit (Friday certainly looked like that) then maybe blindly carrying on following his instructions wasn't something they were prepared to do.

im not defending their alleged behaviour, but it is interesting that lots of the negative reaction to the sacking is more about the manner and timing than shock that it happened to SM. His stock after Newcastle was low enough. It is even lower now

Do you think he told them not to run about?

Oh hang on, yeah he told Butters to pass forwards.
