I'd like to think he'd be working twice as hard with the players at moor farm trying to rectify our lack of character and spine, a problem that's been plaguing us for to long now. He's had long enough to identify the problems and address this, if he's sodded off on holiday then I'm sorry but that's a f*****g joke, I seriously hope it's a rumour and nothing more.

I must admit when I first heard he had gone away my thoughts were the same. Surely after a very average start to the season he should be there working with the team.

Rample Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Not all deals need him to be present. I doubt you'd try for someone like Jota without him personally selling the club, but I'm pretty sure they could tie up a loan deal without him using other staff, or just a telecon. Likewise he has no role to play in outgoings other than sanctioning them so we'll just have to wait and see. At this point all I can see are loans either way. But yes, he should be working with our players not called up and drilling his ideas into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbylad92 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Or maybe he's gone abroad to get a deal done and it might be business not be pleasure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 More likely to be personally escorting a player away from the club in an "I'll drive him there myself" style. Or picking out a holiday home he can buy with his pay off when he gets sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Players and managers aren't robots, you don't just feed them batteries and they go forever. Think about when you are at work, don't you look forward to a few days off? Fergie used to do it all the time, he even let his players miss a match so they could catch a few days in the sun and recharge their batteries. I think it's great that they do it, otherwise when does he get any time spent with his family, May 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have decided to not get drawn in on inflated prices and start playing some of the u23s. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he has done as much as he can in the market and feels he,deserves sometimes in the sun for his efforts. Wasn't the last manager to get time in the sun for his "efforts" Paul Jewell....or was that the News of the World (aka the sunday sun).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely went away on Sunday. Doesn't mean he is still away. He could have been out there Sunday and Monday and come back yesterday but left the family out there.

Gypsy Ram Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Don't players work a couple of hours a day and then a few hours on match days with a lot of free time, while getting paid more than investment bankers? Don't buy this they need time off malarky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine GR's is insane and if he is in the sun(shine) he will no doubt have a cocktail in one hand and a mobile phone in the other. I bet he works 70-80 hours plus a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in the real world, and do not believe for 1 minute any manager works those number of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
