Not sure if you’ve been posting here long enough to remember breakfast gate, but a few days after the sacking, about 10 of us from this forum were at Moor Farm for breakfast. Mel and Sam, and a text message from Baird justified the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just reading the Pride book, and the Clement-Pearson period was presented as the manager/head coach being caught between the close relationship between Mel and the players. The moment the players feel like they can start moaning to the owner is the moment you should realise the relationships aren't ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do mostly agree but if you have concerns about your manager in a standard work place then highlighting these to their manager is fair enough? I know football isn’t really like any other industry but letting the manager manage is a bit of a myth. If they’re crap then this needs highlighting to somebody who can do something about it. If Mel was left to find out for himself he’d be accused of spying. Feel like it’s forgotten that the change in manager arrested the slide that season and we should arguably have gone up. Everything Clement has done since has also shown he is not up to being a manager, in my opinion. Apologies, very off topic post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
