As a season ticket holder and someone who attends many away games, I know exactly what I see and hear most weeks. Can you say the same from the Channel Islands? If not, don't assume what you don't know.
Its not just those that are against him that are bothered by the tone. There are a few of us on here who have been generally supportive who are somewhat irked by this interview.
I certainly dont expect SK to be taking advice from me, but when you work in a customer centred environment and your customers tell you en masse (Perth) what you are doing isnt good enough, you should at least stop for a second and see if there is another way to meet your objectives.
If you double down and keep heading in the same direction, you run the risk of alienating your customer who decide to keep their money in their pockets.
For a football manager that rarely ends well.
If his comments were simply clumsily phrased and he wasn't referring to the fans then all he has to do is to clarify what he meant. Hopefully someone at the club has had a tactful word in his ear.
No manager can afford to alienate fans unnecessarily.
So we should ignore his remarks about "so called experts"?
If he isnt talking about us, who is he talking about?
Im all for cutting him slack on performances, injuries etc, but those comments go too far for me......
I feel exactly the same and giving tomorrow a miss.after being at the recent games at tynecastle,easter road and last week,which were some of the worst performances I've ever seen I'm glad not too be going tomorrow.i usually hate missing games especially when it's in my control if I go or not but I just don't fancy it as I'm almost certain it's going to be the same old shit.our away support have been brilliant all season and I really hope we get a result for us all but especially for those travelling upto perth again.
I am lucky I can afford to go but I'm digging my heels in for tomorrow and not going , every away game for over two months I've watched the same shite and the same pitiful results, bar one minute in the St Mirren, and I'm just not doing it tomorrow. Do I care if I miss an unlikely victory ? no I don't
Not fussed how many he scores. If he can hold the ball up, bring others into play and get us up the pitch it will be an improvement to what we have been seeing recently.
Obviously the odd goal here and there would help, but I dont think thats why we are signing him.
We beed a foil for Stama when he comes back. A Bowman for our Moult so to speak. If he can do that we will have won a watch.
I'll re-itterate.
I sit near him ar Fir Park and can hear pretty much everything he says.
He is loud and animated, gets exasperated at times, throws his hands up in the air and questions decisions but I have never once heard him swear or use foul and abusive language towards any officials.
He just needs to calm down a bit but no different to many other managers on the touchline.
With our disallowed goal both Butland and the officials had the ‘cop out’ of Watt jumping with him and as been seen time and time again goalkeepers will get the benefit of the doubt 99 times out of 100 in that scenario.
I will always defend his work ethic , I think he works tirelessly. How good bad or indifferent he makes us everyone will have their personal opinion. I'm afraid I just don't listen to him anymore. He never says anything that changes it for me. He ours until the club decide otherwise. Do I want him sacked ? actually I don't care, it is what it is. I'm indifferent to him now . I'm bored to tears watching shite and just cant be arsed listening to anything trying to defend it.
Que Sera Sera as the song goes.
It's condescending, but you probably know that, or your autocorrect does.
People are going to take what they want from that interview, but there's nothing objectively controversial in what he said.
The away support is going to drop because it's not a cup game, and also the second visit to the same place in a week, and you know that too.
No he doesn't in my view. He's honest and he's always appreciated the support. You can see it in previous videos where he goes over and thanks the support at the end telling them they are brilliant
