Lobey_Dosser Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Wee bit of public criticism of McManus from McCall. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29680578 There is something going on with McManus. That tackle 2 mins in against Accies looked like sheer anger/frustration. Then yesterday, he was reluctant to run throughout the 45 and repeatedly encouraged Twardzik to give the ball to O'Brien, who we know is not comfortable with the ball at your feet. Fair play to him if he is playing through an injury but there is little point in doing so if you are going to shirk responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the manager slate him like that if he was playing through an injury? If so I don't think that's good management. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Mccalls very good at pointing the finger at everyone apart from himself and his backroom staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well McCall decided to give McManus another 2 year deal so there's only one person to blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chummy Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Mccall running up the tunnel last 2 home matches seems quite bizarre......im at a loss as how we are so shit this season tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ainsworth did well in the second half although his crosses were too close to the keeper, can he only play coming down the hill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 If you're brave enough to watch the highlights, the defending for the goals looks even worse than it did at the time. The 3rd in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, McCall tends to point out if a player is carrying a knock do I guess McManus wasn't. One of McCalls greatest attributes is his man-management but performances have understandably prompted him to have a dig recently, albeit not always mentioning them.

DEWELL Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Why doesn't he have a 'dig' at his coaching staff who seem incapable of getting players fit and up for games. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Ainsworth put in some cracking low crosses, but at no point was there anyone following in from midfield to take advantage of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100percentsteel Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Some people will stay positive about McCall no matter what happens. 2nd place last year was wonderful and the last few minutes at Aberdeen along with the hour after the game will live in our memories for a very long time. However, that fact remains that we were shit to watch for the majority of last season and this season has been woeful. We haven't looked fit, sharp, organised or professional in any games we have played. Iceland away was a fucking shambles and it has continued like that ever since. The blame for this lies at McCalls door. He brought the duds in this summer, he picks the team, the tactics, the formation, the subs and dictates the training regime. The big problem though is who is McCall actually answerable to? The former club photographer? What's he saying about this whole episode and where are the board? We need a change now - it is getting worse week by week. The media darlings time is up - I honestly believe he has lost the dressing room and did so weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 who is McCall actually answerable to? The former club photographer? What's he saying about this whole episode If you mean Flow, to my knowledge he has never been ‘the club photographer’. However, I am sure he is just as frustrated and angry as anyone at our current predicament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we in a position though where the man who does the TV interviews is responsible for staff coming and going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is something only Flow could answer, however, I have my doubts on whether he has the final say on the coming and going of managerial and playing staff.

superward Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 That is something only Flow could answer, however, I have my doubts on whether he has the final say on the coming and going of managerial and playing staff. From what I read before I think the setup is that McCall is answerable to the board of directors rather than one individual such as a chief exec like we had previously. The general manager role I wouldn't think would have the responsibility to directly line manage the playing side of the club but would have overall responsibility of managing all other elements (e.g. media, housekeeping, catering, support staff etc).

Haggischomper Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 That would be my understanding too Superward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
