That reminds me, I need to clean out my 12 gauge shotgun.

The one thing MON had was respect of his players. Even ex-players came out and said they would have run through a brick wall for him. No, he did'nt get on with them all, but they seemed to play for him.

It's probably what's lacking in the current set up.

As Allan Evans said in his Sunday Times interview last week, you always respect the manager that signed you. The Chosen Few that were picked by MON week in, week out, certainly gave their all for him. For all his faults, he certainly got them  motivated for every game. Not too sure what the rest of the squad thought of him though.

Mon was a good motivator of his players , he had his favourites but he did seem to get players to play for him- I think houllier runs a far stricter regime now and some players have their noses out of joint .

Shape up or ship out - it's up to them!
