I hope McLeish tears into the rest of the team too. They need a kick up the arse. The problem is some players cant take it and instead of producing a match winning performance afterwards they rant like spoilt kids.

Surely thats the art of motivation though?

Some people respond well to a kick up the arse, others react positively to an arm around the shoulder. (Mike Brearly's book "The art of captaincy" has it pretty nailed on).

If the manager has lost the dressing room he should go.

That said, if the only people he has lost is The Usual Suspects (ie. Dunne, Collins, Warnock) and Ireland then they should be shipped out.

Stand by both of my posts. Them 3/4 are trouble makers and have been for a long time now, if its just them they should go, for the good of the club as they were a problem under Houllier and apparently were turning against MON towards the end too. Houllier and McLeish maybe could both do much better without that lot.

That said, if his own signings ie. NZogbia and Hutton have turned against him as well as some of the other players, and our youth prospects (ie Bent, Gabby, Bannan etc etc etc) then McLeish should go.

Its one thing having players that should be getting sold no matter what in the summer anyway turn against him. But we cant afford to replace an entire team.

He should go because of where we are in the league not because of where he came from.

Dunne has said he supports McLeish so he either does or is being two faced.
The stories of what happened last season were another matter. Problem is, with this ridiculous transfer window system, it is difficult to ship people out. You can only drop them but still pay £60000 per week. I suppose you could suspend players without pay for physical assaults such as were reported, but you have to consider the onward sale value of the player.
