As others have pointed out, it's HIS signings & HIS tactics. If I feck up at work I hold my hands up & take responsibility. If someone in my working party fecks up due to what I tell them to do up I also take responsibility. And of course I didn't employ them in the first place!
Sorry, disagree, because in the world of football it's the manager that is held responsible.
We're like the North Korea of football: every year the crops fail so Kim Jong Tisdale executes some peasants whilst building himself another pitch err palace
I fnd myself increasingly agreeing with the point you are making GOG. I haven't quoted the first part of your post simply because I just couldn't do that myself, never have and never will boo my team. I honestly would rather not go if it got to that though by the same token will only applaud the side if I felt the performance was worthy of the club and its supporters. If it was as poor as yesterday I would do as TVR reckons he did which was to turn away and walk out. However I have absolutely no problem identifying with the rest of the post. Like you I feel hugely disappointed after the the exciting possibilities the season offered. I still think Tis can turn this around but he has got to do something pretty drastic about this decline. Unlike many, I like the style of football he has brought to the club and i respect the bloke, but it just ain't working now and a change needs to happen with his approach and certainly with the players approach. good post from you.
I agree wholeheartedly with this...Tisdale has a set menu I feel and its his way or nothing... it works against teams trying to play a similar passing game the result is often in our favour and the games very enjoyable, but he has no plan B it seems and when we come up against teams like Barnet who are direct and strong he doesn't seem to be able to change his approach to the game.
It is NOT collective responsibility. The one constant over the last 5 years has been Tisdale. He is responsible. Managers are responsible, not their subordinates. Stop making excuses for him. He got thru the last 5 years by saying he has a 5-year plan. Well, where's the progress?!. Where are the solutions to the problems that we're always had?! The football has generally been boring. There's no excitement. We need a fresh approach. Give someone else the chance for God's sake.
Trouble is globey its in the world in general and its wrong. I noticed, when i was teaching, that increasingly it was the teacher who was being held to account if a kid was too lazy to work and ultimately fekked up on the exam grades. I think back to when i was that kid and the finger of account would have been firmly pointed at me and my parents would have wanted to know why it was that I had personally screwed up. Its the way society has gone. Something wrong? It ain't my fault and must be someone else's responsibility!! Yeh its easy enough for a manager to say 'I take responsibility' but they probably only do so for effect, like so much else they often say. Whenthe manager says 'we' he is damn well right, its ALL of them who need to take responsibility; players, coaches, management and tea lady. Collective responsibility and collective action to put it right please city, and quick.
yes it is.
The hat is the only thing he has in common with Big Malc, or maybe not.....
