Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I might also add that one of the most powerful tools in a manager's box is the old 'I'm not angry - just disappointed' nugget.

That, and 'You've let me down, you've let us down, and you've let yourself down'...

And then you fix the problem, or at least make a plan for fixing it.

Action will show the staff that you mean business, otherwise words are as wind.

If you show people that you value them, that you expect the very best from them, AND you help and support them to deliver that potential, then you tend to raise performance levels.

They also have to know they can't get away with any jiggery-pokery, of course. Take no shampoo.

It's not rocket surgery or brain science, but it is simple and effective.

And I think BR knows at least that much, and probably a helluva lot more.

Yes, the result was a complete eff up.

How the team (and I include BR in that) respond to the eff up will tell us a lot more about them than the eff up itself.

BR needs to do Theresa May - a root and branch clearout, sack the disruptive voices.

Can't quite see him in kitten heels somehow.

Edit: name spelling change before either of them sues me.

Teresa May is the glamour model, blue movie chick bro (so my pals tell me !!!) :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: ...

Aye good addition she could play centre half maybe? Better than Efe as well. She can play on the astroturf and happily pass the ball 5 yards..bounce will not affect her neither (so Brendan not need worry) so she will be better than Efe.

Edit- We were talking about this in work this morning the name sake(s)...hence the sharp response - honestly :doh: :doh: :doh:

Rodgers post match interview did have a bit of the Ronny about it. Mind you, Strachan used to do the same no matter how bad the team were.

MON never publicly attacked the team but at least you could see he was absolutely raging when they let him down. I really hope Rodgers tore them in pieces. If he didn't they'll begin to think that level of performance is acceptable.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deepBrendan Rodgers was wrong, Celtic defeat was embarrassing says Chris Sutton

Spoiler: click to toggle
I would much rather an ex player was honest than just a mouthpiece trying to keep his job. Tom Boyd could learn a thing or two.
:lol:

Tom Boyd doesn't get asked as he tells it like it is, not what his ghost writer wants him to say. Also did Boyd ever get himself deliberatley sent off at Ibrox because he didn't fancy it?
tom boyd is a hero but lets not pretend he "tells it as it is" ffs.

he said celtic fans who were critical of ronny should shut up and remember the 90s.

sutton didnt get himself sent off anyway, he lost the plot and ran around like a madman after punching lovenkrands in the tunnel at ht

I think last night was a masterclass move by Brendan, send out last years dross knowing they might efe it up as they did last season so many times but knowing he would win the tie at home next week, thus making it very easy for him to change any players he wishes and not having to explain too much to said players.
Thats pretty much the only idea I have been clinging too. :lol:

Whatever you do, don't start evangelising Rodgers.

Or I really will need to go lay down in a darkened room.

What would have happened if he did tear them a new one in front of the press?

The scary thing about all of this for me isn't what he said post match but that he failed to change the game plan during the match and gave Bitton the full 90 minutes. Everyone apart from Brendan obviously could see that we needed to get the ball wide and get some crosses into the box rather than tip-tapping it around with no urgency.

There's no doubt he tore them to pieces. They've embarrassed him big time with that result and I doubt most of them,if any, will get his trust back fully after that.

In public he will always back them as most managers would do, but in private he will be raging and I'm sure a few arseholess got told on Tuesday night how he felt.

Doubt it will make a difference. Only way to mend this squad is bin most of them and I'm sure BR knows it. That takes at least a season though.

There's always dafties that want the manager to come out and rip our own players to shreds after a bad result. Of course saying it was disappointing and there was no embarrassment isn't right either.

forrest, mcgregor and ciftci used instead of roberts was crazy. i can see why he went for those 3 individually but no way all 3 before roberts.

roberts looked rusty in the last friendly fair enough but he was the type of player needed against that packed defence even just for 20 minutes

Only if he was played on the left wing.

Name a manager who publicly calls out his players and almost certainly you'll name a failure of a manager.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson, perhaps the most famously hot tempered manager of all time, would say nothing in front of the media. Whenever you do see managers letting rip publicly it's usually a signal the beginning of the end for said manager. It may be frustrating for fans who are angry at players but you simply don't do it.
