life experience and an idea of the pressures of management and leadership fifty years of life experience....team leader.......emergency response team leader.............diploma from the National Examining Board for Supervisory Managers..............employed in one of the most dangerous industries in the world :016: my inside info. is usually spot on yep thats true..........young lad from county who's now at Liverpool..............Colin Henry.....yep, spot on as always Johndo :016: And finally, if we were to take on a new manager I'd rather have PLG than PL.

Clacher, I wasnt referring to players who you have seen as being gash all season. I'm referring to the ones who performed exceptionally well for this club up until they were ignored, or not allowed to leave at the last transfer window. I'm talking about the players who went undefeated in sixteen out of eighteen straight league games after last seasons split. Was the same man in charge then. Of course all thats forgotten now cos the OF fan brain takes over.

Inexperienced manager??? Dont recall our last two having any experience yet they are seen as icons by some. A number of people have spouted of about how CC cant get the best from the players. Do they know for a fact that that is the case or is it just supposition. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, its the players who dont want to perform for reasons that the manager has no control over. No, probably not. That would be too sensible and, personally, I have to question the sense of some posters on here.

After (the) sacrifice

Harry, I agree with everything you've said :025:

It is my honest opinion that Charlie Christie is capable of taking our team forward. I believe that, given the resources and the boardroom support he can build his own, successful, team. I believe he should be given the chance to show what he can do and I believe the fans of this club should give him the support and encouragement needed to achieve this.

He brought shame and embarrasment to a once proud nation and should be hanged. What that lad has done is tantamount to treason. He has destroyed all chances England had of winning the bat and ball tournie. A nation will suffer for one lads stupidity. No doubt questions will be asked in the house.

If he left right now then I dont think so but give hime another season and maybe. But, how often have we seen managers fail at a particular club, find another willing to give them a chance, and go on to glory.

gameplans

Hats of to you McB Just to twist this round to an adult perspective though. There are people attached to ICT who have been known to hand out complimentary tickets from time to time and my wife and I have been honoured on a couple of occassions to have been given tickets. So are you going to be miffed about that? We dont have season tickets because we cant make every home game and it seems pointless to me to tie up seats that can be better used. So we have to pay the full asking price on the day. We get to as many games as we can though, probably about 50% of home, and spend the best part of £100 each time with tickets, travel and food. Often we have a hotel to pay as well. Thats our choice so when a freebie comes along we're over the moon. I dont know what the take up on free child tickets was but I do know of one family who's parent had to go along for the first time because his under 12 child got a freebie. The parent had to pay the full gate price. So the club, by giving up a free seat actually gained the cost of a seat.

On another thread people have been calling for Dods to be sidelined because he's moving. Should Dargo be the same? What Dargo is saying is 'I'm waiting to see if someone else wants me, if they dont I might stay'. How can any management team plan for the future with attitudes like that?

IHE, who did brew attract, apart from Craig Dargo (he who came here because nobody else wanted him cos of his injury record and who now will not re-sign cos he's waiting to see what better offer will come his way) and half a dozen of our youth players. The management team at ICT did not spend, apart from Markus, in the January window because there was nobody of the right caliber available at the price they could afford. People are very good at taking part of a statement and twisting it to make out the narrator said something different. What was said was along the lines of 'we failed to secure the player we were after and the type of player we would like is not available so we have decided to put faith in our younger players and save the available funds till the next window...........' Sadly the first part of the statement is always omitted.

Excellent post 1980. I do have one question however. Put yourself in the shoes of an ICT manager. One saturday you walk out of the tunnel to to noise of 5000 fans in the home stands. Two weeks later you walk out to a near silent 3000ish and all you can hear during the match is the same one or two voices constantly critising whats happening on the park. How would you feel?

I go very slow and steady nowadays...................................................got to with eleven points on my license :007:

Never mind the wee feeder team. Come summer two polish, one lithuanian and two Irish will join ICT.
