djchapsticks Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) 8 minutes ago, St.Ricky said: No confusion. Every manager who is new to a club will have a look at his current squad and then make decisions on their future. That's exactly what has been said. Whether all stay or some go will be his decision, whatever his predecessor thought. Similarly it makes sense to listen to the previous incumbent, look at the list of targets and compile your own list.... He is The Boss after all and he will, rightly, be judged on the outcomes on the pitch. No room for sentiment - that's for us, the fans. Yeah, I understand how new managerial appointments work. He didn't actually say 'shape up or ship out', publicly regarding any of his players though, much like the headline suggested. 'The squad needs more quality and depth' is a very different statement to 'some of the players here aren't good enough' but the second statement is more eye catching, even if it is completely fabricated. This was Zicos point, that the headline was deliberately misleading. Edited June 15, 2018 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my final reply to you on this. You know these wee dogs that constantly yap, yap , yap ! There is no way you can shut them up. Walk away the peace and quiet is bliss.

I have never and never will criticise any player or manager on the forum. I support, the manager and don't envy the decisions he has to make or the timescale in which he had to make them which was the context of the article. Back then to explicit or implicit. No disrespect intended but you clearly prefer explicit. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Good interview with the club captain on Buddievision. He seems to be very positive about the new managerial appointment, so that is encouraging. Stephen talks about players ge knows (including his brother John) who have nothing but good things to say about Stubbs as a coach and a person more generally.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Is the article being argued about on here not just based on this interview at a press conference? If so, folks can see for themselves what Stubbs said: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, folks can see for themselves what Stubbs said: The "discussion" has been about two things. Firstly a sensationalised headline added by a sub editor to an article in the ET. Secondly it is about what was explicit or implicit in what was said. Most (I think) realise that this is a non story. AS appointed manager. Shock.. He is going to assess his present playing staff. Shock.. He has talked withprevious manager about squad and signing targets. Shock. He will seek to add depth to the squad asap. Shock.. The World Cup is possibly taking up the time of some contacts and might delay possible loan signings (which he sensibly wants to keep to a small number). Nothing out of the ordinary.

SaintGlenburn Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 If rumours are to be believed, what Jackson brings to the party is a very large carry out, an unhealthy interest in his friends wife and feelings of guilt and shame the next morning. Ahh guilt and shame. That classic fragrance you wore on a sunday morning after a night in Viennas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what you mean Johnny Reply ( what a player you were) Both you and IOBS could have done the decent thing and admitted you had misrepresented what Stubbs had said. Even Drew had the decency to admit jumping the gun. You have made a total arse of yourself over this. Zico has handed your arse to you here. Zico FFS.
