tannerall 25,935 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Afraid I have to bring this up, but the focus in our time of trouble appears to be on our manager, the team's lack of achievement and Joey frigging Barton. And Davie at some stage must be accountable too. A great player, international experience, a stalwart of solid defences with us and Everton. a model professional and a great ambassador for the club. But is he cutting it as a number two in management. Our poor defence, lack of confidence in midfield defending, and man management and confidence building, should be areas he should be proficient in, but are we seeing the end result ? Do we need a much tougher counterpoint to our Mr Nice Guy and forward thinking tactician Mr Warburton to cajole the players in to performing to requirements ?

delamonty 992 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Buck stops with MW. Poor signings imho and no plan 'b' Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 He does like the background doesn't he? Maybe like Lee McCulloch he does all his leadership and guidance stuff well out view and on the training pitch. Also - much like Lee - the evidence of it shining through into generating results seems a bit opaque. Early days though. Maybe the W&W partnership might yet deliver the sort of success we expect. Seems a long way off at present though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 It'll be the kit man's fault by the time we're finished looking for scapegoats. Bottom line ,if we're playing the blame game Warburton is where the buck stops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimjim1690 4,534 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Could someone explain to me please, what exactly does an assistant manager do, apart from assisting?. Buck stops with the manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
