Excellent interview by Big Sam this morning on challenges that new managers face and how fans and owners want
Instant success... I won't bore you with endless quotes but here are a couple if snippets which I think we can take in to begin to understand what our 2 are going through!
"When you bring in a team if new players you are literally going into training every day and learning about your players strengths and weaknesses, asthey are about yours"
"It is an extremely difficult job to get a team of new players to gel and play as a unit in the first year let alone the first 3-4 months which everyone expects"
"To build a successful team does NOT happen overnight and takes a lot of hard work over a period of a couple of years, mistakes will be made but it what you take from them mistakes and how you rectify them that matters, and above all the mist important thing and possibly the hardest is.... Patience"
Wise words IMO!

He is dealing with good players though and whilst I'm not a fan of big Sam he does have a proven track record at the highest level...we have two men/idiots who don't.
When you are paying a guy thousands a week one would assume they'd fit in quicker too...
I know it's all relative but it actually makes it easier of the manager knows what he is doing and that's where gtfc encounter a problem

I too thought it was a good interview and I'm no really a fan of his. I guess it comes down to taking a view that you have the right man or men for the job in the first place.

i'd assume that every manager appointed in considered the 'right man for the job' at the time. You only really know whether you have made the right choice after two full seasons IMO but we never seem to get that far and IMHO that is a significant reason why we find ourselves were we are. Perhaps is isnt always the appointments that are wrong, but the sackings? Having said that if say, Buckley had still been here and we had been steady in mid table in League 2 the majority would have been claiming it wasnt good enough and change was needed. Would they be right? |

But they do have an excellent track record at our kind of level, they haven't just become excrement managers. They just need time to adapt to the different requirements of our league and our expectations. Anybody with some talent can improve when given time to learn. |

Exactly.... I could understand people's scepticism if they just had some success at Boston because it could be put down to luck I guess, but thru did the exact same thing at Ilkeston and got the promoted... So they go have an excellent track record of building successful teams, albeit at a lower level... IMO they just need TIME to adapt to this level and expectation! |

Based on Jamie Clark, Hope, Llewellyn, Heywood and plenty more who have sunk into oblivion from his last stint i doubt that very much. Buckley was completely outdated, out of touch with the game during his last spell IMHO. The rest however in total agreement. |

Or you could argue that with terrible players he managed to stay in the league. Not that I was a Buckley fan mark III. (but I was MkI and MkII)
