When asked a similar question towards the end of the interview he said basically they are warming to him now as they get familiar with his style & tactics.

If anybody has a match programme from the Aberdeen game, read Gary dickers music selections and it will tell you everything you need to know.

killiepiemuncher Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We probably could get Mulumbu for the kind of money Dorrans would be looking for. I know who I’d prefer. No contest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fussed about Dorrans tbh, there are better free agents out there looking for the same money but with less risk of missing matches through injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could stay fit he'd be a good player for most teams in the p ship. Hearts took a gamble with Naisy and it would be similar Dorrans, probably with a similar outcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Just seen some of Broadfoots comments and it’s pretty damning on Alessio considering Scottish football is hardly renowned for professionalism and fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 The Broadfoot piece of lazy journalism isn’t damning imo . Player doesn’t like new manager .. gives opinion to red top ... they sensationalise it .. suits their xenophobic view . That’s a classic piece of Scottish media reporting I didn’t like my first boss’ s method s neither did a few others , I left , problem sorted . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When its any red top article I just look for the quotes and it wasn't so much the differing training methods that stood out for me as that is common but more so having to to do extra fitness training. Just surprising to hear scottish players complain about lack of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Broadfoot apparently requested a contract extension recently which was rejected. Sounds like sour grapes to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think the press are loving this AA “disaster”, they were hysterical about it when Nomads won, then a few crap domestic results, now the talk of players not rating him. I think it’s harsh on the guy as there was no way he could have been another Steve Clarke in regards to results or how much the fans loved him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a guy who can barely operate a microwave are you really surprised he finds it difficult to adapt to a style & tactics of a man who has won & coached at the top end of European football ??? Thanks for the last 2 years Kirk, but best for both parties he has moved on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s harsh on the guy as there was no way he could have been another Steve Clarke in regards to results or how much the fans loved him Given his comments on Radio Scotland last night, Gary Dicker admitted the players weren't sure of AA to start with but are now getting to grips & coming around to his tactics & style of play. Obviously there will be 1 or 2 who dont agree, so short of self blame for failure to adapt, they spit the dummy then run to a red top just itching to sensationalise a story about a foreign manager. Pretty standard stuff from a Scottish rag who view AA as not one of the old boys network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) Harvey St. Clair has revealed the attraction of working with Angelo Alessio again was a big part in his decision to move to Ayrshire. The Venezia and Scotland U21 forward made the Rugby Park switch late on in deadline day, and having worked with the gaffer early in his career as a Chelsea youth player – the opportunity for a reunion wasn’t one he turned down. “I’m really happy to be back closer to home, and I can’t wait to get started with all the boys,” he told Killie TV. “I spoke to the manager who I knew from my time at Chelsea and It just felt like the right place to be. “After I got back from pre-season in Italy, I heard about the offer to go to Killie. It all happened so fast – I’m just very happy to be here.” Swapping the tactical nature of Serie B for the rough and tumble of the Scottish Premiership is quite a move – but its one that Harvey knows he’ll need to adapt to. “Yeah, Italy was a completely different world to what I’m used to,” he explained. “The football in Italy is very tactical and technical. It has a physical edge as well, so some differences to Scotland. I know that it’s something I’ll have to adapt and get used to. “I have a very attacking nature, but I’m also aware of my defensive responsibilities – and that’s something thats been enhanced by my time in Italy. “The international break feels like the right time to come in; I’ll get the chance to get a weeks training in and get started.” I'll trust the judgement of someone with 2 years experience of working under AA over a couple of guys, who after 5 mins, bad mouthing him via the SMSM, having decided his tactics & methods weren't for them.......
