Like suggest a change in diet, habits, training methods and professionalism. Fucking player power? At Killie? c***s could hardly kick a ball until Clarke and Dyer got hold of them. Hope the door hitting their arses on the way out causes a career ending injury. I've seen a lot of hysteria along these lines, but I don't really get it. There was absolutely no shortage of professionalism from the same group of players under Clarke, and they were clearly very willing to embrace his methods, so it's a bit of a stretch to say that the resistance to Alessio is anything to do with that. And while the players didn't seem to get on with him, that didn't seem to transfer into performances on the park - they scrapped and battled for everything as they always have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never turned up for either. I was at the game at Almondvale, but I thought it was just a shit performance rather than a lack of effort. We lost there under Clarke in February under similar circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sortmeout Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 33 minutes ago, ancientnoise said: Quite a clear difference in both games IMO. In the 1-0 reverse we struck the woodwork a few times (twice in one shot if I recall!) and were essentially camped in their half. Just so I’m clear: Under Clarke we can lose a game and the players (a better squad than we have today) are ok. Under Alessio we lose a game and it’s all completely the players fault? And that is your defence of AA? It seems you are a bit muddled in your point. I personally thought AA did a good job after a disastrous start of course. I’ve heard all the the rumours about player discontent all season and it seems that people are assuming that’s the issue and piling onto the players. I think there has been some fallout between AA and the board (possibly starting with the Bruce incident) that has escalated into him having to leave. Nothing to base it on but that’s just my feeling. A lot of people lacking confidence in the board to get the new manager sorted out but I was thinking today that they’ve had a success rate of 1 in 5 (possibly 2 in 5 if you only take Allessios league position as a measure) and I’m not sure any team in the league other than Celtic have had many successful appointments either out of their last 5. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Can't make much sense of this at all. If there was a bust up between AA and Alex Bruce it should Bruce being punted, imo. Is Bruce pals with Dyer? Maybe Allesio felt best to walk away. As mooted maybe the board weren't backing his plans for January? Form hasn't been great but outwith the Clarke era probably better than any of the other incumbents over the last 5 or 6 years. Strange decision on the face of things... Unless he was dishing out panetonne as Christmas gifts... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The notion that this was the main reason for him being sacked is nonsense. It may be one of the contributing factors to him not getting on with the players, but it was far from the only one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 As with any Keith Jackson article, there will be a tiny kernel of truth surrounded by a whole host of bullshit. I absolutely believe there was a player "revolt" of some sort, but there was much more to it than he is suggesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entirely speculative, never proven, and downright shoddy journalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
