Agree with this statement
Totally agree, I don't think Stubbins can pull it off either.
But I can understand why he's trying it.
Plague nearly all your points made are completely redundant when you are comparing the workings of Managers at the elite levels who actually have strong clubs around them and an ability to make decisions and back them up with results.
We on the other hand have Monty Burns not paying the bills a Muppet with 3 wins to his name and a shambles of a club
Like comparing the works of Da Vinci and Monet with a 4year old retarded pre schooler FFS
Oh I'm sorry do we play with 13 blokes on the field in Australia? Or bigger goals? Or the aim is to not win games or the league?
Ok I'll go over it slowly for you blokes who can't read:
1. I think Stubbins is from an era of coaches (stereotypically old white Anglo blokes) who go down the 'blood and Thunder do or die for the shirt" cliche fest that seemed to go out of favour around the time the dinosaurs left this earth.
2. I personally don't think that type of man management works any more, but what I am saying is that there has been a time and place where that style worked and he's trying to copy it.
3. to say he shouldn't mould himself on an EPL coach is stupid because then you are also saying he shouldn't learn anything from the other successful coaches ive already mentioned because our club isn't run like Barca or the San Antonio Spurs.
4. He's got to get his inspiration from somewhere, and he's trying to copy someone who had success.
How hard is it to comprehend that?
FFS Plague.
I can't believe a man of your intelligence wasted that much typing to reply to my post in that much detail
Don't flatter yourself.FFS Plague.
I can't believe a man of your intelligence wasted that much typing to reply to my post in that much detail
There's a few on here having trouble reading.
You are just batting practice.
So what ended up happening with that mid season club review? Or did that get swept under the carpet?
Middleby Gone
Lawrie Out
Wasn't that Middleby buying himself some time??
Now you've gone off on a completely different tangent to the original point I was trying to make.
Nothing worse when trying to have a debate with someone who "knows it all"!!!
In other words Stubbins is basically just a "try hard"?
Didn't old Bridgey have some "input" in that club review???
sorry cuz, you seem to have me confused with the good Member over there.
Ta though.
We should get Captain Obvious to do it.
Don't drag me into it cause Stopper got your number Plague
oooh we had it......Muppet consulted himself and sacked 5 players and 3 coaches.......
Dare to Zlatan

Now explain to me why we are training for another 2 weeks??SERBIAN midfielder Enver Alivodic is expected to sign a new two-year deal with the Newcastle Jets while up to eight other players will learn their fate on Tuesday.
Alivodic joined the Jets in February on a short-term contract and has impressed with two goals in nine games.
The 30-year-old's influence has grown as his fitness has improved, providing penetration and a class down the right wing.
His signature, which could be as early as Tuesday, will fill the second of five visa spots available.
Korean left back Lee Ki-je put pen two paper on a two-year extension this month.
Striker Edson Montano is the other import on the Jets roster after the mid-season departure of Jonny Steele, Marcos Flores, and Jeronimo Neumann. Steele was granted leave after round three before being released in January.
Montano, 23, who scored three goals in the final three games to finish with six, is on loan from Ecuadorean club Barcelona which makes his situation more complex than the others off contract.
Apart from the overseas players, the future of Taylor Regan, Sam Gallagher, James Virgili, Allan Welsh, Travis Cooper, Max Burgess and John Solari are unclear.
Nick Cowburn, who was promoted from the youth team and made eight appearances in the A-League late in the season, is also hoping to secure a senior contract.

The future of loaned-out keeper Mark Birighitti, who finally made his debut for Serie B cellar dwellers Varese in 1-0 loss to Vinceza on Sunday, is also to be determined.
The off-contract players will meet individually with coach Phil Stubbins from Tuesday.
Regan, who started in 16 games and captained the side in three, was named members' player of the year at the club's awards ceremony on Sunday.
The 26-year-old has been in talks with the club but the addition of former Sydney defender Themba Muata-Marlow (Sydney FC), whose contract is expected to be confirmed on Wednesday, could squeeze him out.
It is a similar situation with fellow local product James Virgili, who has not played since breaking his ankle in January.
Western Sydney Wanderers have shown an interest in both.
The Asian champions and Melbourne City have also had preliminary talks with Cowburn's manager.
After collecting the wooden spoon, Stubbins said "there is opportunity to bring in fresh blood and that will happen".
Muata-Marlow aside, the majority of additions are expected to be in the front third.
Hobart-born South Melbourne striker Andy Brennan is understood to have agreed to terms. The Jets are also believed to be keen on Perth frontman Jamie Maclaren, who is in the sights of Melbourne Victory.
The Jets will continue to train until May 15.
They start pre-season on June 22.
Surely as nearly half our squad for next year is not here yet or signed for that matter surely the extra 2 weeks could be used then in pre season to work on structures etc for next season rather than work with a dozen blokes who ain't gonna be here next season.
Surely also the squad breaking up for a couple of weeks would actually give everyone a chance to clear their heads and get in a better frame of mind
Not exactly ****ing intelligent stuff from Jets HQ but then again no surprise
Nice article by David Lowe in the Herald today. Pretty blunt assessment
I'd say give the off contract players 2 weeks of full contact training to prove that they deserve to be back next year, no excuses about needing to rest up for the weekend. Plus get them back in for pre season at the start of June. We need longer than everyone else to learn how to play football again.
Agreed, but do we have someone who can teach them?
I expect an announcement to come out today regarding players not being retained, reading into what the Herald are saying. It's like redundancy day at work.
