Rumours doing the rounds

[Hometown Unicorn!]

Colwill, Etete and Harris all came on as subs at West Brom. As for the under 23s, I was struck in Morison’s interviews on the club site by how he’d have a bit of a dig at someone when he was asked about how well they’d played. There were a couple of times Isaak Davies had scored two when he carried on about how he should have scored a hat trick - nothing too terrible, but it was as if he felt he had to keep the youngsters feet on the ground.

There was also a needless comment about Colwill not being able to head the ball that he made in one interview.

Again quite spitefull and pointless, fine if it is a senior pro but digging out youngsters who are just starting out in the game is pretty low.

he's also said a number of very positive things about Colwill, said he's very talented, and the world's his oyster.
he's like 6'4 and not good in the air, it's quite legitimate for a manager to mention that without it being spiteful

Yes I agree.....they need to be constantly reminded that they have not yet 'made it'. Colwill IS hopeless sin the air (along with other aspects). I always found SM comments straightforward and to the point.... as for making a footballer cry - goodness me.......what wimps.
BAD decision to remove him.

Have you ever had the shit ripped out of you in front of 20 other men? In a Professional capacity?

[Ninja]

If bullying was the reason for his swift departure that rules Bellamy out then 🤔

Jody Morris is still being heavily linked, that's a concern. He was more than just a bit of a lad himself.

[blue lewj]

A fair few rumours flying round.

He was pulled up for bullying and the other rumour of he made somebody cry after a very good point at West Brom away.

[Jordi Culé]

Morison was consistent, he acted the absolute dick with the youngsters within the informal team setting too.

Whether he thought he needed to keep them grounded or he's just an utter tool it may have come to bite him and his ego on the arrse?

[The Bloop]

Maybe there is something in these rumours and the club acted quickly as they didn't want a repeat of the allegations surrounding Bellamy a few years ago.

If there is any substance to the rumour and Morison was too dull to see what happened previously to Bellamy, then he's more of an ego and more rwp than I thought?

on the other hand it could all.be a load of shite and he was sacked because we keep losing games

Very true. In the good old days, the player would've stuck his head straight through him and ruined his career.

True, although league position wise, City are where many had thought they'd be and even City's trio of incompetent, footballing dullards were surely going to give him longer than 11 games to implement 'his' system?

Who really knows? Morison shouldn't have had the job but it's a strange decision (for me) to bin him now.

Perhaps Tan's mother advised him?

[Eric Cartman]

VT can't handle being the only deluded bully at the club.

[UNDERHILL1927]

Cor blimey, you couldn't make it up could you guv’nor. Well actually, yes you could. I have never read such a load of fabricated old tosh in all my life. The thread should be renamed ‘how to anonymously assassinate the character of someone who hasn't got the right to reply, with supposition, innuendo and fabrication whilst hiding behind a keyboard’.

Amen

[J R Hartley]

Amen

LOL, Says the man whos been throwing stones at Tan for 10 years. Double standards much.

[goats]

It really doesn’t matter who takes over these days…..

[Pedro de la Rosa]

You are grown man - even at 19-20...you deal with it. Life will provide greater challenges than that.

I’ll come to your office and shout at you, and see how you like it. If someone did that to me, I’d look for a new job immediately

And in front of your work colleagues.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

And in front of your work colleagues.

The problems with work colleagues is that they reverse back and erode away.

Yeah, with you. They're all your mate until the shit hits the fan.

Look...I am retired...but in my life I HAVE experienced that - did I wince and complain and take it further?? NO...I got on with life and made sure the bollockiing never happened again...

Some people will allow others to talk to them like shit and some won't stand for it

No....it is not a question of that....it is of learning in life. I did not do too badly in life afterwards, ending up as Director of a major software company in London.

Hold on

I have worked for software companies all my career and currently work for one of the biggest.

The behaviour that you are referring to would not have been tolerated for a one millisecond in any of those companies, over more than 30 years.

(And I should be approaching retirement age…. )

Well done hard man. It's not acceptable in any work place, football is no different

If what JR is saying is true (in fairness he's calling Morison's behaviour out since he was appointed) then thank **** he's gone. Not only was his football shit, he was a massive bully with an inflated ego. Still cringe thinking about his press conferences.
