I shop in Marks. I’m middle class.

Re: Rumours doing the rounds

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.

I think you're spot on with your last comment, he said elsewhere that the worst thing for these kids is to break into the team and then think they've made it, they've got to continually strive to improve just to remain at this level
probably very much informed by his own career

Re: Rumours doing the rounds

I'm not convinced by this, if it was the reason then they'd have probably said as much in the statement.
I think it was more to do with that we'd only won 1 in 7 or whatever it is

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.

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.

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.

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

Re: Rumours doing the rounds

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?

Re: Rumours doing the rounds

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.

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.

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?

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