Were there any complaints about Morison's behaviour when he was coach of the Under-23s? It seems strange that he would only develop this attitude towards young players once he became manager.

Morison pulled up on his behaviour towards the younger players and that’s what led to his downfall.
Being that abrasive then that clearly not going to help your cause when the results start to go against you.
No room for bullying in the workplace in 2022 I am afraid, regardless of the industry. It’s not the 1970s you can’t abuse young people and get away with it.
As you were.

Hearing he had one of our young professionals in tears after the West Brom game.
Sad if that's the case. The world has moved on and bellowing at youngsters/apprentices in the workplace just isn't tolerated anymore.
The signs were there and we were shouted down. Tough love supposedly. F*ck him. I'd watch him stood in front of me in the Technical Area and the guy was frozen with pressure a lot of the time. You could sense it. See it even at times. You could certainly tell it was too much and so I'm not one of those who is surprised to hear these things about him.
If bullying was the reason for his swift departure that rules Bellamy out then 🤔
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
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
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.
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?
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.
