the comments by Keane after watching his new team win 3-0 away to Cardiff: "If my players give 100% and do exactly what I tell them I will support them all the way. If not, it will be a very short relationship."
Isn't that precisely the quality we need in a manager? But we are between a rock and a hard place. It seems the board does not want a strong character who they can't control; but will a "yes man" be able to control the players?
Scott mentioned in another post how Gareth Ainsworth basically admitted he can't tell the players what to do - well who on earth can then?
If only we had a manager who could. It almost makes you wonder if we shouldn't have just stuck with Iain Dowie. I'm not his greatest fan and he certainly lacked flair but at least he seemed professional and capable of demanding respect from his players.
BTW, the board can organise ten more end of season parties or getting to know you days, forcing the players to stay for a certain amount of hours but it won't fundamentally change the attitude of certain - not all - certain mediocre mercenary players.
