This mornings news that Leicester City have won the EPL after being 5000-1 shots at the beginning of the season and with a salary that is between 10% and 50% of the biggest teams shows that money alone cannot win a comp.
Being the biggest club, or the most financial or having the latest training equipment means jack unless the players are committed and believe that what they are putting their bodies through will achieve the success that they desire.
Their coach has the nickname of "the tinkerman" due to his ongoing and constant search for the best game plan, player combination and approach to win games. Very clearly it has worked, the structured teams and coaches have been unable to stop them.
Our players are not committed and for mine do not believe in the direction being taken by our coaching staff. If every game serves a purpose and is part of the long term plan to win in October then our games must serve that purpose. Currently our games are like a mixed lolly bag - you never know what you get so either the plan is wrong/stuffed/not understood or the players are not committed at all. Or both.
The elected guardians of the club and the employed managers of our club have to take action and take it fast. Money will not fix our issues - commitment will. Why employ a "mind coach"? surely based on results and effort this employee must be accountable for the lack of commitment. If not him, then the coach with infinite resources but cannot deliver a consistent, future focused game plan must be accountable. If not him, then the board must be accountable. I have deliberately left the CEO our because I cannot see where any value is added to our premiership goal is added by her actions - I see her role more of a marketing manager than a CEO.
Des, Ray, Give the boys a reason to believe, show them the way, be man enough to admit openly that what you are doing is not working and me as a single fan will cut you some slack. If you cannot change or make changes then you are not part of the solution so move on.
Well done Leicester City for showing what can be achieved.
