Rupert - some Management Examples for you to Ponder....

[Channon's Sideburns]

So herein lies Rupert's first lesson in football management. Bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted, but here goes...

 

Dear Rupey,

 

We all appreciate the lovely idyllic view you have on how we will gain footballing success. However, it has been proven over many years and decades that unless you are Man U, and in the top division with loads of money in the bank....

 

'You won't win anything with Kids'

 

However, please do not misconstrue (thought you'd like that word) my observation, you can win things however with the right blend of youthful exuberance and wily experience.

 

Let me make the point blindingly obvious to you by quoting examples.....

 

Steve Moran (you probably won't know him as he was prior to 1997 but ask Duncan) - was an exceptional young forward - an 80's DMcG if you like (he wishes).

 

SM was at his best, when he played alongside, Mike Channon and Frank Worthington.

 

Mike Channon, played very well alongside Big Ron Davies, as did young Martin Chivers.

 

Steve Williams (from the 70's and 80's - remember that Rupey, all braces and poncy attitude?) - blossomed playing alongside the much missed Alan Ball.

 

Tim Flowers - blossomed under the guidance of old hands like Peter Shilton and John Burridge.

 

And outside of Saints.....WAYNE ROONEY.

 

What did David Moyes do when an emerging WR came blasting onto the footy stage at age 16?????

 

He played him alongside Duncan Ferguson.

 

You see Rupey Baby, it's simple. If you want to bring these young players, such as your main man McGoldrick, he needs players like Stern John alongside him.

 

Or - DEAN WINDASS - Yes I know he could be Dave's Dad, but you get my point.

 

Oh sorry, you don't get mine or anyone's point.

 

A FOOL WALKS AROUND WITH HIS EYES AND EARS CLOSED.

 

Best wishes, hope you go soon.

 

Yours in amateur advice (thought I'd drop to your level)

Why don't you send him your dinlo letter instead of pretending to send a dinlo letter to a man via a public forum. It is all a bit cringy really. I feel embarrassed for you.

No worries Johnny, it's embarrassing enough to be a Saints Fan at the moment anyway, I think I can handle it.

 

Are you telling me that Rupey can read????

 

Blimey, I thought Scooby and Sundance read to him.

 

Ah well, every day's a school day eh?
