Basic People Management Skills

[robbieh]

Just when I was getting all warm and fluffy about how the team is coming together, I read this:

On Thursday Given was left out of a match in the Europa League although he had thought he would start: “I thought I’d have played but I don’t know what the manager’s thinking because he hasn’t told me,” he said.

I despair, I really do. That is basic and simple people management.

Talk to the fucking players, let them know where they fit in and keep them motivated. If they're not first choice, let them know that if they work they will get a chance.

It's not difficult. If you're too aloof to do it, get one of your staff to do it. There must be someone on our staff who's job it is to liaise with the players.

I worry deeply about this message which we've heard time after time now.

great post and bang on the money, for all his success our bob is shit with people.that's fine and dandy but he's actually done fuck all here since the day he walked through the doors.he will be tolerated but only if he's being successful.

Sorry but there are opinions and then there is this.<br /><br />-- Mon Sep 20, 2010 8:24 pm --<br /><br />

To be honest the more of the interview i see, the more of a small time tit Given is becoming.
As been stated a 1000 times on here, he was fine and dandy in the summer telling everyone how important the squad was, he was given the chance to leave and now he is reduced to petty swipes about Mancini's English.

Ask Given to speak the language of football and throw his medals on the table, then do the same with Mancini. I know who i listen to.

In fairness, he seems to be a poor communicator with the likes of Robinho, Bellamy, Given and Adebayor.

Two down, two to go.

lol, all the players you mentioned should be in our side, maybe shay is marginely behind joe, the rest are better than the players we put out at wigan and for that matter blackburn. bob is picking his mates, not the best 11, a very dangerous game if you ask me.

can this guy actually "manage" a team of men far more important and earning far more than himself?

Other than the Italian championship three times including Ibrahimovic? Are you sure you are following football?

Interesting point Wigan, it seems his team without 3 of his mates and 3 playing beat Wigan away, something no one else has done. Yep he dropped a point at Sunderland but has picked a point up at Tottenham. Yep he dropped another point at home to Blackburn, but gained 2 against Liverpool. So he is up on last seasons like for like.

As Robinho didn't want to play for us and a problem Hughes couldn't handle, he is better off where he is. Out of the club.

Bellamy better than AJ or Silva?
Adebayor better than the striker who played, Tevez?
You have admitted Given.

It seems to me, using your theory, Mancini's mates are better than Hughes' mates.

Carry on Bob!!

If you are still pining for Robinho after a professional win away at a bogey ground on a pitch and in weather conditions where he wouldn't have wanted to fucking know and would have gone missing (again) then I fear you're looking for something to moan about.

I can't keep up with your stance on Mancini anyway, you change with the weather.

apart from blackpool 4-0 & chelsea 6-0.

apart from blackpool 4-0 & chelsea 6-0. in fact wigan have lost every home game so far this season with 0 goals scored & 12 conceded.

Blackpool and Chelsea fan too are you?

I am clearly talking about City and comparing this manager with previous City ones.

ok, i'll try this.
if managed properly would bellamy and robinio improve our squad?
also is ade better than jo?
see, no brainer.

bob is picking his mates, shit ones at that.
you give shay a game in the cups ffs, if joe gets injured or sent off shay is then sharp and ready, its fucking common sense. oh but no, shay has spoke his mind so thats him done for.

only city could ruin nailed on success.
