Ireland isnt the first player to come out and say these things about RM...tevez, bellay and ned all have said the same thing. Now that is worrying as it leads me to believe that it is actaully true and that RM doesnt have any type of relationship with players. Compare this to ferguson, wenger, etc who old players, ex players etc have said that they have had great working relatinships with players...not to mention redknapp.
I dont blame Ireland one bit for coming out and saying what he has, its clearly the truth as others have said it as well
RM needs to sort this out if we are going to build a team. Its not suprising that some of the players at times dont look like they want to fully play for him...even tevez whose attitude on the pitch is unquestionable seems to have a very frosty relationship with RM and that is even more worrying, cause if players feel this way, offers from other clubs could tempt them
Ireland is clearly gutted about leaving city and i dont blame him at all
If these commetns had been directed about MH a year ago this board would have been full of people demanding change.
I also feel on a footbaling basis that RM has made a hyuge mistake in letting ireland go. We now lack real creativity in central positions.
NO person is bigger than the club...not even the manager and maybe RM needs to "sort his head out" and start to develop relationships with the players for the sake of the club/team. He needs to change the way he does things as well for the sake of the club
