Can't see anyone giving Dunne anything but a good round of applause. Barry on the other hand....might be in for it.

Some excellent observations on Man Management Mr Rich concerning Dunne.Definetly worth taking on board.Mr Rich said:I see your point of view, and agree with you in the fact that he was a winner on the field, with his attitude, but he did not have the mentality to drive that forward when off the pitch, he doesn't have that cockness and swagger you need to portray to be at the top of the game, he is too much of a straight guy for that. Dunne sees the football match as a game, not an oppurtunity to strive for further things, and the seriousness that is needed to be at the top and respected among the best. Similar to Nedum, he's smart enough to know 'I want to win' but not too much of a dick (pardon my French) too step on anyone or anything that gets in his way. Once these people get to the top (captain), it slows down the progress of the team if they are not a good enough to carry through with their responsibility Dunne was good enough for the previous teams, which required much less responsibility and pressure, (just to point out I'd think Nedum would be a great captain but whether that respect would be there from other players remains to be seen). Also in my opinion Dunne was not a good captain because he never really rallied the troop or knew the game beyond his responsibilities, notice how Toure will pat those on the back and shout much more.jamiegrimble said:I agree with most everything you say Mr Rich,but for one point.I believe Dunne is a winner.You could see by the way he organized the back four,and put his body on the line in crunching tackles for the cause,that cant be faked.I believe the City playing staff he inherited as captain werent winners.He was a few years premature for the blues time scale,both personally and in the scheme of things.
