Sean Dyche

Isn't another issue here the one about public school kids? I read this article in the guardian yesterday and bamford alluded to that been an issue for him , almost as though he would be too soft.... Crazy when you think. Most rugby players , these days due to cut backs, are from private schools.

True, when asked why he wasn't getting a game he was told because his mam and dad came with him when he signed. So true "not a bad footballer". I don't think "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" is valid reason not to play someone though. Plainly you do.

I think this says more about the ginger tawt than it does about Bamford

I should have know to try and argue for a bit of objectivity on this board when discussing matters relating to Saint Patrick, "Neil" or Dyche would be too much to ask.

I give up honestly.

You think it's acceptable for a 23 year old to take his mam to work, I think it may just suggest that Dyche had a point about Bamford's attitude and suitability to fit into his squad.

We're not going to agree, and so I'm just off to ask my mam whether she's finished the report I've got to have to the MD by 5pm.

I think to compare football and a 'normal profession' is crackers, usual rules do not apply. I'd imagine in an office job the chances of having a hole cut in the crotch of your suit trousers whilst you take a shower or having someone curl a turd on your desk are fairly remote!

If he turned up to his first day of training with mam and dad then you may have a point but I doubt he did, I imagine it's his first visit for contract talks etc.

Also, just to pick up on your point about younger lads than him leaving home/friends. That is true but not everyone is the same, and for everyone well up for it there'll be others terrified and needing a bit of moral support. Doesn't make them a weakling or a bad person and I'm sure after the initial trepidation most will soon find their inner confidence and be ok. Also, the money issue you mentioned, 40k a week or whatever means nowt. Money isn't a substitute for having friends/family/support with you.

Dyche seems to have an attitude steeped in snobbery and macho bull**** , I would like to think this outdated thinking is dying from the game as we see more emotionally intelligent managers come through.

Do other people's parents not sacrifice things for them ? My parents both worked their arses off so I could go to university and leave without a mountain of debt, I didn't take them along to my first day at work to thank them for it.

I'm not even attempting to justify whether it's strange that he took them anymore (I think it's strange a 23 year old taking his parents to work, others don't).

I'm pointing out why Dyche could possibly have being coming from with his comments - perhaps Dyche agrees with me, and think's it strange?

So, it's ok for your parents to pay you through uni, but Paddy isn't allowed his dad (his agent) to go with him/ drop him off on his first day at a new club?
I wonder if your mate Dyche would approve of you being paid through uni? :ROFLMAO:

What is your stance on forces lads and lasses that take their parents with them to pass out, is that strange? Some of them don't pass out until a few years after they join, some of them are in their late 20's or 30's when they pass out. A lot of them then get dropped off at their first station by their parents too.
 
Nothing wrong with wanting his family there when he signed his pro forms. Same as the 100's of thousands of parents who go to Universities to see their children (who are in their 20's) graduate.

No not at all, it's perfectly normal to take your parents to your new job.

I know when I got my first graduate job in Edinburgh my parents came to my office on the first day, and sat at the end of my desk for the day.

Is it just me that finds this a tad bit odd? You took your parents to work? Was it show and tell?

This wasn't his pro forms, this was him signing on loan for his 8th club.

He took his parents when he signed not his first training session. How many folks are not getting that. His father was his agent and Mum went with them. There is many a manager would have welcomed their presence.

..and other managers thought it proved their point about him not being strong enough mentally.

So not only is Dyche a complete and utter kn0b, he doesn't do his research about a player's background and suitability for his squad before signing them - see also Gibson
 
Millbrook said:
you can't possibly know that as a fact. Give me one quote from another manager which shows that.

It's not a bleeding court of law, of course I don't know it as a fact.

I'm trying to point out why the board villan may have thought one of the boards poster boys wasn't mentally strong enough for his team.

Why was it his 8th club by the age of 23 if he's such a wonderful person and player - it can't all be down to that nasty Mr Dyche can it?
