Hurst interview 11:38 - Jul 17 with 2992 views | wrightsrightglove | Very clever in my opinion; it does several things all in one hit: - Makes sure that Evans is aware that he needs to get the necessary players in and makes the fans aware of this requirement, putting further pressure on Evans to get it done. - Tells the senior players to up their game after a poor performance, keeps them on their toes and lets them know that he's not messing around. - Applies a bit of pressure to the young players to remind them that they've not made it yet and things can quite easily change for them if they don't apply themselves. - Really shows everyone that this is his team now, reinforces his expectations and shows that he's not taking prisoners. | | | | |

Not sure that Sir Bobby stirred things from the start because team wise the bulk of the team that started his first full season in 1969/70 was the same as the one that finished the promotion season of 1967/68. It was only when his authority got challenged by Tommy Carroll and Billy Baxter that he really stamped his mark on the club but he had been here two years by then. He did bring in Jimmy Robertson and Frank Clarke in the back end of 1969/70 to be instrumental in keeping us up but there were no major changes "from the start". | | | |

Hurst interview on 17:38 - Jul 17 with 2290 views | sparks | Agreed. Reminding a few that they need to press on and improve, rather than resting on laurels is important. High risk strategy for a manager who has not played at a high level himself though... Very easy for players to go one way or another- either show him to be wrong (great) or take a strop and say "You never really succeeded at this level- who are you to cricitise me". Arguably the latter shows an attitude we can do without but clearly a risk. | |

Apart from the fact he's played at this level before against us, had a 15 year playing career where he made himself a legend at a club which is far more than a fair proportion of the squad, of course. | |

He played most of his career lower down. had a few seasons at this level. He was hardly a star. I have no idea why you wish to nitpick- its not a criticism of anyone, just an observation of human nature. | |

I get your point but I think it's a bit of a dated notion - I doubt many footballers care nowadays about what their manager did as a player - with the exception of Guardiola and Zidane most of the top level coaches weren't anywhere near the ability of their players. Very interested to see how Sarri gets on for example. | |
