Martin obviously has a connection with the club but im not sure he's a good enough manager to get a tune out of the players they have [Post edited 22 Apr 20:56]

Have to say I didn't expect this post to generate this number of replies.
I'm glad I'm not a kid growing up now and I think social media does as much enough not more harm than good for young minds. I'm also glad I dont have a child growing up, it's tough for youngsters.
To Tate, he is a grifter preying on young minds. I think Peterson is too in a more pseydo intellectual way.
I think it's important all men understand what it can be like for women of any age and indeed vice versa and I worry there is a real anger, particularly amongst men about life in general, about women, not understanding them, how to talk to them, frustration at a lack of girlfriends (remembering i didn't really have what I'd call a proper girlfriend until university and even then that cant be compared to the relationship I have now) about money, materialistic things that all these people, social media stars etc say you should have or even if they don't outright say it, perpetuate it by showing it off.
It is important that role models, Including, but not just limited too, sportsmen speak out much more on these issues. Men, esp young men can find it hard to open up. One of the things I truly love about this place is that you can always come here and do that and in doing so find genuine support. Whether they realise it or not, what Phil and Gav give us here is more than just a football forum, it's if sorts a support next work, a good one, one from which I have be benefited when I've struggled and am extremely thankful for.
What I think is this, those with kids should talk to them about these issued and that men and indeed women should speak up more about such issues BUT I think young men are much more inclined to listen to male role models and its really important that we push those role models to speak out more.
Any how, I shall email the club. I'm on holiday atm but once im back, will report back if I get any reply [Post edited 3 Apr 3:41]

Great to see some healthy discussion on this.
To some of the points raised I'd say the following.
1. Most of us looked up to more than just family members. My dad left when I was 3. My step dad was a hole, neither should be role models for anyone and many kids are in similar situations.
2. Agree it is important young lads hear and understand the impact from and on girls/women but if men don't speak up, that limits any message there.
3. I have seen a charity that does seem to partner with some clubs. I'm not sure what that involves but would be s good starting point..
4. This would just be a drop in the well, I recognise that. But there has to be a starting point. Of course it needs to be more than just footballers, many more people but esp men need to be speaking up against the snake oil that is Tate etc.
5. Id lump Peterson in, just my opinion..
Lastly, does anyone have a suggestion as to best to email at rhe club to try and get the ball rolling? |

Serious post.
I see the rise of Tate and Peterson and the impact they are having on young men and what masculinity looks like and it scares me, this is before I even watch adolescence.
One of the things that I'm conscious of is that there are very few male role models who counter the things that they say and fewer still that will appeal to young lads of today, Louis Threoux for example, a great advocate but how many 14, 15 year old lads know who is he is, let alone listen to him?
I think about who I looked up to as a teenager and who current teenagers might listen too and I keep comming back to footballers.
I see very little on this from clubs, filled with male role models and I feel that they would be a great staring point for trying to redress some of the bile that is spewed by such people.
This might sound pie in the sky but I think there had ro be a beginning, and I think with our club, the community and the work that goes into that, it would seem as good a place as any. Maybe I'm old and out of touch (well i am) but if I was a teenage lad and Liam Delap, Omari or someone was on socials and other places speaking about how wrong this view is id take notice.
I'm inclined to email the club and ask them if they can do some messaging around the subject, partner with suitable charities and maybe from there more would follow.
Anyone have any idea who is best to email?
I appreciate I might be on a wild goose chase here but from those I know in teaching or similar roles working with young lads I really feel that is becoming more and more or anything issue with not enough push back on the narrative from those that might be listened to.
Any suggestions as to anyone I can try contacting at the club are much appreciated.
Thanks all |

SSN think this passes for analysis? Can anyone explain to me how?
Hasn't Tuchel said he wants a tournament to tournament contract?
Didn't Southgate gets us to 2 finals and a semi final, suggesting we need just a little bit more? Better tactical nouse and and a willingness to be slightly smarter with team selections and subs would have won us one of those tournaments.
Where is the analysis?

I waw just going to stick with the Liverpool one from the opening day but that print of the cobbold in all it's glory is too good to pass up. I could have easily bought every one really but Mrs B and T probably doesnt want the whole house decked out..... she won't know about this one until it appears on a wall |

I just don't see it, they might get a wrap but not one that will send them down. City will litigate for years, it's not worth the cost or hassle to the powers that be.
I'd love it to happen but just don't belive it will |

KMC has to be 4th and of he keeps us up this year absolutely 3rd. Given what he did last year with a squad assembled in L1 there is a strong argument he could be 3rd now given what he has achieved from a lower starting point in a shorter amount of time.
Big Jim vs Big Mick is an interesting one. Jim probably had more backing finnancialy and inherited a good squad from Joe Royle, we played better football under him and i really feel he deserved 1 more season when he was sacked. Mick on the other hand played mostly turgid football but kept us competitive on a shoe string. I think it's coi flip.
Cook, didn't get long, cleared a lot of dead wood, defoe above Keane, Lamberk etc.
Dark Lord will always be the worst for me. Binning of a good right back and brining in Dara O'Dea on loan was criminal, he was backed pretty well and wasted most of it. Hurst who'd I have 2nd worse, whilst well out of his depth was trying to shock the club out of a malaise that had clouded it for years. [Post edited 19 Feb 12:19]

1. Jack Mariott is part of their squad, which I'd thr main point of this post TBH. Mrs B&T found my excitement over this mildly amusing.
2. Phil Parkinson seems a nice chap. Was stopped by the table next to us as they were all on their way for their eve meal and had a good chat despite the bloke not being a Wrexham fan. Then took the time to go round the room seeking out what clearly were wrexham fans.
3. A fair number of the squad orders the fish and chips. This struck me as not v modern footballer
4. Squad all seem v polite etc. V quiet, lots of looking at ipads doing what I assume is game prep.
Not very exciting I know. Good to see Jack though |

I think that illustrates just how tough the market is atm and we should cut the club some slack on not being able to bring someone else in for the role |
