CONFIRMED Chris Morgan to work with Danny Wilson

[S60 unitedite]

The u18 and u21 teams are meant to allow progression from youth levels to first team. It's a vital conduit. You think we should ignore technique and simply school them in upanatem?

Good Pele, the madness is truly amongst us....

Everything I have read and heard if you haven't got the technique by the 18-21 stage you won't be at an academy.
I think those years are about getting players mentally and physically ready for the first team if possible x

 

[SandyMcBlade]

Pinchy speak with straight tongue. No team will ever turn up at the world cup and play hoof, for example.

It is a failed philosophy that can be effective when there is little ability on display, so work rate and physicality can temporarily gain an advantage. This must not be confused with progress, but luckily all good sides know this.

You can tell which ones they are because they win things.

Funny how it always seems to be the clubs with the most money though ........

 

[spongebobblade]

Indeed. I'm sorry for you though if your "own" is "Nowt Fancy - like Bassett". It's certainly Morgan's "own" and the vast majority of sensible progress clubs will want nothing to do with such embarrassing nonsense. Quite right too. I certainly don't want any such ideas at our club. Let me make it clear. It's not merely that I'm glad he's moved on; I would never have appointed him in the first place and would have sacked him long before now. If that upsets all the Bladey Blades, I'll have to live with it. Personally, I support Sheffield United, not Dinosaur Dave or Muckanettles Morgan. If I think our club is better off without Morgan, I'll say so. I do.

Why be sorry for me as if I'm living in the past? If he had nothing to offer why would Danny take him? Because they're good mates? And yes, you've said many times that you think we are better off without him. Good for you. Some don't agree so the sooner you can except other people have differing opinions and your not necessarily right (who knows what will happen) the sooner we can move on

 

[raul]

Oh dear, the S2 natives are restless at the thought of losing old Muckanettles. Unsurprisingly, being the least sophisticated and most parochial fans in the world, they clearly share his "Nowt Fancy - Like Bassett" philosophy. So much so that, again entirely predictably, the call goes out for another Bassett man, Brian Deane. Quite what claim he has to coaching our u21s I can't imagine but he's called Deano so that will do, never mind that his only coaching experience is in Norway, the Heartland of Hoof.

I did think of suggesting a few candidates who were not Bladey Blades but, knowing the vast majority of our fans will simply not be able to compute such a notion, I suggest the legendary music hall comedy duo of Monty and Koz.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts as a player Chris, but I'm absolutely delighted you're leaving. You were appointed as a cost-cutting measure, not because of any coaching ability. Your departure is both welcome and long overdue.

"Nowt Fancy - Like Bassett". Good luck with that in the 20th Century....

I've missed this.

I do hope people will read what you say with great care. It is full of sound common sense, especially your last paragraph which, in truth, says all that needs to be said in a nutshell and exposes the parochial S2 thinking for the outdated nonsense that it undoubtedly is.

Anyway, the important thing is that you, not I, have said it. You might just succeed where I (because I am me) have failed and make them actually think.

Bravo. Please have all my likes, my wife, dog and favourite 5 Wood.

My sympathy for you was contingent on an "if" mate. I don't know whether you, like Morgan, think Bassett style has any relevance to football today. On the answer to that rests my concern for your welfare....

 

[Barney]

I've just seen Pinchy. I caught a glimpse as he began to realise he could talk about footballing philosophies.

 

[Pinchy]

I've missed this.

I know you have mate. You are the sole reason for my return....

Nah, my tits are bigger than that....

You do seem to have fallen for Pinchy's straw man. Nobody is calling for Hoof. He makes this argument with himself. Have a trawl around and you'll see this.

[SB_90]

I'm tempted, but....no....it would be shooting fish in a barrel, wouldn't it?...

Come on you cant just leave it like that. Tell me why. It worked for Dalglish at Liverpool twice, garry monk at Swansea & pep guardiola at barca who came from player straight to manager

This guy was a brilliant leader & over the 12 yrs always been there when youve need him. Never shirked responsibility & team would never lack fight

 

[SWB]

Pious preaching mate. You're entitled to your opinion but it's not gospel simply because you say it.

He won't have his day as a manager anytime soon. Some lower league club would have offered him a job by now were that the case.

He isn't a talented coach. He was appointed to save money. His "Nowt Fancy - Like Bassett" philosophy is that of a dinosaur. It has no place in modern football (S2 excepted of course) and hasn't for decades. It is an acutely embarrassing statement and I hope it helped the board to realise that old Muckanettles has no place in a progressive coaching team committed to playing the game in the right way. "Like Bassett" could not be further away from that aim.

Morgan stumbled into coaching. He has torn up not a single tree. If he had, it would have been noticed at lesser clubs looking for a manager of promise. He has none. He is a relic of a past from which we desperately need to move on. His departure is as welcome as it is overdue.

Now let's avoid the "Deano" nonsense and let NA bring in his own choice, not steeped in Bladey Bladeness but rather in good football.

Thank you for your efforts as a player, Chris. You were a limited but wholehearted defender and a good leader. Coach or Manager you are not, as time will assuredly tell. No amount of sanctimonious bleating will imbue you with ability you haven't got. I wish you no harm but you were perfectly well rewarded for your service to our club, including a coaching appointment you didn't earn. I'm delighted you're leaving.

Tell us once more please Sick of reading it !!!!!!!
get over yer sen

You two should get together for an exchange of barely literate, Bladey drivel.

Nowt Fancy - Like Bassett.

How did Weir get on with your style?

 

[Large Mendonca]

It does make funny reading all this, but come on.....Hoof v Pele ? Back or White ? really ??? football can only ever be one or the other ??? it very rarely is.

 

[Bergen Blade]

Why? Nobody, absolutely nobody, would be suggesting him if he hadn't played for us previously.

Utter parochial Bladey claptrap.

Rubbish, he's hugely overqualified for being our U21 coach. Your assumption that he'd instruct our young players to "hoof it" again proves your ignorance and prejudice.

I'd be happy to let Adkins bring someone else in if he thinks there are better options though.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Good luck Mr Morgs. Hopefully will go onto a decent managerial career

 

[blade too long]

I just remember us in the prem and Morgs frightening the life out of Van Persie when we beat Arsenal
Was he cultured ,hell no , but teams needed minders like this to survive and who better to instruct people on the finer points of controlled thuggery
Weve seen McEVERLEY dish out some love recently ,after an obvious lesson from Morgs

 

[Hunkerby]

Rubbish, he's hugely overqualified for being our U21 coach. Your assumption that he'd instruct our young players to "hoof it" again proves your ignorance and prejudice.

I managed to dig out an article on our Brian and his football philosophy.
No mention of hoof anywhere in this.

“We have inherited a philosophy here of playing very good football through the thirds, something the club is renowned for. I reviewed a lot of last season’s games and I have worked on increasing the tempo, because we are going to need to do that. The fitness and discipline are going to be key. Sometimes it is just about being a little bit more professional.”

With these incremental changes across the piece, increasing the intensity and sharpness, focusing on maintaining possession in small areas, Brian is confident that the club can start to make great strides.

It may not be at Premier League level, but the standard of football is good and when the opportunities are not there for young ambitious managers in the football league, you have to be creative in your thinking.

[Caveblade]

OK Morgs first and foremost was a stopper he is doing all his badgers so must have serious ambitions to be a top coach.




Pinchy is going have a field day, not only is old muckandnettles a footballing dinasour, he is a sexual deviant with a collection of Badgers! Now that would make the headlines. Think you meant badges.

 

[Pinchy]

Good luck Mr Morgs. Hopefully will go onto a decent managerial career

Do you agree with his clearly expressed managerial philosophy?

Old Nowt-Fancy will be very lucky to get a job, never mind have a decent career. Football is better off without Bassett-inspired numpties, thank you very much

Let's remember that only one manager has ever appointed him as a coach, and then for reasons of economy, not merit. Perhaps Chesterfield are hard up?

Have you dug out any articles on other Norwegian coaches?...

Anyone can talk a good game. In Norway they hoof it.

So Danny Wilson appointed Morgan because he was cheap?
......FFS

Is this not a 'clearly expressed managerial philosophy' as per your previous post?

 

[Bergen Blade]

Who does?

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

In Norway they hoof it.

What does this mean:

In Norway there is a team that hoofs it?
In Norway a lot of teams hoof it?
In Norway most teams hoof it?
In Norway the prevailing philosophy is hoof?
Other (please explain)

Also: sources?

And also innocently musing whether the statement is negative stereotyping and therefore, topically, qualifies as racist.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

Come on you cant just leave it like that. Tell me why. It worked for Dalglish at Liverpool twice, garry monk at Swansea & pep guardiola at barca who came from player straight to manager

You could add George Graham - Arsenal - 2 League Titles, 2 league Cups, 1 FA Cup, 1 Cup Winners Cup. Saved a club that had won very little since 1971.Created the defence which lasted a decade and Bob Paisley - Liverpool - 6 League titles, 3 League cups, 3 European Cups, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup

I don't care about his straw man but I am interested in the 5 wood. Does he have the matching 7 do you know?

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Morgs is a top man and a Blades legend. All the best to him.

Dead on Unitedite the formative years for technical ability is between 8 and 18 after that it's all about harnessing that ability to experience and mental strength .That's not to say players can t improve there technic beyond that age but if you havn't got good technic by 18 you never will.You could say late developers contradict all that but it is usually down to maturity both physical and mentally (they are not always in tune) ,could name plenty over the years!!.
