When you have a manager who endorses the club captain going into an offy with £100 to buy a load of cans, or celebrates 3 pts by getting bladdered and singing on tables with fans, it doesn’t set a high standard of professionalism for developing players does it ?

None of those things break laws.
As an adult, that part is YOUR responsibility.
Blaming your football manager for being OPL whilst driving is crazy.

We were the most professional, hardworking overachievers during loads of this, the standard seemed pretty high to me.

And what happened when the miles built up and players picked up injuries? How was our squad availability post 2019?

We fell off back to the normal level the players could perform at, and we picked up lots of injuries. Was that due to alcohol, is it something that only kicks in after three or four seasons?

Ironically, the £100 at the offy was hailed as the catalyst for our rise, and everyone loved it at the time. Would have been ridiculous to argue that it was something that held us back at the time.

I’d argue that there are probably ways to motivate teams without compromising their long term careers or recoveries.

It’s not like it’s an isolated story of excess is it? if it was an outlier or an end of season celebration then fair play. What’s reasonably obvious given the amount of times players and staff have been seen off their faces or in court is that we have a culture of low player responsibility or professionalism.

We have a whole squad of players that can’t finish 90 mins. As professional footballers. Just give that a think for a second.

Yet other teams couldn't manage them as we stormed through the leagues on a relatively small budget with less talented players. It worked better than anything I've seen in my lifetime, the players seemed to enjoy it as well as it brought them success they couldn't have dreamed of.

Exactly, it wasn't isolated, yet it clearly didn't hinder our fitness during all that time. You're jumping on it now because we are back to operating at about par for our budget/player quality.

Genuinely don't know if our players have been in court more than those in other teams, I'd guess very few fans of other clubs know about Mousset crashing his car.

CBA to look up how many 90s Peck finished last season, but I imagine it was a fair few

Going on recently events then yeah, Peck probably did more 90's than most if not all........

Agree with the stop at the offy.
Everyone thought it was a masterstroke at the time .
Can't believe people are using it against wilder/ the cub .
Poor in my opinion

 

[nickwr37]

Someone needs to tell them they can get drunk on another clubs wage. Pisses me off that in this day and age, players still show this disrespect to the profession. Judging by the arse blowing shitshow we were accustomed to last 2 seasons, We lack modern footballers, athletes and a modern approach to training and fitness. Outdated bollocks. Saying that, Wilder looking trim in black in them training videos.

Went on the Stadium Tour on Good Friday this year pre match. JG confirmed Wilder regularly cycles into BDTBL to work during the season and he must be continuing this trait as you're right he's in much better shape.

People use things to suit agendas.
Of course it was a masterstroke, the fact McBurnie, Moussett, Peck and Shackleton are morons has nothing to do with Wilder building team spirit.

With regards to finishing 90 minutes as the years have gone by so has the number of substitutes that can be used it is no longer about the eleven who step on to the pitch at the start of the game it is now a squad game

Just to agree, a mate’s lad was a mascot this season. Wilder turned up on foot, having run in from his house, which he also does regularly, according to the guy taking them all round.

Well, the police and then the courts.

It’s not up to the individual to decide if they’re impaired, that’s what the law is for.

Just saying there's a difference between being rat arsed and just over the limit.

True but there are players more inclined to be needed for 90 minutes and they should all be able to do 90 minutes
Now half a team can be changed in a game but if the bench is shyte ???

This was discussed at length in a recent thread. I mentioned that a friend of mine, a medical professor who is head of medical and performance at one of the world’s top clubs, states categorically that, especially with the game having morphed into one for elite athletes, anybody aspiring to reach the top shouldn’t be drinking ANY alcohol. Obviously, this was ridiculed by the well known expert GeorgeDonis1889.

But, culture innit. England don’t win World Cups.

The documentary about the class of 92 buying Salford showed that. The team won a match on the Saturday and had a game midweek. The team celebrated the win and some players were getting drunk. I think it was Paul Scholes and Gary Neville who were present and they were horrified. Scholes called it that the players would still feel the effects on Tuesday and that they would lose the game.Come the midweek match on Tuesday the team lost and were a shambles and the players who got drunk were awful. Scholes was furious as he saw it coming.
