You can't polish a turd

[AlienWoodward]

Has this saying taken over from "tactically inept" when someone tries to describe United?
Out of interest,how many of you have actually tried polishing a turd to know that you can't polish one ?

 

[Stafford Blade]

runny ones are especially difficult to try and polish.

i wouldn't want to describe speed as tactically inept because he isn't. But the bloke is up against it having inherited muppets like evans, nosworthy, taylor etc etc.

A quick coat of nail varnish is all you need.

Have you ever eaten one? Do you think they taste nice?

So what you're saying you can turn Evans into a decent player by soaking him in water and rolling him around in your hands for ages....

Dumbeldore couldn't turn Evans into a footballer, let alone a decent one.

I've got loads of that stuff in my garage. Perhaps the squad should take a bath in it!

I had one once that looked like it had been polished. Turned out I'd got Salmonella

It doesn't blow the myth though does it, really? Take one turd and polish it as it is. They took several and their process involved breaking it up then reforming it with water then rolling it about in the palms of their hands for several days to get a high gloss finish.

All that shows you is the same process as team building. Breaking it down into constituent parts, adding something to act as a cohesive bonding agent (their case water - pampered footballers need team spirit and simple direction) then it needs to be moulded into shape to look like the sum of the parts is greater than the individual elements (aka management).

Gary Speed is just looking at the shape of his prefered style of turd and rubbing it a little but not changing the formation much in the process. Result is - still a turd.
