That is a very good point. And from what I hear it could be a 50-50 split on that front.
The vast majority of them signed for him. Besides, whats not to like? Hes a very reasonable man. Danny Wilson will still be here when a lot of the players are gone. They can like it or lump it. |

Doesnt bother me. I want the team to do well.
I dont think Macari was very much liked at all.
You are correct there, Macari was hated by a lot of his players (just ask Bobby Barnes and Dave Hockaday about that!) but they respected him and wanted to do well as a unit and for the team, Macari also had a good assistant and that always helps, the players respected both Macari and Trollope. |

Kamara wasn't his biggest fan either after the Melrose incident.

Yeah he has few good words to say about him, but, even now...he still respects him, there does seem to be a little bit of a lack of respect currently, which is really the point I was getting at Spencer, its not about liking him, you dont need to like someone to repect them as a boss. |

Its all about respect and belief and trust. I have worked for plenty of good bosses who i didnt like but they ticked the above boxes. |

I agree. Sometimes we make it all too complicated. To me it just boils down to the players having 3 things, Fitness, skill and belief. I've seen enough of them this year to know they are fit enough and the skill is about right for the division - in some cases it's higher. So that makes it a matter of belief and there are times when we lack confidence. People get really tense and fuck up. Whether you can coach confidence into players is a really difficult question but it certainly isn't the sole reponsibility of the manager. For what it's worth I can never remember a time at Swindon where we didn't make stupid mistakes at the back and gift teams goals including the golden era of Taylor and Calderwood at the back
I can.1995/96. Despite hating McMuck it has to be said that team could defend properly. I think you can count the number of games we let in more than 1 in that season on the fingers of one hand. |

When does Danny's contract run out exactly? I think it's end of this season right, so would it be in July? And does anyone know which player's contracts run out then also? I know Vince's does. Any others? Apologies if this has been answered, but I can't be arsed to trawl through 20 pages to check!  |

The back 4 of Thomas Burrows Harland Trollope, with Joe Butler playing the holding role could defend....particularly at home. 35 goals conceded in 3 seasons from 68....71 |

If they're his parties, does he cry if he wants to? |
