Something I noticed about George Burley at yesterday's game. His interaction with players was top class. He was constantly shouting encouragement at his players and applauding the good moves and this had an obvious positive effect on the players.  At the start of the second half, the players were defending very deep and he was screaming at his defence to push out and after that there was no problem. Hibs brought a rapid right winger (Ivan Sproule) on who immediately skinned 2 players and almost provided a goal. Straight away Burley brought on a pacy left back and after that, he never got a kick. After the game he went on the pitch and patted each one of his players on the head and gave the fans a warm round of applause. I think he is a class manager/coach. Burley looks like he cares about the players.

My point? Andy King could take a leaf out of George Burley's book and show some interaction with his players instead of puffing on his cigars like a fat mafia boss and blaming them for poor performances.  :old:

You wait till Burley's honeymoon period is over, remember after taking Ipswich to into the premiership he took them back to 19th in division one before he was sacked.

Loads of managers sit in the stands.

Sam Allardyce does it as well, he's not a waste of space.

But he is fat.

Aye but he is allowed to sit in the stand, he got Bolton into Europe. I'll be happy with King doing that when we are in Europe!
