BBC Swindon this morning

Because so many people's beef with Bryne seems to consist of precisely just that - "he shouts and waves his arms so he's a moron". At least you had the decency to judge his coaching abilities on the basis of some random anecdote that apparently shows he's a "knobjockey" 

Having had the pleasure of talking to Byrne, my opinion is that he's a bit of a tit.

That said, if he wins games, I'll be singing We are Byrnes Red and White Army! I don't have to personally like the bloke though.

[Bogus Dave]

I think you;ve just highlighted why manager's aren't shit just because they are loud or quiet, you can be either and good, or either and shit.

Don't really understand your argument there Davido.

The point was people slag(ed) off malpas for seeming passionless, yet slag byrne off for being passionat

[herthab]

so do i, but does the team not reflect/represent the bloke in charge??

I don't think they reflect his personality. Look at that whinging, miserable twat in charge at arsenal.

No Paul I base my views on the bloke from a variety of experiences, and apologies for using the term "knobjockey", didn't realise that in some way makes my OPINION less valid.

I have never taken to the man, again, TO ME, he comes across as an old school style of coach, the advantages of keeping him in the set up are escaping me at this time.

Seems to me that ever since he did that Trust podcast you've been an avid supporter of the man, which is understandable I suppose.

Exactly. FWIW, I quite like him on a personal level, but that makes no odds whatever about his managerial/coaching ability. I don't really care whether I like/dislike the managers/players/whatever  - I want to watch them play football, not move in with them

[Sippo]

Thing is if Byrne does well ie in the next 3 games or so, he'l lbe staying - like him or not.

[Simon Pieman]

What you need is a manger with a bit of humour. Maybe then we'll emulate the success we had under Andy King.

And therein lies my feelings aswell.......having spoke to him at numerous away games he always mades stupid comments, Jan's comment about him at the legend's thing pretty much sums him up as a person. Look at the Zaaboub thing as well, yes Zaaboub was an petulant idiot but your assistant manager shouldn't be almost fighting with players what kind of example does that set. I also feel aswell as never getting the fans behind him MM was on a loser from the start as Byrne blatently wanted the job himself and there was always an underlying tension between the 2. Add in the shit football we've seen this season for which he must take a lot of responsibility himself and it leads me to not really think much of him. It's not purely based on the fact that he looks a tit in the dug-out.

[Bogus Dave]

If byrne can get us playing like we did against swansea and forest last year consistently he's welcome to the job

Fine, but the example you gave was in my OPINION a poor one of why he is a bad coach/manager. I stick up for Byrne for the same reason I stuck up for Malpas a lot of the time - because a lot of the criticism he gets is unfounded/irrelevant to his abilities as a coach/asst mgr/caretaker/tea lady. If you founded your OPINION on more relevant grounds than those you gave fair enough, but I went on what you posted. So hang me

[thepeoplesgame]

If a manager was juggling fucking seals on the touchline then I'd probably give him more time when it came to a run of bad results.

You and me both. I'd pay top dollar to watch that regardless of any shite served up on the pitch.

[pauld]

We're all missing the point - what we need is a manager who can play drums

[flammableBen]

Why's your OPINION allowed such a high level of validity that people aren't allowed the OPINION that it's shit?

The OPINION rant is pathetic. Please never do it again.

[Bob's Orange]

The seals would be fucking each other at the same time as being juggled?

[pauld]

It would work equally well the other way round, although I'd accept that having the manager fucking juggling seals on the touchline might not be quite acceptable as family entertainment. I'm guessing the RSPCA would be under-impressed as well.
