singe Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The "food thing" will be a motivator if there is the possibility of breakfast and lunch being re-instated if the performances improve. We don't know if the possibility and terms of them being re-instated. It could be the next win, two wins on the trot, we don't know so cannot guess.

Stevie_J Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 You chat absolute balls I think what he said is bang on. Not only is the move bad for player morale, which must be on the floor anyway, but it also means the club won't have any input into what they're eating, which means a much greater likelihood of them eating crap. Croft will be having Nando's for breakfast, dinner and tea. Winchester will probably just have a few extra Bensons to suppress his appetite.

boundaryblue80 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Whatever it is, it shouldn't have reached the papers. Not sure how you'd keep something like that from them though. Lots of players and staff involved. This isn't aimed at you, but for those who don't think things leak out from the club...they do...people talk.

You think they'll be motivated to win back their breakfast? If they're not motivated now, it won't make the blindest bit of difference.

Combo Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) A sure way to keep "foodgate" out of the papers was to make it undisclosed ... Norris Mcwhirter (rest his soul) wouldn't have even known. Edited December 21, 2016 by Combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're not motivated now, it won't make the blindest bit of difference. These reprobates can't even motivate themselves to stand out for a decent move when their short contracts run out, never mind their :censored:ing beans on toast! It's a punishment. It's not a carrot and a stick. And I wouldn't want to speculate how it will work because I don't know the players he works with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Chron reports that players will no longer be served breakfast or lunch at the club as a punishment for poor performances. They'll have to sort their own food from now on. What?????? This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read!!! Short sightedness and penny pinching summed up right there.

It'll effect our ability to bring in players in January. Would a player rather join a club where he's cooked for or where he has to make his own food, and spend some more of his wage on it too..? So short-sighted, especially with the window coming up and the desperate need for players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deyres42 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ask yourself this - would such a measure been taken with a Steve Evans or Sheridan in charge? I think we know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I'd read that this food thing was implemented by Robinson at the start of the season, so it's just taking that away. Not taking away something that has been there for years and is there at every other football club. Might have that wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Ask yourself this - would such a measure been taken with a Steve Evans or Sheridan in charge? I think we know the answer. Evans would have insisted on cooked breakfast being served for all the players. He just wouldn't have let them know as he enjoyed it all to himself.

yarddog73 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 They would have had a pre match meal prepared for them numb nuts, they may well have gone down to the Oxford the night before unless we are scrimping on that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The act itself is not a huge issue, players will just get on with it although what top pros like Clarke, Croft, Gerrard etc make of it who knows. But it does appear to undermine the manager and to outsiders looking in will make us look tinpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think being hard or soft comes into the equation. More like having a brain or not having a brain... Of course if someone made your food it'd be an advantage, but its not like your making the squads food on a rotational basis, your making 2 meals a day for yourself, they are all probably off the training ground at midday so not like there pushed for time and after a couple of weeks it'd become the norm and they wouldnt think twice about it, just my view, think we've got bigger issues in getting players to sign here than fending for themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 They should be worrying about how to put food on their own plates post their football careers, not what their present employers are willing to give them for free......
