I read a lot about players wanting to sign for him, and it’s clear that he has attracted some good players to the club.
But why do they want to play for him?
Is it:
1) Because he’s a hard task master, disciplinarian, kicks them up the arse if they don’t pull their weight and runs them into the ground, a la Howard Wilkinson?
OR
2) Because he’s a nice bloke who goes easy on players, puts an arm around them and is happy at getting 80-90% out of them?
One thing I will say about Wednesday sides of the last few years, is that we’ve had talented squads and individual players with a lot of ability, but we haven’t had the collective toughness, will to win or mental attitude of a Wilko side, and whilst I blame previous manager’s more than anyone or anything else for our mediocrity, I think that’s a further reason as to why we haven’t progressed on the field.
