Falling out with the boss…

[PT_Arab]

This is mostly rumour, I know, but it seems like a fair number of our squad are falling out with the manager.

Half way through the season, I can think of Butcher, Chalmers, Mochrie and now Levitt who have all been rumoured to have fallen out with Tam.

So do we have an attitude problem in our squad or is Tam just a complete dick?

And on the subject of Levitt, does anyone know what is actually happening there? Two or three people have mentioned him falling out with Tam but there has also been chat of him signing for Ipswich. Is he fit and available again? Is he being sent back to Old Trafford? Is he signing for another club?

everyone i've spoken to says Tams sound, dunno what he's like with the players though

it's always in the back of the head the fact he was never professional and that was always a concern

like you say all rumours, but usually no smoke without fire. Levitt not playing has been disastrous for us

I've spoken to TC a few times after matches (results good and bad) and he is sound. He doesn't need to take time to chat but he does. As offshore says, only the players will know what he's like in the dressing room or on the training pitch.

I'm not sure I'd take too much stock in these rumors though. I've never had the feeling the players aren't playing for him for instance.

IF there is any truth in these rumours and IF TC lost his job because of it and we end up with another manager, what would the new manager do with the squad we have? We the fans are living in hope that the young players will be our lifeline, but we need the older players to help nurture them. If the older players aren't up to scratch (and a few of them fall into this category) why would the young players listen to and respect men they know aren't good enough? This puts TC in a very difficult situation.
Players and managers/coaches will always have fall outs and disagreements but it's how the manager deals with these situations that will determine whether he has a good grip on the players or not. Very hard to tell with TC at the moment as we don't know enough about him in this respect. Hopefully Tam gets a chance to put his stamp on the squad in January.

Mostly rumour, seems like. So basically pish?

All rumour. Nothing 'mostly' about it.

The Butcher rumour came at a time when his entire household had Covid, so we can put that one in the 'load of pish' drawer.

I have a couple O them drawers in the Bedsit.

Mainly in the winter when its too cold to use the outdoor facility.

My Dens Park Mole tells me that numerous players have fallen out with Pep McPoke.

The Court Jester (Cummings)
The Tree Basher (Charlie)
The Cop Basher (Gowser)
One of their own (Cammy)
Whaurs my bobble(Sheridan)
The Groin Stroker (McMullan)
The Wee Man (Mullen)

Its a fairly common thing in the dressing room environment troops so i wouldna worry about it.

I do worry when it's a player that we depend on, like Levitt who, if we believe the rumour, has been sent back to Old Trafford and we won't see him again. The last few weeks/couple of months have shown how much we need him.

This is rumour and even if it were true only Levitt is the key player amongst that group

That's why I'm addressing it now - previously it probably wouldn't have had a serious effect on the team and our form, but I think a few have mentioned it, even on this thread, that Levitt missing is a big factor in our form dip and complete inability to win games/score goals/pose a credible threat to the opponents goal.

If you take this approach to every rumour you'll find it hard to sleep at night. Wait for the facts is my advice, it's not like worrying or not worrying will affect things much.
