How do you know that he is a great influence in the dressing room? On the pitch he stands there shaking his head and kicking at the turf when things go wrong, hardly a great influence out there.
This is my perception from people who I know work at the club. And I don't think I've ever seen him unjustifiably have a go at any player in the last decade. I see him have a go at the ref every week, or kick the turf when he makes a mistake. This just emphasises his passion and commitment in my book.
