Troy Deeney

[WBA123]

Thing is as a manager, you can't be truthful all of the time. You have to be tactful and diplomatic.

It would be easy to criticise a player who didn't play well, as Deeney did. But where does that leave every other player, fearful of making a mistake? Sometimes you have to say a player is injured when really there has been a fight in training or a player wants to leave, for example.

Management is about man management more than anything. If you're happy to throw players underneath a bus when you lose then you're not a very good manager. You pick the team, you pick the formation. If you're not happy with a player or a result, look at yourself first before throwing blame around. Problem with Deeney is he isn't able to do that, he'll publicly pick faults in others before himself - so he'll never make a good manager.

I wouldn't want a manager like that here. I remember us being linked with Roy Keane before CC came in. I genuinely want nothing to do with that type of character.
