Doesn't matter how good a manager is, if they players are shyte you're f*cked from the outset.
Correct. All the amateur psychologists’ home-grown tadger-stream talk of extrinsic motivation by reward or punishment is just old man’s wânk.

If there’s non-existent intrinsic motivation, you’re starting two goals down. No fitba player worth a shirt thinks as he has the chance to contest a 50-50 with some brute in the opposition “there’s an extra grand in this for me”/“I could be subbed and dropped if I dinna contest this”. They’re competitors or they’re not.
