I know he's been living in Scotland but you would think he'd arrived here from another planet. Has he never heard of 'showing' appreciation?
It's an interesting point Scum has raised.
Of course clapping the fans isn't, by definition, hard evidence that a manager appreciates them. But saying what he said simply begs the question "So how DO you show the fans that you appreciate them?" If the answer was that he regularly acknowledges their support in interviews or in his press comments that would be fine. The trouble is that he doesn't; he just gets himself in trouble by making what sound like confrontational statements (that he later has to try to correct) and by appearing aloof.
If he was pulling up trees with the results, this wouldn't even get raised; fans would respect his achievement even if they felt he was disengaged. Sadly that's not the case and he is making a bad situation worse by alienating himself.
To me he sounds a bit like Kenny Dalglish - poker faced and struggling to be articulate - but without the credibility that comes from making positive things happen

He said we have lost since he stood up![]()

Correct Red green worst decision in letting Derbyshire leave the club, what Stubbs did as put the club under the pressure they are in.

Does it really matter what he says?
He can be as miserable as he wants as long as he's delivering results.
Which he's not at the moment so has to start delivering and none of us will give a t**s
