I wish

[K33NY]

If the players are unhappy etc, I wish that a player or 2, despite regulations and warnings not to be played, just went out in media, telling it how it is, how demoralising Magath is..... I allways promote honesty and it would be awesome me thinks

[ToodlesMcToot]

What if one or two of the players came out in the media and said that, "yes, trainings are difficult but, overall, the feeling in the lockerroom is confident and that things are continuing to improve"

Then perhaps I would re change my mind again, I trust our players more than Felix at current state

Then I would think they're lying.

The players - and, in particular, the senior players - will clearly not be happy with our start to the season.

Yet if the team's reaction to scoring on Saturday is anything to go by - all ten outfield players came over to the supporters to celebrate - there is a togetherness amongst them that belies the suggestion that one or two players will go it alone and break ranks.

Why would any player risk his career in that way?

Then I would think they're lying.

So only the negative is truthful?

Risk career? You think none other team would have picked up young talents like David, Roberts, etc? Think again, I am not saying it will happen, I just wished for once in football world, a player took a step forward and actually told the media "Hey I am going to be dead honest, our manager is giving the lads a hard time, he doesnt motivate us but rather the opposite with hes behaviour, our club is going down the hill and there is no sign for it to imrpove, I understand the fans and hope something happends before its to late"

Never will it happen but I WISH it would happen. A player proven with skill or young talent would never lose hes career over it, maybe under the same manager, but never would he total football career be over.

Then I would think they're lying.

But you would believe them if they said the opposite? Wow, that's keeping an open mind for you.   :012:

If we are going to wish for things to be said, I'd love for some unadulterated honesty in telling us why these signings make sense to Magath and why he thought starting Burgess and Kavanagh on the left with Staphylidis would do anything but invite attack after attack from Derby. Oh, and while I'm at it, Burn at right back - give me an honest explanation for that.
