By Chris McCready - probably why he never made it that big

Depends who's giving them I suppose.

Utter nonsense, a good manager can turn a game at half time.

Well you say that, but hey, let's get out there and prove it. Eh? Come on lads, bit of pride.

Plenty of that sh*t too. ut good management is Bolockkings and encouragement, little words in the ear, calming people down, bigging people up,  plus tactics and pointers, it separates the Hodgsons from the Rafas

[New York Red]

Utter b******s. A team talk can change a match.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

He has a point. If you're not only reading the headline, that is.

This told me all I needed to know:

Absolutely. Doesn't come off too clever.

But the shout/shout more stuff I've heard too many times. I think he has a point, and the better managers use teamtalks to adjust more than rallying.
