Just noticed this while looking at the pics of training on the OS

Alistair Smith "management consultant" in full training kit pointing around & stuff while talking to Dave Rennie.

For those of you fortunate enough never to have had anything to do with these types let me explain the significance.

This is a man who is living out a boyhood fantasy by being involved with a football club.
Are you a coach? A physio? No.
So get the feck out of that training gear & put your bloody suit on.

Get back to your office & write a few pamphlets filled with doubletalk that you can then charge 4 grand an hour to read aloud from at some pointless seminar.
God,i hate these types.Pure poison.Worked with a fair few of them at different levels.Waste of space & skin every last one of them.
Spouting jargon-heavy drivel on the most basic of subjects & milking blood from the companies that employed them to do it.

The only reason they have come into football is because they can blind managers with psuedo science.
The techniques they use are the most basic of common sense in management terms but because pro footballers of MA's generation were never exposed to them it seems new to them.
It's like in old films where the explorer makes the natives think he's a God by doing a few conjuring tricks.

Charlatans these people are.
Same sort you find selling get rich quick schemes on the internet.

I just hope the club wakes up to this.

Go look at the picture & tell me he doesn't look like a spare one at a wedding.
But I guarantee you 100% that in his own mind,he's Matt fecking Busby

So correct me if I'm wrong here, and assuming your sweeping generalisation of "management consultants"is correct, are you honestly now having a go at MA for getting somebody in to help him in areas he is unsure about?

Give me strength
 
Does anyone know how Damien Doyle is? He's in a few of the pictures.

Yes just read what it says under the picture :icon_roll
