I personally think he should stand down... and come here and try and score some goals. This is all our cup final after all! |  |

That's quite a fall for Dabo. Started out at Chelsea then pretty good for Coventry. Seems to have collapsed since his penalty miss cost Coventry promotion. |  | | |

Couldn't happen to a nicer fella - allegedly.
Almost certainly this is coloured by watching QPR for the last two years but I'm a bit sick of precious little footballers getting out of their pram because somebody has dared to challenge them publicly for being a bit sht while pulling a salary most could only dream of. For fans of teams that are tanking there's also some satisfaction hearing somebody as angry with the team as you are, rather than just platitudes. Neil critchley said exactly what I was thinking after that Fleetwood game last season.
But, yeh, modern world, team sport environment, you're basically signing your own resignation note doing that. And it's going to be absolutely hilarious after he spent all last year doing podcasts with all his hangers on about how close Troy was to going to Arsenal and how Troy was going to replace Kane and how Troy's actually a better player than Cantona because he can head it better, if he absolutely crashes and burns now as a league two manager. |  | | |

So allegedly what has he allegedly been up to allegedly? You can just say what some footballer called Trumpety Bado has allegedly been up to. | | | |

The impression I get is he's lost enthusiasm for it. It could come back, but unlikely. Career hasn't gone how he expected it to, when you expected yourself to be making 250 grand a week but in reality you're closer to 2.5, it's going to feel like hard work. Seriously doubt he'll fancy non-league. Money seems to be the only reason he's got anything to do with FGR, and probably considers the money so low that he wishes he didn't bother. See also: Taylor Richards & QPR.
Should Troy Deeney have called him out so publicly? I don't see why not tbh. Do you want to be a footballer taking home 5 figures a month? Or a toilet cleaner for the NHS? This is real life. You've only got 1 shot.
Say he now goes on a run of 4 assists and 2 goals from the next 7. Do they immediately start calling Deeney "The next Jose Mourinho" and give him the Man Utd job? Would barely even lift my eyebrow these days. |  |

As you say, I accept the argument that players are spoiled babies generally and I question the motivation of TD there.
The reason for slagging a player, either publicly or privately, usually falls into one of two catagories:
1) A motivational tool to trigger players
eg
Sir Alex on Beckham
Cloughie on Pearce
Warnock on Taarabt
2) Blame shifting
eg
Phil Brown in the centre circle
Redknapp on Taarabt
Steve Evans in everybody
Troy Deeney slags everybody constantly. He’s in the second column. [Post edited 16 Jan 15:13]

A mere £130,000 a year for kicking a ball in L2. Oh the humanity.
It's ridiculous isn't it when, as you say, most of the population are working harder for less, much less. | | | |

I mean, I do feel a bit sorry for these lads, particularly the ones who start at your Liverpools, Uniteds, Chelseas - who have grown up under the impression they'd make it, and make it big time, and reasonably so in some cases. Must be quite traumatic to be promised enormous wealth and fame through your teenage years but ultimately end up struggling to make much of (Comparative to those teenage dreams) a living from the game. In the context of sport, it's one of the hardest experiences a player can go through. Far worse than a few chants or boos from opposition fans or whatever. It's a deep, meaningful rejection. As men, we tend not to handle any kind of rejection very well, let alone that.
But as men, we also need to accept that nobody is coming to save us. You have to lift yourself out of your circumstances. And if you cannot do that, you can't expect sympathy, because you're a man. | |

Going to use the 'in the know' card here...
He's been managing a long term injury. No lack of desire/heart or anything like that. I think he's been treated harshly and there's definitely some negative presumptions about pro-footballers being slung about that don't apply to Dabo. |  | | |

I get what you're saying, but I don't know Tyler Roberts. I can only comment on what I know and as I said, with regards to the accusation against Dabo, that happens to be something I know about. | | | |

Reading through each of these posts it’s clear Dabo will be a QPR player by June 2nd |  | | |

It depends on how the player is behaving and if the Club want him or not.....but all being equal it is not good practise. | | | |

Has Troy won as many trophies as Pep? No.
Has Troy managed the level of clubs Pep has? No.
But is Troy better at calling players out publicly for clout than Pep? Yeh. | | | |
