will the 'new manager' impact be the same when the promotion is from within and on the back of existing divisions - is there more chance of re-inforcing the divide than getting 'laudrups men' to improve? I'm not convinced the spanish contingent, de guzman, even bony are likely to be any more motivated by Monk if he is perceived as their former mentors tormentor! The rest of the old guard might play with a bit more freedom and focus, but then they weren't the entire problem. we are all a bit twitchy at the moment. and the next 2 matches are pivotal as what we now need are instant results, there are not many margins for errors, so we need that new manager impact. | |
