The Le Manga affair was the direct result of a group of grown men not acting sensibly and realising what could result from their behaviour. Mickey Adams was not even there. The cost of the trip was met by a director. Of course the whole club went into administration, read what he says "the events we endured" not Mickey adams endured, not I endured, but we. Agreed he made more than the one mistake, he admits that himself later in the same sentence. He made some howlers and had to go, no argument but stop blaming him for everything. And as for the only reason we got ourselves promoted being that the players wanted to recoup their cash, thats just stupid. It was a deferment not a rewritten performance bonus. People have a right pop at Chandler for bringing up the Mickey thing time and time again but the anti Mickey brigade are relentless in their efforts to keep having a go.
Ajax Treesdown Posted 22 January 2005 Posted 22 January 2005 Lads, lads.......schlow down...... Let Micky brew longer at Coventry then see the results. He won't have to move from Market Harborough anyway?!?!?

Hullfox Posted 22 January 2005 Posted 22 January 2005 Yes you're right I've changed my mind. Mickey, you abused your position of being an omnipresent. You could quite clearly see that all those miles away those grown men were being naughty. How could you let them go to court and stay in those cells. I really don't know how you sleep at night. One of my sales team at work is on a charge of assault. I'm off to ring the police and take the rap myself. after all, if I was doing my job as his boss he wouldn't have done anything wrong.
Hullfox Posted 22 January 2005 Posted 22 January 2005 i believe that when we got promoted the players didnt require motivating...a key trait in management 57553[/snapback] Not sure what the key trait here is, motivating or getting people that don't require motivation.

Jonbluefox9 Posted 22 January 2005 Posted 22 January 2005 He won't have to move from Market Harborough anyway?!?!? I have it on good authority that he doesn't live there anymore. He moved to Quorn in the summer but he may still have a house there although I doubt he could afford that.

What you're saying is that if they didn't get promotion they would not have been paid the money due under their contracts. What they agreed to therefore wasn't a deferment was it, they signed 30% of their wages away to increase their motivation - a master stroke by the administrators. I am now going to put my business into administration, slash the sales force's wages by 30% and watch the business flow in. It's so simple I can't think why I never thought of it before. And here's me employing a manager to motivate them.
