the bit in the article that stood out for me was the bit about telling young his season was over.
What kind of manager tells a player that his seasons over? How is that supposed to work? The fact that Young gave him a dirty look back kind of tells you that the player didn't appreciate it. And then he blabs that the incident to the press?
You have to wonder sometimes about what goes through calderwoods head?
In one of Fergies book's he talks about dealing with the press, and how you never mention the other team just before you play them as it can only back fire.
You build up your team, reinforce ideas you have been saying to your players, and sow seeds of doubt about your tactics. You only mention your enemy's when you are not playing them (like Fergie's classic that caused Newcastle and Keagan to blow it). And you never seperate your players from the team unless it is to praise them.
Yet before rangers last week all we heard was how great wee barry was - and this week he is giving an ultimatum to 2 players, and telling another to go off on holiday.
