Noble wasted more balls than a golfing Stevie Wonder when we played Barnet but you need your better players with you in the ‘trenches’, you need all your players with you in the trenches. It’s clear Bates isn’t managing, it’s not just about football, it’s people.
Difficult to manage when the tails wagging the dog, player power and all that, which can happen in football. Often man management is more difficult than football management but both are necessary to succeed at any level in football. Get the first right and the second becomes the easy part.
