So we potentially throw away progressing so the manager can swing his bollocks?
Managing is about dealing with difficult characters not throwing them out of the room.

It's not about swinging his bollocks. I've always defended Ade, but he's pissed off so many managers now that it's clear he's a disruption of some sort. You don't make a stand against a negative influence in the work place and then go seeking his assistance just because, on one occassion it might suit you. It's weak. And it shows a lack of confidence in the players that have got on board with your vision and standards from the outset.

I understand the temptation. But it's weak. Simple as that.

As you are so obviously management How would you deal with Adebayor then?
I would have him on the bench at least. I don't buy this "disruptive" nonsense. This is not a schoolroom of children. They are a group of wealthy men who know that if the team does well collectively they gain individually.
The biggest and only ego MoPo has to worry about is his chairman's.

I have a feeling the team will be a mixture fo 1st teamers and 2nd string, similar to last week.

I think you'll find that a group of lavishly paid "men" who play football behave EXACTLY like a group of kids in a schoolroom.

Mate, how much evidence do you need that this guy can be poisenous?

I actually quite like him, but he's clearly a pain in the fucking arse to have in your squad.

Ok I see what you're saying but why do you disregard the ITK from the time of the Kane mutiny?
Also can you honestly think Ade will bring anything constructive to the squad considering his last few appearances and the disruption caused at that time.
I believe the ITK as I cannot see any reason to post it if it were not true.

I'm confused - if Poch is making choices based on Levy as you suggested earlier in the thread, surely he WOULD be playing Ade to get our money's worth out of him?
