A parallel between Roy Keane and Paul Hurst 19:33 - Jul 26 with 3441 viewsAshFinland

As many of you will have read, Tom Adeyemi is the latest player to have been called out publicly by Paul Hurst. In this instance, our new boss questions Adeyemi’s willingness to train and compares him unfavorably to another member of the squad who is dealing with similar injury issues.

I don’t know whether any of you remember this but we had a manager some odd years ago who specialised in publicly airing grievances with players and taking potshots at the set-up of his predecessors. That bloke’s name was Roy Keane.

I am not suggesting that there are any similarities between the two in terms of tactics, attention to detail, training methods, whatever. It is too early to tell. What needs to be said, however, is that Keane lost the dressing room due in a large part to burying his players in public. How would you feel if your boss behaved in this manner towards you? I really think Paul Hurst needs to be careful with this stuff.

I wouldn't blame my boss if I was limping round the office saying I was too injured to do a days work for a whole year.

It's a fair point.

A lot to be excited about going forwards, as one would expect with a new man in charge.

Dozzell back, maybe Bishop too - and Edwards and Harrison are players I'm keen to see.

And yet this situation with Adeyemi sits a little uncomfortably with me.

Fck it, maybe it gives him the motivation and emphasis he needs to move forwards...

Hurst actually sits somewhere between Keane and McCarthy. Honest and open like McCarthy but more down the route of Keane in setting standards he expects and being prepared to publicly single out players. I thi k he is nore approachable and harsh but fair then Keane though.

Keane's problem was that he was aloof and distant, not that he was straight talking. He couldn't really manage people very well, he prefers dogs. Hurst is known for being an excellent man manager.

Hurst is under pressure to perform with an inadequate squad and its probably made more infuriating to see talented lads perhaps not pulling their weight or not committing to the cause. I think he's said what he's said to be a motivator, no one wants to be that player in the spotlight having their job performance questioned. Adeyemi will either accept it and crack on or continue to under perform and will realise he needs to find himself another club...who would take him with his injury record though is limited so just maybe he'll choose the latter option.

Quite right in my opinion. Adeyemi has been a complete waste of budget and a poor signing. No smoke without fire. Sounds like Adeyemi is quite content to rake in his cash, sitting on the physio bench, going from one injury to another.

So much for Mick getting in the right personality and proper blokes. Sounds like Tom is anything but!

I’m commenting on Adeyemi. Clearly doesn’t fit into the category of a MM type player and Hurst has seen through him. Quite rightly in my opinion.

Remain very positive about Hurst. Delighted MM has gone. Don’t need sarcastic posts from the likes of you. Go pick on someone else.

The way I see it, rightly or wrongly, is that this is a last resort tactic. We can only guess that any internal, private conversations have already been had but to little effect.
