I see a lot of differences regarding how you accept Mr mancini, as opposed to Hughes. Now that Mancicni imposes a double training session on a players dodgy knee...it's ok. When Hughes did similar with fully fit players, he was "BULYING HIS SLAVES".
Come on Antti...let's have a bit of equity here.
The double standards are pitiful.
We are doing double sessions because he has only precious few days to try and get his message through to squad. Before both seasons he was in charge, Hughes had all summer. I don't think double sessions will be any sort of standard in future.
The point I am making is the your accusation of "BULLYING" quite early last season, you were quick to jump on Hughes. Now we have a manager who makes a player with a "known" injury train beyond his capabilities. Mancini would have been well aware of this, but your attitude is totally different mate...I wonder why?
The reality is that this may just be bollox but your attitude to the thought of this happening, is supportive compared to the antagonism you showed to Hughes....again can we have some equity.
You always stated your opposition to Hughes was fair...Mmmmmmmm!!!!!
John I find myself in the unhappy situation of disagreeing with you again :o) Antti clearly states the reason why he isn't having a go about us doing double sessions, I'm sure that he'll adjust his opinion if its still happening in a month.
As you rightly point out though, the reality is that this is very likely just press bollox in any case.
Hack Journo 1 "so we need to make up more stories about Cidee today"
Hack Journo 2 "Easy, Bellamy, RSC and Given were all pally with Hughes, just make something up about them in training, no other reporters can contradict us cos no-one is allowed in"
