[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1022280, member: 73144"] On the man management front ask Lawrence what he thinks. Or the likes of Harrison, Burrell and Isiekwe who all got pulled before half time (if they were really that bad remind me who picked them in the first place) or the likes of Ford and Mako who he publicly name checked as having been wrong selections for the RWC final. Or any of the back rowers who Shields was parachuted in front of. Or any understudy to Binny, Youngs etc who hasn’t got a look in despite sustained poor form from the incumbents. And those are just off the top of my head. Honesty is important, but there’s a lot more to man management than that. Consistency for one and there’s no way you could accuse him of applying the same standards to all. In the Botham article on the BBC his Beefiness said that to him looking in the Eng camp didn’t seem a happy one and I reckon he’s probably nailed it. Yes, too early to judge Amor. But his lack of credentials as player or coach will make it more difficult for him to persuade the players to buy into him. He’s not got the automatic status that Jones or Mitchell had when coming in. That’s just human nature. Maybe he’s got what it takes but he’s going to be swimming uphill for a while. Jones reminds me a bit of Mourinho, still chuntering into the mirror that he’s the special one. As an Eng fan I hope he’s right, but all coaches have their shelf life and I have a feeling he’s reached his (don’t forget that most of his earlier successes came from short term impact not long term building).
