I’m not a ‘Butler disciple’ either; I’ve criticised him when I thought it was fair to, criticised some of the flak, and sometimes insults, he was getting if I thought it was unfair and unjustified. He’s not perfect by any stretch, and there’s areas of his style and communication I’d like to see develop, but I’m really not sure which other manager and coach around could have achieved what he’s done this season and last, so those who want to see him gone, be careful what you wish for, I reckon.
I’m also not convinced an over analytical motivational theory of the messaging post Southend resonates in the final analysis either. But hey ho, each to their own. SODIron’s insights about motivational messaging in the lead up to gaining a playoff spot did resonate with me. Just not so sure about the first section of this latest theory. But pretty much on board with the messaging for next season.
