Chuckle BrotherDenver RoyalNewCorkSeth I think Joey has made a huge error by coming forward with this statement. He is literally the last person in the club who's opinion of the manager holds any weight.
Not necessarily. He doesn't have to be a great player for his opinion or knowledge of footy to carry weight. Some of the big managers were average players: Sir Alex, Pep, Muirinho, etc. Andre Villas-Boas never even played footy.
If you were talking strictly about the 'Dutch connection' then that is a another matter, but his play on the field wouldn't be a direct correlation. Barrow might be our best player this season, yet he might know little or nothing about management.
Pep ???? Really ?

Hound I think the players are behind him still. He sounds like a very decent bloke to be your manager (as long as you aren’t Adrian Popa).
Still doesn’t mean his general management hasn’t been diabolical this year though

Eaststandman Totally agree, but there are still fans defending him too!

Eaststandman Totally agree, Bracksroyal but there are still fans defending him too! But apparently those of us questioning JVDB's response are just dumb.

Didn't see where anybody called you dumb? Burden of proof on you, and all that. You started a thread, I assume, to solicit response. You didn't respond or engage throughout. It seems it fell some way short of your desired expectation. I'm guessing you thought JVDB would be a safe easy target. Its been a couple weeks, about time, right? Everyone would pile on like a herd of sheep with yet more negativity...as if any more were needed right now. Yet it seems it came up a little bit short of your intended agenda. And that's ok, it happens, right?

This is a bit desperate DR.
