He surprised me a bit with the way he spoke.Some things I found interesting were.
1 The passion in his voice when he talked about the club.
2 Players to be held accountable for their performances- unlike this season.
3 His observation(like everyone else except price) that the players had no clue what to do when they ran onto the field.
4 He wants the players to be "unhappy" losers.
He was a fine attacking player so lets hope he can help in this department.
These are pretty much the same pts I got out of the interview. And I am buoyed by not just what he said
but how.
I know I may make too much of how a man speaks, but if you are paid to lead, then you Need to act and speak like a leader. If you can't articulate intelligently then you need to communicate with conviction using some other quality, be it passion, determination, confidence whatever. Or of course just deliver the results, that does all the talking for you!
I like what I heard based on the Blacksafake list above.
In Response to the question 'what do the Dragons Need to do in 2014' Mary came right out and said what we really want to hear, and the Players Need to know. We Need to WIN! I don't think I've ever heard Steve Price say that. With the use of words like "consistency" and "Dragons footy" or even "our own Standards" ...always vague, open to Interpretation and seemingly an out clause. Win - it's that simple. If you can't say the word how are players supposed to develop a winning culture, or know how to win?
So many times i thought Steve Price just gave lipservice at interviews - although his last one with John Stanley is IMO a little better.
And, I like how Paul McGregor identifies with fans - that "...we shouldn't spoil their Weekends" by not even being competitive.
Finally, I think the way he talks is more consistent with Laurie Daley, then Peter Doust.
