Really? ... i would say better , but hard to say how much ... maybe george would have looked much better on the end of souths backline last year too
Especially if he was being marked by our right side defence...which was himself and his brother....

He’s a character, and one of my favourite players. But someone like him wouldn’t be prominent in any successful organisation. He’d be one of the most popular merkins in our squad so there’s no possibility of reducing his influence. He has to go.

I agree with this. He seems like the sort of bloke who's so likeable you'd have trouble being pissed off with him. Or disciplining him. BA actually said at one point that Norman was always playing practicle jokes on him. Sounds like he was a bit too friendly with Arthur - which may not have been a good thing in terms of Arthur neing the boss or being respected by the playing group. Who knows, without Norman we might see some sort of culture shift. I'm a bit disillusioned lately, so I'm not holding my breath.

You can't be mates with your employees. They have to know who's boss. More importantly, a boss who garnishes their respect.

Course you can. But you have to straddle the line, and be willing to wear shreds off them if needed. You can't be just a good, matey boss that everyone loves and you can't be a dictator. There should always be some separation

So what your saying is there is a fine line?

I reckon you can be a father figure but not a mate.

You can be a mate but it has to be that shit kind of mate who will stop being your friend the instant you stop toeing the line.
