‘He had a go at me’: Neil Warnock warning to Spurs about Djed Spence

Let's just wait and see.
They obviously don't get on.
But as far as I know neither of them have publicly slated our fans or our area.
They both did ok for us in the end.
Neil Warnock kept us up and we are about to get a few million for Djed.
That money may let us bring in a couple of top class championship level players.
For once we could have done well out of this.
 
In my opinion Spence was overhyped at Forest last season.

He did well but not that well in a team with some very good attacking players.

It was strange how their fans and some of the media seemed to be trying to rub our noses in it when all that happened was we loaned a decent player out who clearly needed a change of management. That sort of thing happens at every club all the time.

Anyway, if we get £15m the Boro will have done very well out of it.
 
Hopefully get it done next week, £15m + add ons is very good business indeed - £20m for a defender with one decent season is probably a bit much tbh.
Warnock and Spence can then continue the cat fight away from Boro and let Wilder get on with things.
 
Not really sure what’s wrong with this? He’ll have been on talksport and asked the question about Spence. Being a former manager of his, he’s qualified to comment. To me, the comments look quite balanced and fair 🤷‍♂️
 
I'd be interested to know whether Woodgate had a similar experience with Spence, as one minute he seemed to be an integral part of the team under Woodgate and then suddenly he couldn't get near the team.
Woodgate was clearly concerned about him, remember that strange thing where he invited Spence for Christmas dinner and then when he declined he insisted Spence sent him a photograph of his Christmas dinner. Very odd.
 
You don’t ‘have‘ to show respect at all

People (whoever they are) earn it.
They do, and I'm no fan of Warnock, but people will always have something to complain about regardless of the manager, and that then creates toxicity. There has to be an acceptance of your area of responsibility, and letting the manager get on with his area without undermining.

A record 8 promotions doesn't earn respect; it demands it, from upstart footballers and internet pundits alike.

It doesn't mean everything NW says is correct, but only the very highly successful have the right to dismiss his views, or claim he has something to prove to them.

It’s a bit like saying
Respect the royal family
Respect the police
Respect your elders
Respect the government
Respect your boss
Respect the PM

etc
All horseshi@t
people earn or don’t earn respect
It really is that simple

Nonsense, I'm not warnock fan, but the opposite of what you say above is true. People in general are respected at first, and that respect can be lost. Whenever I meet a new work colleague I automatically respect them, sometimes they lose that respect, and other times they gain more of it. Its that simple.

Not at all, I'm not in a business with any of those things, they are social constructs imposed on me.

That is very different to a contract you have with your employer and the agreed standards of behaviour that come with it, in this case listening to the manager, and trying to build a team spirit not harm it.

The only one above I agree with and think might have a relation to this is "Respect your boss". If you don't respect them, raise a HR issue, if that doesn't change thing find a different employer and boss. Tell him, respectfully why you are leaving, and tell your bosses boss, but leave the childish emotion out of it, give the facts and walk away.

If Djed did that instead of screaming matches, and then twitter spats, then I might accept Djed isn't at fault, but he clearly is. Warnock may have misused him, but in reality, the issue is likely rooted in a personality clash. There should only be one winner if that can't be resolved, you can't have players undermining the manager.

As for those others, wider society, of course respect has to be earned and I clearly have zero respect for Royals that I didn't vote for, a PM that doesn't abide by the laws and agreed standards of behaviour, and shags his mistress while his wife gets chemo, I don't respect a government that transfers wealth to the rich, I don't respect a minority of police officers, including the ex- head of the Met, and I don't respcet someone simply because they didn't die young because that would imply that those who died young are somehow less deserving of respect for failing to survive cancer or a car accident. I approach every person with a certain level of respect, then assess if that should be removed. Starting with a lack of respect and then just giving it out when someone proves it is a pretty bitter view of humanity.

That's not true, I bet you show respect (which is the same as having respect to people all the time your not an ****, if you were introduced to.me, you'd be polite, say nice to meet you etc etc, thus showing/ having a level of respect. Then as I get more ***ed and behave like a complete tosser you will lose said respect and no doubt tell me what you think of me. Thats all I'm saying. This "earning respect" is a cliché and complete rubbish, respect is more often lost than earned. E.g I respected warnock until he managed the boro
 
Warnock wanted a ‘proper right back’ - he had Dijksteel (his first choice) and Fisher both of which he preferred over Spence.

He brought in Peltier with the injury to Fisher and sent Spence out on loan to a club that wanted a wing back.

We then had Dijksteel, Hall, Fry and Bola injured and had to switch things up.

Isaiah Jones snook in through the back door due to an injury to Sammy Ameobi. He shone on that left hand side and finally found himself on the right hand side.

Djed Spence tore it up at Forest and blossomed in his preferred wing back position.

Ironically we ended up playing a system that would have suited Djed Spence down to the ground.

Somewhat understandably Djed turned down the chance to cut his loan spell short and battle it out with Isaiah Jones at boro.

Turned out well for all parties.. even if there is a bit of bitterness on Djed’s part and some boro fans claiming that want rid of a player who was outstanding for tomotion rivals Nottingham Forrest and played a large part on getting them promoted.

You are making a choice - that's find by me,
Much like it is someone elses choice to take a different view should they so wish.

My comments arose by BM saying 'you have to show some respect' to your manager.
I think that is just plain wrong.
Sounds like we don't agree and that's fine.
It strikes a chord with me as I've seen many many people working for managers who get dogs abuse but crack on because they need the job. To say to them you should show your boss some respect just doesn't cut it.

So if Spence, me, the endless referees who faced his abuse, or whoever don't want to respect Warnock that is their/my choice.

Specifically on the Spence issue - lets face it none of us know what has gone on and likely both he and Warnock played a part in the daft outcome.

Do you reckon the lad will report for duty this morning?
