Presuming he’s not picking the “poison” in his squads, how can Jack Earing have so much influence, surely just tell him to train away if he’s a problem.
That’s the only conclusion unless he’s talking nonsense.

Seems like he's running out of excuses for me.

It sounds to me like having seen what was going on - whatever it is - some of last season's managers left perhaps of their own accord.

Also sounds like Murray has taken it on himself to try to root out 'the bad boys' whilst trying to get some decent football out of the team.

If that's the case I think he should be admired for doing that. Like some of the others he could have walked away!

Nope - the other managers were firmly punted

As Murray says “I do not want to be barrow’d”

He’s making sure he’s the one doing the punting

Just sort things out behind the scenes. Present a united front to the fans and the media. Not picking on the manager, throwing the former physio under the bus was probably the low point.

If you’ve got players you describe as poison & they must go - they wouldn’t be in your squad. Tuesdays starting 11 had 3 players at the club last season & 3 players on the bench who all came on that were here last season.

If they are that toxic why are they on there , of course it may not be them.

Barrett ? I highly doubt a young second choice goalie is causing headache

Earing ? Well the other week he was the best thing since sliced bread to get himself back onto the bench - not been seen since mind but he was in salvos tonight , so if he’s that toxic he wouldn’t be around the group.

Let’s see who’s left out tomorrow after that interview as you cannot come out with that and pick the same people.

Not really sure I believe him to that full extent , he’s thrown it around a few times already this season..

He can try all he likes.
His Neanderthal approach will NEVER produce decent football.

Blaming everyone but himself.
These are his signings and his tactics ( if you can call foul and hoof tactics).
Running out of excuses to hide the obvious....he's a shit manager.

Theory 1: I’ll bet whichever player/s were going to Hornby last year and moaning about manager’s they didn’t like has done it again this time and it’s got back to Murray.

Theory 2: One of them has a burner account on the form and slags the team and Murray off. Calls everyone “happy clappers”.

Theory 3: He’s found Connor Mahoney living in one of the broom cupboards.

Yep.
Running out of people to blame.
Needs to look in a mirror.
