The manager of a team is like a stagecoach, he can't move unless he has the horses.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only time some people work like a horse is when the boss rides them.
You can't make a manager have a coach he doesn't want. I can't make the head of the accounting department work with someone he doesn't want.
Coaches are an integral part of any manager's team, especially if they are good pinochle players.
A horse never runs so fast as when he has other horses to catch up and outpace.
The players make the manager, it's never the other way.
Being general manager is like being the de facto owner. It's like wearing the crown of 'Restaurant Man' without being 'Restaurant Man.' You're trying to run the business, but you're running the ranch without riding the big horse.
The manager is to be blamed who distributes parts to his players which they are unable to act.
Teams buy players and change managers if they feel they need change at the club.
Basically, a manager is a father figure to 20 or 25 blokes. It's about trying to get the best out of them and creating team spirit.
A manager is not a person who can do the work better than his men; he is a person who can get his men to do the work better than he can.
