But then you look how important it is to managers like Mourinho and Ferguson - two men whose success is largely based on creating a 'them against us' mentality amongst their squads

I don't think it has a great amount to do with the nationality of players in the squad


spot on. the benefits of tean spirit only show themselves in adversity as in theory the whole squad pulls together and are seen as one. This can occur in two ways either collectively ie poor decisions and whole team is affected(Arsenal fail here) or individually when a player is not playing (ie adebayor spits his dummy out). A strong team spirit will reduce or even eradicate the negative effects these situations have on the squad.
As mentioned Rafa's biggest failing was not to succesfully harness a stromg team spirit. The Alonso saga probably cost him his job as players ceased to understand the logic behind it.

team spirit is what all great clubs are built on, look at how well utd have done with the them vs us mentality as did chelsea under jose. I think Kenny will instill this into our players.

Also some of the lesser sides like everton when they pipped us to 4th that season were great in spirit.

A good blend of team spirit, youth and experience is what we require.

All I was suggesting is that women and gay people can sometimes be a little sensitive.

If i've offended you then I apologise. Can we please let the matter drop?
