[QUOTE="TJV, post: 435995, member: 4300"] [COLOR=#141414][FONT=tahoma]Arrogant? Pure nonsense IMO. Thompson makes mistakes but he has a plan and the discipline to stick to it and he led the team to a title using that system. He favors young players over older players and he believes it’s better to let a player go a year early rather than a year late. Obviously there are exceptions but they only ‘prove the rule’.
