Since their investment they appear to have been happy to take a back seat & let SP run the club but, understandably, they seem to be getting more & more involved. Still on the fence as to whether it's a good or bad thing. I understand a lot of clubs do the same to help integrate the new faces & build team spirit much like pre-season tours but, whilst we clearly need to do something, perhaps a more 'back to basics' approach is needed. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

I just don't see what good a team bonding session in the sun would do. Based on the Bournemouth result it looked like Sam was getting us back into the style of counter attacking which has served us so well in the Prem so that was a massive plus. Unfortunately the counter attacking system has always meant that we struggle at home against teams who park the bus and try to nick a goal. This home form has gone on for so long now that as soon as the opposition score first our heads go down and we lose. Saturday was the worst yet because the players were just trying to play out till half time and Defoe struck twice. With this in mind we can play counter attacking away to Stoke and hopefully get a result but then comes Boro at home !! We all know that Boro will park the bus so Sam has to use the free 2 weeks to get the players into a system whereby we can break them down without leaving our defence open to the counter. It won't be easy but that's what is required and they won't do it in Dubai that's for sure !!

Parish has mentioned on many occasions that 90% of what is written in the media about the club is garbage and I can't see this Sky report being any different

I think it's a pr exercise. Doesn't look good them going with the amount of bad feeling and poor results at the moment. The press will be all over it, only takes one stupid instagram photo or Facebook post and it will intensify the bad feeling toward the players. I think that's the real reason it's been stopped... but then I am cynical When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

Dubai seems like too much of a treat after some bad performances. But some team bonding would still be good. Maybe Go Ape or Ten Pin Bowling?
