Coaches that riders dislike are more effective.
I guess there's got to be some kind of line though otherwise what's motivating and what's just abuse?

Totally. I dread to think the sort of vitriol Alex Ferguson's spouted in the dressing room in his time, and I doubt he's exceptional in that sense. Then again, Brian Clough was a hard man but still demanded gentlemanly conduct from himself and his players (didn't swear, asked that referees were shown respect). The idea that being authoritative somehow goes hand in hand with being misogynist/racist/homophobic and generally unpleasant doesn't follow; being disliked doesn't necessarily mean you're disrespected.

I don't think there's any problem with coaches not being people's bezzie mate. But you've got to be a dick to everyone rather than just on the basis of gender/ disability...

Sutton has always come across as fairly unpleasant, just based off interviews with and about him. Sounds fairly damning, can't see him keeping his job.
