Question re Grant in the dug-out

Was back in Norfolk at the weekend, and heard a couple of connected pieces of (unexpected) grumbling about Grant.

One was about his public criticisms of the players. Fair enough, we've talked about that before.

But the other was about his behaviour on the sidelines during games - basically that he goes over the top slagging off the players, shouting and screaming etc. I guess these people think that it's all a bit too public, and doesn't help the players' confidence. And that if he's like that in public, he must be even more abusive in private.

Anyone on here sit near enough the dug-outs to hear what he does during games? And if so, do you think there's any truth in the concerns above?
