Didn’t watch it, although I will do later. Not wanting to put a dampener on the ‘thinks before answering’ bit, but he is French and English is his second language which he has only been learning for two years or so. It’s just likely that he is trying to understand what he has been asked then figuring out his English words to answer.
Hah the thought did cross my mind about this (maybe I should have put that as a caveat “he might just be thinking of the English in his head but…”
TBH, he seemed genuinely amused at how naive some of the questions were ... ... I thought he was going to laugh at one point. Just the usual tedious slaver tbh, from the same bunch of clowns. The same people who were counting 'days since our last manager' are now saying he shouldn't have been appointed until his staff were all in place. It's like the Chinese hackers who are trying to destroy our democracy and society ... ... the slightest gesture or phrase is going to go under the RTG microscope until they find a virus. What a sad way to 'support' your club.
Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed it. I think this could be a bit of a slow burner, it will take time for the players to "get the message " I sincerely hope that he gets that time as I feel he could be good for us. Perhaps I could draw a parallel with when Murty came into the club. He made the younger players think for themselves rather than, initially, being told what to do. It took a while but eventually the players got the message and results started to improve. I do not expect instant results but if I can see some progress I will be happy. Hope he's here for quite a while.
Came across very well. That coupled with the 'let It be' chant has convinced me we're definitely going up and unbeaten
They allegedly loved that other coach we had who used to play for Boro (glad I can't remember his name). Wouldn't mind a tough guy coach for a change who might get the best out of them!
Don’t get me wrong I’m buzzing about the Rigg news and I’m happy people are feeling a feel good factor again but for me I’m still extremely sceptical, I want it ensured that RLB has the final say on the staff coming in at a minimum and as for signings, I’ll wait and see
Absolutely. There was some news floating about that he was getting some sort of advisor or two. The strange interviews for coaches is a random one. Presser was good mind. Came across great.
That's fair enough mate but I'm not sure you'll get your wish ... ... I doubt any club would ever make that kind of statement.
From the press conference "Hi I am Keith", google translate, "I am the chief fluffer for the Saudi/Jawdi nation" The club need to get that **** banned
Most head coaches/managers come across well enough once you actually hear them speak (as opposed to judging them on gut feel or keyboard warrier poison). That said, I though that was a genuinely good presser. His perspectives were refreshingly free of bullshit, despite the watery questions, and his commitment to youth development is certainly a big plus. All in all a very hopeful start (which is more than can be said for several of his predecessors).
That's bugging me now. I've got his name on the tip of my tongue so to speak, but I just can't get it. I know exactly who you mean though
