I meant Macca and Tickler. I'm with you, I want to see him jobless and penniless. Having to explain to his kids that he lost it all because he's a massive ****.
So because he wasnt perceived as friendly and doesnt like interaction with the media you have a huge dislike of him as a football manager? I'd have thought his job skills wouldve been important but each to their own. It's strange how clubs dont appoint more Mother Theresa types instead of people who are good at their jobs.
Interaction with media and fans is part of a football manager's job, and he was **** at both, so I have every right to dislike the **** as a manager too, if I wanted.
I didnt say you werent. I quite clearly said 'I was interested'. I've probably attended over 250 and the best press conference I ever saw was by Adrian Boothroyd. Maybe how his team performed? Just an idea, like.
Whatever. You claim not to be interested then pick a fight. Not sure what this has got to do with it. Yeah, his City team was a good one. Laid some of the foundations for what we see now. I still don't like the ****. Is there any real point to your posts here?
Just that you said the media is part of his job and he wasnt good at it. Similarly, most people wouldn't class Boothroyd as being a top manager.
He thinks he's under stress!? Thanks to his ****ing team drawing with ****ing blackburn it cost me a 1970-1 twelve-fold accumulator the prick.
"Just that you said the media is part of his job and he wasnt good at it..." He wasn't. "...Similarly, most people wouldn't class Boothroyd as being a top manager." If anything, you've provided a total opposite as an example. I'd find someone else to goad if I were you.
Nigel Pearson played a big part in bringing together key components of our promotion team & our present team- Chester, Koren, Rosenior & more. It didn't work out but he had a lot on his plate when he arrived with the financial problems off the field. We weren't good, but we weren't hopelessly crap under NP. Be good to play Leicester next season. You want games with a bit of needle in it. Makes football seem worthwhile.
Agreed. This didn't excuse his persona towards the media and the fans, though. I'll look forward to booing the **** next season
Liked his interviews personally, I enjoyed the disdain he showed at times and the subsequent squeals. He did quite well for us, all things considered, and I hope he recovers soon. I do realise now we have Brucie though, what genuinely top drawer manager looks like.
As has been said, he did a good job for us and his reasons for leaving now make sense. The media stuff is a big part of the job though and to be honest I find it quite distasteful that someone in such a privileged position shows such disdain for what is a big part of his job. Brendan Rogers is the same. I think most football fans would happily talk to the media twice a week if it meant they could be full time football managers. If a player behaved that way about having to speak to the fans via the media there'd be outrage and rightly so. Managers should be expected to be just as professional (and they are in other respects).
