This is really the first time I’m hearing him speak & he sounds beaten! No fight in him! I actually feel sorry for him, he must realise at some point, his career, as a young, upcoming manager is going out the window!
He always sounds like that. I would have a bit more respect for him if he’d argued back against Burnsy and showed a bit of passion, or even done a Maureen-style mic drop and flounce. Even super-optimistic Nigel occasionally sounded a bit irritated with Burnsy. But Terry just calmly blathered on. Shows no passion on the touch line either. Maybe being publicly unemotional is his thing? Or he’s had too much media training? Maybe it works when you’re doing well, but just makes him look like he don’t give a crap. As for the like for like replacements ... I’m ****e at rembering which incident belongs in which match outside the big ones, but I remember a match at the KCOM under Bruce where we really needed to score and he just kept bringing on forwards until we had four(?) on the pitch, it was hilarious from the stands. It did work in the end and we got the goal but the message he was sending was bloody clear - get the ball in the ****ing net or else! So on Tuesday, we’re battling with Wigan on who stays up. A ****ing relegation decider. Let’s have a bit of fight then Terry, eh?
The question Burnsy should have asked is 'are you actually in charge of the way that we are set up and the formation and indeed the personnel...or is that decision coming from above, because anyone with any football nouse could see that its not working'... ?... I think that might have got a reaction...
Burnsy should have not bothered interviewing the half-wit. When McCann asked why, he should have said "there's no point bothering because you're a ****ing incompetent dickhead with no footballing nouse to speak of". He might have got the message, or, maybe he's too thick to even see it. Just go pal.
