    Sadly, you are correct. It's inevitable now, no matter what he does.

    People don't like him because he's a slick cockney spiv. They prefer bluff, straight talking Mogga. But as soon has he does anything that even approaches straight talking...

    I work in a similar field too. He could perhaps softened his language a bit but its probably gone past the point now. He might as well not bother doing pressers.
    I met a famous r5 broadcaster before a.presser with Bobby Robson and I remember he said 'these really don't matter a jot and make no difference to what happens on a.saturday.' its a bit of a distraction but I don't know why fans get so upset and twist what a bloke says.

    Trying to find a link to the press conference? Has it been removed from YouTube? Currently says not available?

    I've read a couple of journos etc tweeting who he has said and if it's sarcastic as they say he is going to be hounded even worse now. Just ut the final nail in his own coffin for most.

    What concerns me is he seems to be saying we are alright in the league not far off playoffs what the **** is the problem. Erm that's not from your results and ppg is it mate?

    He was very slightly sarcastic. And basically said that we're OK but things need to improve. He also talked about needing to score more goals and to move the ball faster. He didn't say anything offensive if you didn't watch the press conference looking for things to be offended by.

    twitters a cess pit mate

    I'm very happy he's been offered a deal and also happy they waited until now. Was definitely worth seeing if Jobe and Aouchiche settled better than they have. If they had, Pritchard would have been expendable. But both have (understandably) struggled, so Pritchard gets a new deal. Seems pretty fair to me.

    I'm also happy enough with what Speakman has said today about the transfer window. Hope it all spurns to life over the weekend and early next week.

    he’s a big boy I’m sure he got a lot worse in his last job. If he can’t take criticism he’s in the wrong job.

    He clearly can take the criticism, because he seems to be getting on with the job.

    Aye fair play to speakman for coming out he could have easily stayed silent until after the window, open and honest, like it

    He did but the implications are far reaching. Not necessarily on just Beale
