However, he's in a position where he must keep trying until told to do otherwise by his employers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) I just feel he’s becoming more and more isolated and if things continue like they currently are then things are only going to get worse? Given his reputation for walking out on jobs in Germany, I’m absolutely amazed he’s sticking it out here given he only said the other day he hasn’t experienced criticism like he’s currently receiving here ever before?

He fully knows this is his last job in football. He wants his retirement money, can’t blame him both you and me would. This is all Chansiri’s fault for making a shocking appointment and it’s all his fault for not sacking him. The man needs putting out of his misery, it’s embarassing now. Its all chansiris fault that our squad is poo as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchy Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 22 hours ago, rickygoo said: Questions about Jos’s future are in that macho area of journalism. Journalists feel like they have to ask the questions but the answer is almost always going to be pointless. It’s posturing on behalf of the journalist and really it’s asking the wrong person. Chansiri is the only bloke who can answer it properly. It’s all part of the journalistic game. Wtf is Jos going to say - yes I might get sacked on Monday. Having said that he should be professional enough to just bat it back. Yes He should say to Giddings are you thick or or simply ignorant because I’ve answered the question before to the best of my abilities. Next question.

Mrmason69 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 It's all stage managed by the komandant. Storming out is better than having to answer questions. Anyway he's under orders not to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 You would have thought that given his past of walking out on a job after a couple of months that the pressure from this job and the majority of the fan base wanting him out he will eventually resign from this job. I believe that is the only way he will leave because clueless DC won’t sack him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgmetcalf Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Not heard the interview myself because I always turn down the sound when Jos comes on. My mate listened to it though and he’s a Stoke fan. He said Giddings was being a wee pipe and winding Jos up on purpose. That would explain a lot. Giddings only retort would be that he was only asking the questions the fans want to hear, well I’m not sure that would be the case. That said, if Jos isn’t sacked this week I’ll want to know why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetherave Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Just listening to RS interviewing Andy Giddings......... about THE interview. Seems a lot of empathy for Jos by them. i have to say though, there always appears a massive difference in how CW is interviewed .... with reverence, and how Jos is interviewed ... teetering on contempt. That is certainly not fair ... no matter how unhappy we are with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred mciver Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Jos is effectively saying I don't care if Owls go down , I'm here until paid off. Nice. Plus his humiliation from Chansiri - as he hunts for his replacement- is complete. Jos must have complete respect of players. And morale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, the reverence and contempt you speak of is pretty representative of the respective fanbases' attitudes towards their managers right now, isn't it?

I mean, have you ever heard a caller ask in-depth questions about a caller’s knowledge, to test them? Don't you know, all callers have a thorough Wednesday knowledge test they have to pass in order to be allowed on air? The droves of secret Leeds fans calling in pretending to be Owls on a weekly basis get weeded out as soon as they're asked what Ryan Lowe's middle name is or what 'consilio et animis' means.
