Lord Snooty Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't think it's him being English as such, more the fact that he experience of the English leagues. He understands the footballing culture that English players are brought up in. Obviously there are some terrific foreign coaches many in the top flight, but that is almost a different world. Where dressing rooms are built up of multinationals. Our squad in the main is British with a smattering of Europeans. He's experienced at this level as both player and manager. It's the little things ...He'll know other managers, how they set up. He'll know the horrible grounds with intimidating crowds. It's little things that add up. He'll know and understand the importance of humour in the dressing room. Of a culture , if you want. As for the press conferences..in the main I think they're a sodding waste of time. But if he's positive and has a laugh with the journalists they may be less keen to do hatchet jobs. Which in its self might not mean much but which we all know can cause a fog of gloom.

Bulldog Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 We've existed for 151 years and all but 4 of those with 2 "None-English" managers so yes, it makes all the difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 It allows for proper emotions to get over. Quite often Jos and Carlos said things that ended up with random meanings and intentions. It can be fun for a while but nice to have a manager we can relate to much more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is said in them means feck all. They are just a sideshow to whet the appetite for the main event.
