FreshOwl Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Quite a few Burton Albion fans getting P’d off with JFH. Bottom of the league with 1 point from 7 after another defeat yesterday, and he’s on sky sports again this weekend doing super Sunday. He seems to do super Sunday every week and occasionally during the week also Surely he has more important things to be doing with Burton? I find it a bit bizarre myself. Imagine Moore doing punditry after a hammering Edited September 4, 2022 by FreshOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 It's not good from a PR point of view I guess but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest. I'd trust a manager to manage his time and I don't think that him spending a few hours as a pundit would impact massively on his day job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a behind the scenes and they arrive like 3-4 hours before kick off to prep, and then give the post match analysis. It’s an all day thing. And considering Burton have 1 point in 7, surely a Sunday would be better spent on the training ground or at least giving some form of duty to the club who employ me? I dunno, just seems a bit mad to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I don’t see an issue What do the Burton fans want him to do on a Sunday? Sit crying at home after a defeat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-owls Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 He probably gets paid more with Sky for a days work than a full week at Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it's more of a 'how it looks' thing rather than it being an issue that would impact on his work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Perhaps I am missing something, but why is he one of the pundits today? Normally when he's on Sky it's because Chelsea and/or Leeds are featuring (two of his ex-clubs). Unless I've missed something, he never played for Brighton or Leicester and most certainly never featured for Man U, Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless if I was a Burton fan it wouldn’t sit well with me I can’t lie They played at Oxford yesterday. Imagine the team making their way back on the team bus, but Jimmie declines to stay down south for sky.

SiJ Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I bet all our fans would be cool as cucumbers if Darren Moore was appearing weekly on Sky Sports following a defeat. Yep. Calm as cucumbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Yeah I do find it a bit odd. I doubt it impacts his work but not a good look especially when struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitechapel Owl Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think Peschisolido is the only manager he's sacked in the 40 years or so Robinson has been chairman there. Although I'm not sure about when they were well down the ladder deep in non-league. Was expecting him to retire and his daughter taking over but she left to take the CEO job at Wrexham. What a strange an nerve wracking job interview that must have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 JFH may only really have Sunday ‘off’ so maybe it’s OK in that sense… but I think most managers wouldn’t be doing media work whilst currently in a job. I get your point though. And speaking of irrational, Darren Purse was once on Soccer Am the day before a Sheffield derby… I remember being grumpy about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Crawshaw Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Barnsley manager Michael Duff was a pundit at the West Brom v Burnley match on Friday night.
