Managers and post match interviews.

When your team has just lost (any team) and you are obliged to give a post match interview, then you have to go in to clutching at straws/cliche mode because saying your team (any team) was rubbish and admitting you (any manager) don't know what's wrong or how you are going to fix it is not an option.

 

Best tell Fergie that then, as because as far as I'm aware he STILL refuses to talk to the BBC.

Chris Powell never makes any excuses in interviews. If Charlton aren't good enough, they aren't good enough. On the flip side, I've never heard Danny Wilson accept responsibility for anything.

I don't think anyone would expect the manager to do anything but defend his team and decisions, but what stood out last night was the way DJ was blaming what he (incorrectly) thought was a massive offside decision that wasn't given, while not acknowledging that his own side had only got back in the game from a blatantly offside goal themselves... either he'd not had a look at the replays, or he'd not talked to someone who had, but it made it look like a bitter and ill-informed rant from him...

 

and as already mentioned, we've seen enough of those at the Lane to know one :)

I like Dj interviews, blunt but down to the point.

 

We have had some really dull managers and the interviews before and after are just pointless. Alan Irvine, Brian Laws to name a few.

That's what's known as "selective" viewing and the last bastion of a drowning man. Yes Owls goal was offside, Boro's was not it's when the balls played, not when it lands. TBH DJ has gone down a bit in my estimations as he never seems to see things we do, I know a lot of managers are like that, I mean Danny Wilson has got the personality of a chip
