Listened to about 5 mins, the more he opens his mouth the clearer it becomes that he doesn't seem to understand or appreciate there's issues. If he doesn't understand the problems then they'll never be fixed.

Have to agree it’s another PR gaff. Just waffle, no substance, nothing to cling to as hope going forward. I understand he is not a football person, I understand English is not his first language why then not appoint a spokesperson who can communicate for him. Why was he not asked about points deduction and possible relegation as a scenario? Poor journalism.

Owen now saying the full interview is 8am tomorrow.

 

No idea why it's been embargoed. More shit to come today?

He clearly hasn't watched us play.

This is so ****ing worrying.

 

The fact he knows so little about football and just wants us to play like what he thinks his idea of Manchester City is. It's just excruciatingly bad.

 

His level of intelligence worries me. Let alone footballing knowledge.

It's infuriating that he is looking for a manager to fit into an out of date identity that he envisages rather than getting in a manager that knows you need more than one tactic to win games.  

While he's half joking, the flippant way he says if we're not promoted this season we'll just do it next season shows the blase attitude in the boardroom.

Likely embargoed by the club to allow all journos to release at the same time. RL were one of many interviewing top that day it seems.

I am one of those who backs the BBC, so I would say they have never had to bend over to an interviewee before. Stringer got his marching orders from Pearson, but that was mostly personal and the BBC weren't banned. 

If they say it wasn't staged or edited, I am going to be that person in the camp that believes that. I know others won't though.

My fear is that Steve Cooper was sacked purely because he wasn't fully implementing how they wanted this Russell Martin ball to look. As shit as Cooper was, and all the data suggests he'd still have taken us down, he at least entertained the idea of pragmatic tactics. 

 

You get the feeling whoever we appoint will be of the 300 passes between centre backs, make Plan A work better if Plan A doesn't succeed bullshit that the likes @RedSoxUK spaff over into their text books.

The worst part is that Manchester City play like that because they have the best players in the world in their respective positions and playing like this is the most efficient way to win football matches.

 

This ***** wants us to play like that because it looks cool.

On the Stringer situation, the whole team and management staff stopped speaking to him and we got zero local radio access for years. The BBC weren't banned yet they thought it adequate to send no one else to interview him. Great use of our money again. 

 

And on your last point, yeah the BBC never lie do they

[Foxes1]

So if we miss out on promotion this season he wants to go for it next season, where from league 1.

the BBC is an organisation. It can't lie, or speak the truth. It's journalists try their best to find the truth, but the truth is often hard or impossible to find. Do people working for the BBC make editorial mistakes? Of course they do. Often all of us are guilty of saying 'that's a great article/story' when it reinforces our worldview. We it doesn't, it's all to easy to accuse it of bias.

[kingfox]

Comes across very naive in that interview snippet, just far too inexperienced to be running a football club, seemingly his lack of knowledge on the game also doesn’t help matters. 
 

Supposedly we were making changes to our football operations, where are they? 
 

We need a new sporting director asap, Top clearly needs better help or he might as well sell up. 
 

Unfortunately it’s difficult to have faith that they’ll get the sporting director appointment right.

What Aiyawatt thinks is cool. Which just goes to show how out of touch he really is.

 

In reality it's the antithesis of cool. This bloke supposedly watches our games (I'm convinced he doesn't) and still wants to persist with this so-called "identity" is baffling. It's a ****ing atrocious brand of football and fast becoming a philosophy of a bygone era and he really has no idea. 

 

I think half of what he comes out with are just platitudes that he thinks fans want to hear because he's terrifyingly naive.

If they are pissing off people on both sides I say that means they are being impartial as they can be. I always sit politically that they favour the side I don't, but the other side also claim the same, so there is always a middle ground and if you were pleasing everyone, you are doing something wrong.

Not sure people's conspiracy theories about the BBC run as deep as Owynn but the conflation did make me laugh.

Can someone tell Palmer-Atkin that he doesn't need to say 'football club' constantly. We understand context. If you just say 'club' we're not going to be sitting here wondering what the **** you're talking about

Pretty sure he was doing that for Top’s benefit. Didn’t want him going off track talking about his beloved polo club.

I think half of the problem stems from this being the ideal way to play in the era where he actually seemed to give a ****.

 

As you said, that brand of play seems to be losing popularity and those that play that way seem to be falling behind.

If would be good to know whose advising him and putting the words in his mouth .... although it wouldn't take much working out 

[Legend_in_blue]

I cannot understand and get my head around how he thinks promotion is still on the cards.

 

And if that doesn't work out, laugh, shrug it off and get promotion next year instead.

 

He'll be lucky to see us get promoted in League 1 the way things are at present.

 

Read the room!!!
