It's not really though is it? It always operates by group think and given that they had been hyping him last year (when arguably he did exceed the expectations of the club he was at) and slagging off Rafa all we are seeing is collective intellectual inertia. It's not helped by the fact that when people venture interesting opinions in the media they are generally slaughtered for it."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

The fact that he's British also helps quite a bit.Originally posted by dww View PostIt's not really though is it?

It's true but it didn't help McLaren once the media turned on him. The thing is to have friends in the press corps I think. Obviously it is harder for foreign managers to have that as they are most likely to be coming in from outside. Wenger has gone a long way to break that problem down by talking to them very openly and freely.Originally posted by banditos View PostThe fact that he's British also helps quite a bit."The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind."

But it seems that England managers are fair game, England should be winning the world cup after allOriginally posted by dww View PostIt's true but it didn't help McLaren once the media turned on him.

As you say I think it does depend how many friends you have in the press, but I can't really think of too many British (club) managers that have got alot of stick from the press in recent years, perhaps this is partly because there are so few British managers at the big clubs (where there is most pressure).The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

completely agree, harmless comments that have once again been blown epically out of proportion, not everything is a witch hunt and not everyone has an agenda.

have any of your previous portents of doom come to pass?Originally posted by Lee View PostI have a bit of a horrible feeling that Lucas is only a mistake or bad game or two away to be replaced by Poulsen and then sold on.
Dunno why, I just think that sooner rather than later, Roy will choose Poulsen over Lucas and flog him.
