ClydeTon Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 He says this days after beating Frankfurt 2-0; a club who won the Europa League in 2021 () and pumped Bayern Munich 5-0 the weekend before. Dead Rubber, but still. Frankfurt are a strong side. Interviews like this should be a sackable offense. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, presumably they didn't "run the whole game" against Frankfurt either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the sort of attitude to playing in Glasgow that disgusted Fergie when he first took charge. He was quick to weed out any players who had that ‘a draw is a good result’ attitude. He would even rage at his players when they won the cup as in 83. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real he's been on a shoogly peg for weeks and this was probably one of his last chances to win back the crowd, saying something like this has probably killed off what little goodwill fans had for him left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fanbases wouldn't be combined; they'd be lost, with such a merger team playing to lower crowds than either Edinburgh City or Spartans get at the moment. All players would have got a contract? That would be some size of squad and some wage bill. Utter unsustainable right away. Also, loathe as I am to defend Doncaster, I imagine he didn't say that at all.

I would probably rather the manager just cracked on with his usual job rather than having in the back of his head he was being constantly recorded, and if not my team I think I’d really rather just watch the match . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 If Neil Lennon ever returns to management that could be an experience. "Head Coach Nick Montgomery will wear a microphone during the match, enabling fans watching at home to hear his specific coaching from the sidelines. He will also speak to the commentary team as the game goes on. Alongside this, Sergio Raimundo will wear a bodycam to give a first-person perspective of the team on the pitch from the dugout" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst i'll admit to being interested in hearing what the managers are actually saying, TV companies only try this nonsense on leagues that they see as diddies, so they should in fact be told to f**k off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
