Quite easy from your position to say, what about when his boss questions him why he's lost/losing access to the club?


Yea none of these questions will come form him and I dont expect them too.

What I dont understand is why no one else in the press conferences (which he bound by contract to have) ask why he would leave 2 players on the bench, and whether he is thinking about overworking certain players and destroying the confidence of others

They're all a bit scared of him but also like being on the RL writer circuit. They don't want to find that they're suddenly not included in the circulation for stories and rumours. Bunch of bloody cowards.

In Bradford the local paper correspondent fell out with the coach (Lowes) and the the owner (Green) so much that they stopped speaking. Some players fell out with him too. It got to the stage where articles had barely concealed antagonism. Nobody came out of it well.

It's not just RL though. Ask a football manager a few awkward questions and all of a sudden he doesn't talk to the BBC anymore.

Does he still do the after game Q&As in the long bar? Ask him then (whether an approved question that is allowed) or by shouting it out). It did my tree in last week we were using 15 when our opponents in most other games are using 17 (as entitled). I couldn't understand either decision; when we were 8 up even putting Burrow on made sense as Saints looked leggy and I expect he could have got through and put the game out of distance had he only been on about 7-8 minutes as they were blowing at that point.

I don't get to supporter events anymore but what needs to happen is for people to be asking the questions of him; whether players, support staff, journalists or fans. We don't know about the first two, but the third set aren't. The fourth have been bringing it up online for years so maybe they / we need to ask him. If you see him in Morrisons or a fan Q&A go and ask. I will if / when I bump into him as it has wound me up too long now! Cutting his nose off to spite his face.

What do people actually expect??? He did get asked about an unused before I think it was 2/3 years ago and he just brushed it off with an answer that didn't really explain it and you'd get the same if you asked today so you or a journalist would just be wasting your time.

So it's fine that McDermott is arrogant and egotistical when his decisions and opinions don't match yours and others :lol:

McDermott has always been heavy on giving the credit for the successes during his time to the players, other staff and management.....whilst his detractors said we won titles in spite of him and it was all down to the players simply because of their previous writing off of him. I know which one sounds more arrogant and never wrong.
