[Albion] Roberto’s press conference

[Weststander]

Wonder if this universal love for a blunter, more direct press conference style (x is playing, y needs to work harder, understanding what fans care about) survives a run of poor form.

Heart on sleeve and openness is generally a good thing. In a world where players and managers are kept apart from fans (bar orchestrated musings on social media), imho it’s nice to know what’s in the manager’s mind. Results come first of course, but it builds a bond.

I saw this just before I was about to post the same thing. Any excuse to bash Potter even in threads not about him. Obsessed indeed.

Obsessed? You must be having a laugh!

I’m still not forgetting when he refused to pose for a pic with me 4 times throughout a whole day. Only respect I had for him after that was the well kept front lawn and that cat he had.
Otherwise, bellend!

Or throw a handful of loose change at the Palace fans!

You say that, just noticed this (front right) from one of the stills the club has used on their Matchday preview

The cut head or West Ham tattoo?

RDZ is going to be pure box office tomorrow

Am really hoping to see him running down the touch line celebrating a winning goal or 2 for us ! Fancy him to rile up the Palace faithful. Worth backing him to get carded !

Don’t know what’s worse to be fair?

We'll never know!!

Yes I really couldn’t stomach the awkward teeth sucking fella who had the personality of a snail.

Who would of said the word respect 5 times towards the opposition , as opposed to ZERO from who only used it to refer to PV , he let them know we are good and coming for you best pre-match ever , thanks RDZ

 

[TugWilson]

What a joy to hear our manager not just going through 'cut and paste' statements at press conferences. I know his English isn't quite there yet but you certainly understand exactly what he means

I think his English in this instance is exceptional , he said exactly what he wanted to

I’m sorry… what? Would you mind (re)telling this story?

hey those lego bricks are expensive and that stand wont build itself .

 

[Amexarmadillo]

i used to think Leeds fans were a bit weird in their Bielsa live but I think I’m actually losing it over this guy. Am I alone?

Not having a laugh at all, and I wasn't thinking of any of your posts, so I don't mean you. I think we all know who the obsessed one or two are.

I don't know what was said between you and him, but that does look bad what you say about refusing to pose.

I very much admired his work for us but lost all respect for him with the way he left and took so many with him including ones who had been with us before he came to us. Bellend? Yes!

No worries. I knew it wasn’t directed at me. Just making a shit joke of being his stalker

I’m sure you’ve posted more context elsewhere on here, but from the above in isolation, I have to ask, were you meant to be on his property?!

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

The bit about he knows from a fans point of view, it's all you think about all week, as he was/is a fan himself, spoke volumes.

I was going to post something about that too. Potter did very well with us. He is irrelevant now.

Some managers have to take a special course at Leeds Poly to try and gain a pass mark in Emotional Intelligence. Other managers just instinctively have emotional intelligence and wear it on their sleeve every day they go to work

Why not just celebrate our new glorious leader rather than take cheap jibes at his predecessor, who actually played a massive part in getting us where we are now?

not angry! Just baffled.

It’s a bit like at school when a kid picks on another kid all the time and won’t let them go because they actually FANCY them.

This needs to be on a banner in the stadium.
