One question and one only concerning Oscar...

The_Viper · Nov 2, 2013

Why doesn't he attend many post press conferences?

I don't mind Jones and he obviously knows his stuff or else he wouldn't be allowed, but I wanna hear from the man himself.

Learning the language maybe?
Alex Fergie style of almost always sending the assistant?
Just his thing?

Great result today!

Only been here 4 months. His English is decent, but he's probably not confident enough to give a decent interview yet.

Maybe its still the fallout from the last bloke

He doesn't enjoy the limelight and prefers to let his team do the talking on the field? I'm not missing the blame the ref the budget and anything else that springs to mind press conferences after a defeat and a slightly smarmy smug one after a win.

Very true, and the inane questions posed by interviewers don't help matters. Listening to the guy quizzing Garcia pre-match against Watford was painful and cringe-worthy. I mean, the way they ask some of these questions are just bizarre.

Post match interviews appear on Seagulls Player.

He always does a post match on the seagull player, but he probably feels the time is better spent with the players immediately after the game and just sends out Jones for the first reaction.

Maybe this is a Barber ruse to get more people paying for Player?

He also isn't blaming the injuries to players, which our previous manager would have had a field day over.

Watch Poyet's interview ----- quality Gus :drama:

It's shown on the FLS as well.

Willy Dangle · Nov 2, 2013

He's had a massive fall out with the board and Reading, Fulham and a few other prem clubs want him and his side kick Ego the brave.

He no longer wants anything to do with players, club staff or fans and wants a huge pay off as an out from his contract.

He also wants a frigging big cake and guess what he wants to eat it as well.

Oh sorry did you say Oscar my mistake.

Love the bloke
Not sure if he's suffering from indigestion

after the game or patting his heart towards the Albion fans after today's game

He spoke after the Watford game, and his English is now pretty good. Unlike that tosser Pochettino at Southampton, who still needs an interpreter after twice as long in his job. And a crap interpreter at that.

Sloe Joe · Nov 2, 2013

Oscar is a cool dude. Those who say the least become enigmatic and the less they say, the more impressive they become.
OG can speak good English but would rather his team do the speaking, whether they put in a good or bad shift.
Quite right.

BensGrandad · Nov 2, 2013

I dont think that his reluctance to take the press conferences is down to his command of the English language as I personally can understand him better than could Gus who was difficult to understand as he became excited.

Not quite. The reason isn't as related to language as you think, but more candid and frequent press conferences will come in time, (including a podcast!), but not just yet.
