josh_latics Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Oh dear oh dear....his initial aim is to make sure this team stays in this division........... Discussing a fight against relegation before a ball is kicked? Ranieri's first press conference last year. He wanted one more point than the previous year. http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/huge-turnout-for-ranieris-first-press-conference-2559649.aspx Pretty sure Dazzler aimed for promotion. Of course his first goal is staying up. We've released 90% of the squad, it's his first job in management, and we needed a near-miracle last season.

ghostofcecere Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think the problem was the press conference happening so long after the appointment. We've already had the usual sound bites. Anyway I'm impressed with him so far, and I'm actually looking forward to the start of the season now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bozman Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I thought he came across very well again. You can hear on the video that the journalists were all going to be granted a 1 to 1 with him if they wanted it. It's understandable that they would want to save their best questions for their private interviews, so they can generate some unique content for their media outlet. It's not like a Jose Mourinho press conference where their only opportunity to ask him anything is in front of everybody else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nohairdontcare Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 It's quite possible that - once the cameras were off - the journalist/s had more time with the manager off camera and they asked some better questions then. If they work for a print newspaper they might want a line that's not already live on facebook - hence the easy questions earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulNTom Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Is that the best the press can come up with? After the last couple of months they should have been bombarding him with questions. It was like they weren't listening to his answers and asking him the same old :censored: over again. He sounds positive though and I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

OAFCMIKE Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) It was a press conference to introduce a manager.... What were people expecting? If journo's ask :censored: questions that's not anyone's fault is it? Lets be positive about the fact that he is positive. He actually helped the journos by giving better answers than the questions deserved. I like the fella so far. As Bozman says, you don't want to throw your best questions into the general section for everyone if you've got a separate interview on your own. And I thought mine were alright!

And I thought mine were alright! To be fair to you, you were the only one who did ask an interesting question (2 in fact) in the press conference. I assumed you were better prepared than the rest and had more kept back for your 1 to 1. Although, I guess the Daily Mail will be less inclined to give little Oldham many column inches compared to the local press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornishblue Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think every managers initial aim is to to keep the club in division. Get to the 50 point mark and if that is Jan or Feb reevaluate. If that is the 46 game then he has achieved his aim. There is no point in saying we are going to be promoted as it will only make him look a fool if he doesn't achieve it. Yes every manager, coach, chairman & fan wants their club to be at the top end of the division but let's be honest we don't have the budget or yet the players to be thinking like that. I fully support the new gaffer when he says "Get the building blocks and foundations in place and then make progress" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
