Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

[the other bob wilson]

On the club website now - I really don’t think he’s doing himself any favours with the way he goes about them.

Re: Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

I'm sure I saw a think bubble appear with the word "Idiots" on several occasions. Perhaps a role as an assistant manager somewhere would suit our cockney curmudgeon; then he won't have to talk to so many people.

(I realise he's technically not a cockney).

Love the reference to Curmudgeon - ironic given the numbers of Curmudgeon on this board

The journalists must hate him, if Warnock or McCarthy snapped at them for doing their job by asking simple questions like will Sean Morrison play this week then I'm sure they wouldn't like it but at least those two have been around and earned their stripes. Morison's been a manager for 2 months and has an average points haul of 1 per match with 2 goals conceded

Re: Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

I remember when he took over he said something along the lines of Tom Ramasut being more comfortable coaching so Morison would do the media stuff as he'd be better suited. Somehow I don't think Ramasut would have dealt with the media so poorly

What I don't understand is people calling this stuff "refreshing" or "honest", he's just being rude especially considering he's had a pretty easy ride from the press, they could be a lot more vicious and I wouldn't blame them with the way he speaks to them.

That was such a weird response, he'd snapped at Philips earlier for asking questions about transfers and not the game as well. What do you want him to ask about then Steve?

Massively out of his depth.

Re: Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

I really want to like him, but he's too busy burning a reputation he hasn't earned yet. Thrown into a tricky situation nqat. But he's acting like he's got mourinho's CV.

My main advice on careers is: try to smile as much as possible. There are countless people in the world better equipped to do the job you are getting paid for, but if you smile a lot and people like you doing the job they tend to be forgiving when you mess it up. Which we all do, quite often. Plus life is short and walking around being Mr serious is just a bit silly.

We're a gnats dick away from a major flounce out of the press conference. Personally, I think they'll goad him soon just so they can get the story, which will be much more interesting to write than anything on the pitch.

It certainly won't take much considering how he reacts to standard questions

A Steve Morison press conference is like being on the set of a Guy Ritchie film. I half expect him to pull out a sawn-off shotgun!

His ego is far bigger than his ability.

Re: Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

I don't think that it was particularly Prickly. He got a bit arsey about his three at the back,but that was about it in my opinion.

Re: Another prickly media appearance by Steve Morison

I read the comments on here before watching the press conference was expecting a series of Roy Keane-like rants.

He does though have a lot to learn as a first team manager in front of the press and they will sure know what buttons to press in future chats.

He did seem pretty relaxed about things though but ultimately results will seal his fate.
HUGE game on Sunday!
