Really liking them - he's up there with Klopp and Bobby Robson for manager interviews for me
Interesting that he doesn't focus on the football, but a broader view of the club - hence talking about 'tone', respect for the pitch, respect for all members of staff etc etc
An unsurprising difference from his predecessor, but also a distinctly articulate voice with very interesting insights
All in all a chap who is very easy to warm to
No idea whether that will translate into footballing success, but (like with his predecessor), I'm finding what he's bringing to the club very interesting

Got a mild West Country accent too, which is sort of endearing

There haven't been many as I recall, but Ollie is pure Bristolian whereas Tisdale is more Bath, or is that Baath?

I am liking the new manager, he's articulate, has a soft calm disarming aura about him, and If i was a young player I would hang on to his every word. In his interview he said the players are listening to him, which by defination, he's commanding their respect.
He's not going to be a TIZWAZ any TIME soon but a TISSOT - just WATCH him go!

He still won't go to bed with you.

Another good interview. Articulate and well mannered. Reminds me exactly of what Harry Redknapp is not.

Like the o p.
I think it's a honeymoon period for us atm, we've had 3 game winning run that will face sterner tests v Charlton and Pompey, so will see how he responds when the chips are down and opposition hit the back of the net more often than the advertising boards because they're through on goal again.
I think the mark of a good manager is to use strengths, hide weaknesses and help turn things your way..... PT appears to have done some of that on the pitch, and off the pitch with charm, but the real test is when it goes wrong and some will be upset that his new flat cap doesn't look right..

He looks decidedly Boss as he strolls across the luscious green catwalk in the glare of the floodlights to take his bow in front of the dugout. Compare with Coughlan who strutted across the pitch in his size 47 Pumas and tights so tight they'd fit inside a drainpipe. I like a manager who's a cut above the rest. Ancelotti is said to go rummaging at opera house jumble sales to find his match day garb. |
