strangeboy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 One of the questions I get at press conferences that really annoys me is the "Who do you think will win the title?" Of course, I always pick my team, yet my players don't seem to like that answer:( Whom I supposed to pick then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oypus Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I do "no comment" earlier on in the season, but then towards the end, it's always my team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomer Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Depends on what team you are and what the expectations are. Never pick a rival though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Taylor Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I do "no comment" earlier on in the season, but then towards the end, it's always my team. My team gets upset if I say no comment, saying 'thinks his manager should be more amibitious' or 'thinks his manager should speak what's on his mind'. They also get upset if I say my team: 'doesn't think the manager should put more pressure on the team', and if I say another club: 'doesn't think the manager should be praising the opposition'. I just can't win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I chose Man City when they were 17 points clear with 7 games left, and some of my players were unhappy about it. I just say "no comment" to every question at conferences now, their reactions are nonsensical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scab Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'd recommend not getting too hung up on individual bad reactions, that's sort of the nature of the beast. Aim for a majority of positive reactions based on the personality of your squad (player personality determines how they react to what you're saying) and try to form a squad of similar-minded players. It makes both the media handling and team talks a lot easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantae Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I usually will storm out of the interview, kick over a table and spout vulgarities. I like to think I am not a people person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4L Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I chose Man City when they were 17 points clear with 7 games left, and some of my players were unhappy about it. I just say "no comment" to every question at conferences now, their reactions are nonsensical. It's only nonsencical if the same player(s) get upset by opposite answers. Oh and what Scab said.

ensar13 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 when your goal is not to be winner, then chose the holders. And after some winns, when you are in the top4, then you can tell the journalist who is the real winner of the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edle Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I refuse to answer those questions. In fact go one better and send your ass man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiu21 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I refuse to answer those questions. In fact go one better and send your ass man. And watch him pick your rival. They seem to do that a fair bit of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 An even more pointless question that I keep getting is 'Who do you think will win World (European?) Player of the Year? In my 10th tier part-time village job, what do I care about that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
