Come on, there wasn't a tough question or a follow up in that whole interview. Everyone refers to football clubs in personal pronouns.

RS haven't asked a real question of any club, board member, or manager, in years.

I never said their was . McCabe is spikey in interviews. Better phrasing might have got more out of him but instead wound him up. His initial reply would suggest he could have been of the same opinion, bearing in mind how many accuse him of robbing the club and getting rich out of it.
 
Even if what an accusatory question (which I still don't think it was), when you offer to do an interview to clarify that very point, it's inappropriate and pretty bloody stupid to get angry at facing the very question you're there to answer.

I haven't said it was accusatory. He could have been asked "has the Murphy money been spent on the team" . McCabe getting annoyed is better for RS particularly with his antipathy towards them.
 
Maybe it would make for better radio, but RS' usual line is to soft ball every interview to keep themselves on the good side of clubs. Tough or unfair interviews aren't their usual tack, and almost every complaint of RS is that they don't ask tough questions or push for answers. If the question wasn't accusatory then McCabe should take it in the light it was intended.

And if McCabe can't handle such a lightweight reporter then it goes back to my original point in this thread: the board's PR is appalling.

He clearly can't. And second rate or not RS should be aware.
Only one person knows how it was intended though.
 
Didn't listen to the whole interview, what was the outcome, did McCabe steal the Murphy money?

You're getting him mixed up with Woolhouse and the Semi Final money.

McCabe ate Murphys Yorkshire Terriers and tipped his bin over three nights running. Or Paul Walker asked him if he did, I'm not sure now.
 
At the forthcoming Fans Forums we will all have the opportunity to ask full and frank questions.

I'd love to be at the Forum when a couple of the above posters make some of these comments to McCabe with an audience. I dare say an odd one might ask him whether he has pocketed any monies and he'll say categorically no, probably with some anger. It's the follow up question I'll be waiting for and maybe the next one after that.

As for media interviews these days, I'm afraid there's too much vetting of questions and too many staged answers, sometimes with anger for effect.

The recent McCabe interviews were prompted by Bohemian from here and maybe others. The whole point of the interview to my mind was to dismiss malicious rumours about KM taking out money and to state that the owners had actually subbed the club by millions this season. Of course the man's angry if he is accused of taking money out when he has coughed up millions of pounds.

Anyway I'm looking forward to the forthcoming Forums and maybe I'll be able to identify a few posters on here from the nature and strength of their questions and particularly their follow-ups, I'm sure they won't let KM off the hook lightly.

Rough him up and then have a photo with him?

If you're referring to me, I can only assume your ability to detect sarcasm is on the blink. Again.
 
But this is where the questions aren't questions at all: they're just accusations sporting an unconvincing disguise.

So tell us Mr McCabe why do the board lack ambition and sell our best player every year?

Don't worry we won't be selling our best players this year. There's pretty much no one left to sell.
