Pre-Millers Presser

[robbiez666]

No idea what's going on with the club. Not met anyone. No idea who is taking over.

Literally found out on deadline day that we weren't selling anyone

Doesn't know anything about the transfer embargo

Not a distraction

Not appealing Jebbo's sending off as don't have the evidence.

McAtee has kind of trained and come through it fine

Clark training for a couple of days. Needs to be built up

Fleck will start contact training next week

I think this is credit to hecky but not so to our current owners.

I think this has been the issue with all the managers under the prince. The dialogue isn't good enough. If it was I genuinely think crisis' and frustrations would have been averted.

Hopefully new owner will do better.

Poor bloke must be sick of these pressers - I know I am.
Totally unfair that he's shoved out to face the media when the owner , the Chairman & the CEO are conspicuous by their absence.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Can't expect anymore from a manager they are just employees they have temporary positions

 

[JT89]

These press conferences are pointless at the best of times, the boring, repetitive questioning just makes them even worse.

 

[10-0 win]

Never a good thing with the owner living faraway and hardly seen.

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Would you rather have an owner that lived on Charlotte Road as a nipper instead?

"No bigger Blade than me, Seth."

What's that? Eight grand and a friendly for 2 full backs? Deal

"As I was saying, no bigger Blade"

 

[chesblade]

Didn't answer about Baldock and Stevens. Exactly what is wrong with Baldock, not seen or heard what his injury is

 

[Charlieblade]

PH is quite right to slope shoulders and stick to football questions. He’s just the football manager.

If anyone wants answers about ownership or embargoes, pass them up the chain to the board/owners.

It was made very clear that Hecky = football and Bettis = business. If there are any issues with communication then that is down to Bettis to improve. The Prince and Yousuf were very clear they were stepping back and empowering those two.

Hecky does his obligated Press conference before each game. Bettis hasn't made bay comment since on hotels, training, transfer window summary, anything. He doesn't need to come out every week but he's hardly the most proactive communicator.

Got to be a better bet than clicking on any repetition of Nathan’s 60+ day old misinformation on ‘tother channel.

I wonder if Dozy is going to have a more hands on approach to running the club. Where do billionaire’s stay, when they come to Sheffield?

My Mam and Dad have my spare room it’s not been lived in a such for decades but he’d get tea and toast

Have we ever appealed a red card and been successful ?

100% agree

 

[RammyBlade]

What I like about Hecky is his directness - and dismisses anything that isnt football related - he's almost sarcastic albeit respectful when being interviewed.

 

[Ned the Donkey]

I think from a recent press conference both were injured in training, at least in part due to the pitches not being heated because the bill hadn't been paid. The actual nature of the injuries (ankles? - that's not much more than a guess) or timeline for recovery was, characteristically, vague.

 

[Ned the Donkey]

What I get from these is how much thought and planning goes into the matches. Obviously every team plans for every game, but his analysis always seems particularly clear sighted and well informed. And there's a plan, or even plans.

Football seems to have moved on a bit from Gerrit Forrads, even if perhaps the occasional spectator hasn't.

It's definitely a different game from the one I grew up watching in the 80s - and, looking back on it, possibly the person who made the most difference was Arsene Wenger(?) - but it's no worse off for that.

 

[frechyblade]

No didn’t appeal as there was no clear picture.

Cheshire. Or London. Helicopter, innit.

is that how the tax magnates of North Sheffield do it?

As has been alluded to elsewhere recently (can't remember where...) the poor bloke is literally the face of the club, and gets repeatedly asked all sorts in what should be a football manager's presser. It isn't on. The club need a face of the organisation, whether that should be Bettis or a director of football or anyone else.

I think we’ve just found out the ufo conundrum.
