I think he came in with a very tense answering style, but he suddenly mellowed and started saying “hi, how are you, top man” in a really forced way, like he has been told to curb it a little.

I mean i couldnt care less how he is with radio stoke as long as we keep doing what were doing

Agree.  For me he was having a bit of ‘banter’.  He has said from the off he won’t discuss team choice ahead of games or injuries, so he was just tickling Bowels ribs a bit for me

What happened for those of us no longer listening?

Phil asked him about the team for Harrogate and he just made a quip about Phil picking the team.

Don't think that there was much in it as he seems to make those sort of comments regularly in pre/post match interviews.  I suspect that if the interviewers spend a lot of time with him then they will get that. 

If nothing else I think that he's made it clear that he won't be drawn on those kinds of issues ahead of releasing the team sheet.

He comes across as he hates clichéd answers and journos annoy him. 

Only the other day I think it was Phil Bowers who he told he'd have to rotate over Easter. 

He's going to be a Marmite manager and how it goes all depends on results.

Exactly.  Storm in a teacup stuff.

Can’t moan about performance or result, so let’s moan about a flippant response to a question he has on numerous occasions said he won’t answer!

That's not the point. The problem is does he also naturally act so aggressively behind the scenes with club staff. Slippery slope. 

I mean if the performances in the last 4 games are to go off id say hes got a good relationship with everyone at the club. Its one question lay off the bloke stop nit picking for negatives about him

I thought that interview was really good. It's the one where he called Nathan Smith "a winner" and Smudge is certainly getting back to his best form, so DCs man management can't be that bad? I' doubt that he is a bit of a dictator / tyrant off the pitch, but I think he assumes that guise in interviews, sometimes - sees them as a necessary evil...a distraction, perhaps?

It isn't one question though is it, he's prickly in every interview. My gut feeling while listening to it is that there was no need to snap at the question like that, he's just won 4 in a row ffs. Deal with it.
