Le Tissier's Nose Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I was wondering how the majority answer the press conference question, which pops up quite a bit each season, "Who do you think will win the league this season?" I am managing in the Southern Premier League and Salisbury under the AI are running away with it, they are 15 points clear at the top after 27 games. I got this question and answered "Salisbury" thinking it was pretty obvious really - they have kept the majority of their squad that were playing 2 divisions higher the season before! (they finished 12th in the Blue Square Premier but got relegated twice after going into administration) - BUT, some of my players deemed it inappropriate for me to be "praising other teams." So how should I have answered this to keep my players happy? "Banbury United of course - we are 19 points off the top but with games running out and Salisbury virtually never slipping up - I can see us pipping them to the title." Perhaps even if I had, my players would have got unhappy at my sarcasm? What's the majority verdict on how to answer this? Let me guess - "No Comment" :confused: :rolleyes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianboy8 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Until they improve the press conferences,the only viable answer to any prediction is "no comment"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It's more frustrating when you pick the side 15 pts clear and you are called a fool by the media, and that your prediction was foolish, because the team in first have a low rep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myth0logy Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 It can work both ways. Sometimes if I say "Norwich (me) will win it" sometimes players will react "doesn't think it's good to put pressure on team". Some players react in certain different ways - post match conference try an be positive about your players performances. No comment will get no reaction from the players.

ManUTactician247 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I usually pick the team that is top and it normally works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipknot67 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My answer is to have my ass. man do all press conferences, never go to them (except the new job ones) and never will, really wish they were removed as most Assistant managers are rubbish at them and destroy my teams morale.
