[Suggestion] Pundits and their influence on the game

I think there's a lot of room to include pundits from the likes of BBC, BT, Talk Sport and Sky Sports etc. They could really help add an extra layer to the pressure that comes with management.

Not only that, but you could be asked questions in press conferences regarding what they've said on their respective shows, or what they've tweeted out on social media about the following:

- Your ability as a manager, your character, your standing in the game, your history and major honors, something you recently said, or the quality of the job you're doing (both week to week and in general)
- The size and quality of your squad, and how much/little has been spent, both in your time there as a whole or in the most recent transfer window
- Your tactics along with your first team selection and match result, whether it be in your most recent match or throughout the season as a whole
- The state/stature of the club in general and any tension that may be brewing between any three of you, the fanbase, and/or the board.

They could also have a big presence in the social media lounge by interacting, maybe even sometimes arguing with you, your club's supporters, your players, or even with each other, depending on the personality of the pundit. If they're stubborn they may stick to their words, whilst alternatively they may genuinely apologize if proven wrong, or back-track in a more slimy manner if that's in their nature.

Pundits could be a tool that can create/destroy narratives about you, your players, your board, and everything about your club. If there's no pressure, one might get the ball rolling. If there is pressure, they might come to your defense depending on your relationship with them.

Like the idea. 

According to the debate on interviews...

... it would be important that you can really 'feel' or see the impact of some (media) pundits on your management and relationships. Not every time, not in every situation, not at every club - but at least in success critical situations. there should be a balance between just noise/trash and real influence.
