It's from the Clough/Ferguson book of management. Except nowhere near as good.
Few journos on Twitter saying that they/colleagues at the press conference felt Pat Murphy was out of line.
Was interesting to hear the debate, but Murphy just kept pushing and clearly wanted a strong response out of Pearson. Fair play to Nige for keeping his cool.
**** Pat Murphy. Most journalists are shit-stirring so and so's. The likes of Fergie and Mourinho have been ranting at press conferences for years.
Any quotes anywhere that I can use in an argument with a journo Everton fan over here?Few journos on Twitter saying that they/colleagues at the press conference felt Pat Murphy was out of line.

Of course NPs behaviour has been unprofessional on several occasions this season. The real question is why is he doing it?
There can only be two explanations for such consistent nonsense. One that he's mentally unravelling due to the pressure. The other is that he's doing it on purpose to try to create a 'them and us' ethos among the squad.
Before last night, I thought it was the former but now I'm convinced it's the latter. He's deliberately berating press, fans, players, whoever. It's from the Clough/Ferguson book of management. Except nowhere near as good.
