That definitely went a bit sour and bad tempered... weird... I guess the pressure is already getting to Bignot But JT does come across as a bit stand-offish and awkward with how he asks his questions which doesn't help. I think Marcus probably wants a bit of banter and I don't think JT is that kind of guy.
I don't think anyone should have wanted 'a bit of banter' after that shower of shite. Didn't he notice how many were left by the end? (PS I only know that not many were left because I was back in the car and JT mentioned it!)

Does it really matter? Last week he was a tactical genius and we were heading for the play offs but because we got our ar$es handed to us he is now disrespectful and out of his depth. The extremes of opinion from one week to the next is really quite funny to read. We are a mid table team that will win a few, lose a few and draw a few. Sometimes we will exceed expectations and sometimes we will be put in our place on the pitch. The man is clearly frustrated and has a lot more expectation on his shoulders than he is used to. What he said was correct but some obviously don't want to hear it and think it may upset the players. I don't care about that either as a good proportion of them are not good enough to take us to the next level and probably won't be around for much longer. If this kind of result and reaction is still around this time next season, then yes, have a pop.

Sadly as much as people may not like it these days there is an expectation that managers "front up" (I hate that term) in the media after a game which is a product of 24/7 football. Regardless of who the manager was this season mixed results where always going to happen as we have just got back into the FL after what felt like a millennium in non league. This was a poor piece of broadcasting but as I said above it was down to both parties Marcus is still learning the sound byte bit of the job at this level but actually as an experienced broadcaster JT has done better in the past. Whilst in the car my dad thought MB came across as a bit of a "smart bottom" and "needed to remember he was representing Town on the radio" again another opinion of a paying supporter.

I don't think it was bad tempered but Marcus threw JT when he answered a question with a question. JT was then put off somewhat.

Its MB`s job to answer questions and JT`s job to ask them, not the other way round, have you ever heard it from any manager anywhere before I have`nt, JT should have blown him out of the water saying, Your the manager why are your tactics failing at home

GTFC like other clubs in the region have a very comfortable relationship with the radio & printed media and have had for years, as much as I loathe his style Dave Burns is the only one who asks anything like a challenging question.

We were just hammered 3-0 at home in a very poor performance on top of that he gave a very poor post match interview in which he tries to be biggy big balls and claim we lost the match due to Exeter having 10 men behind the ball so again as much as some agree disagree or sit on the fence then yesterday will always be a talking point in one way or another at any club.

Ive heard many managers reply with a question Wenger, Mourinho, Conti, Hurst, Warnock etc. Good way of deflecting things and putting the interviewer off his stride, standard technique for managers salemen and general business practice Also he was fairly honest saying how they have meaning we dont have box to box midfielders hence why he is looking at players like Osborne who from reports arer this type of player

Is it a "good way" ? some would say it's quite rude but Conti apart (he may do it I've just never seen it) is par for the course for the ones you mention above. I am an experienced senior manager who has worked in sales, commerce and with clinical professionals where answering a question with a question is considered unprofessional and not general business practice if you ant to remain credible in your field...................The Apprentice does not represent real life.
