I like Matt Dean; he usually does good interviews, but I felt he just drifted slightly beyond the impartiality a journalist is supposed to maintain, and slipped a little bit into disgruntled fan mode.
Can't say I blame him after that performance.
We need a fans forum so the Manager and board can set about him then he will pipe down for a bit.

I was actually cringing at the radio tbh, not the questions he asked they were fine, more MDs tone, thought he was just overly aggressive and Artell did well not to cut him short in all honesty.

Matt Dean was bang on with his questioning and had every right to ask what most of us fans were thinking/wanted answers too!
Matt has always been 💯 and not afraid to pose difficult questions, equally, he will be the first to praise when it’s all gone to plan.
D.A. was quite salty tbf and I don’t think Matt was trying to provoke him for one minute!

But MD should know, or at least expect, that a Manager is not going to be critical of an individual player in public nor is he going to say Christ we face relegation with this group. Ask the questions once, just in case you get a scoup, but once DA has rebuffed it move on.

Ideally a manager/ football club and the Press should aim for a symbiotic relationship where the beneficial ratio is as near to 50/50 as possible. The reality is that the power / dependency relationship fluctuates and one party feels they are the weaker and try to achieve parity at least. It seemed that either Dean was trying to assert himself a little, Artell picked up on it and stimied by rambling about ''throwing it down the line'' etc. Knowledge is power apparently and perhaps RH no longer get a heads up on transfer matters or some such micro aggression. Don't really care, but there was an undercurrent. Bet Crofty knows all about it but 'could not possibly comment.'

Looks here like there is people that expect an interview to be professional, and ask questions, not try to make headlines and there are those that are angry and want to see DA punished because they need someone to blame. This is the not the first manager this year baffled by what some of these players are doing on the pitch. Football intelligence seems to be lacking. You could see clearly DA was upset, and didn't try to defend that display. He clearly gives a excrement.
An interviewer pushing for the word relegation, pushing for trial information that cannot be given without scuppering the deal, weakening the club or putting the club in a bad light, and trying to push for the boss to criticise players, is just poor class. This new BS school of journalism where the interviewers feel they're the stars needs to die.
I think there is valid criticism of MD to be had, but in a respectful manner.

I don’t think MD would have asked the question about Glennon or been so aggresive if he was still interviewing PH. I thought be was bordering on out of order.

I agree, and think Dean was out of order.

Shock horror - Football manager is a bit short when getting questions thrust in front of him minutes after his weeks work has gone down the pisser. We're all drunk off after a performance like that, you only have to look at here or social media to see how people instantly react. Imagine that when it's your job and then you get a microphone shoved under your chin straight away.
He's upset, he's emotional and he's probably trying to stop himself from screaming that if he had his way he would sack all the useless fornicators.
Matt Dean's doing his job but it was, slightly, unexpected owing to his and Humberside's usual quite chummy style of questions. Didn't think it was fair or expected for Artell to dig Glennon out and I actually think he responded well to that. Dean couldn't have grumbled if he found himself ignored with the trialists questions, there has to be an element of accepting when the interviewee doesn't want to proceed down that path. There's clearly reasons for it.
As with a lot of media that comes out or through the club, there's a massive overreaction and over analysing of it. I don't particularly care too much about what Artell says before or after games and I imagine it holds little relevance to what is said behind closed doors. It's more about what happens on the pitch, of which Saturday was utter shite.
