I think Jolley comes across somewhere on the very thin line between a cool and calm interviewee and someone who's very cold and likely to snap at any point.

Like forza says that's often down to the outcome of the game.  After the Notts County game last season when we had confirmed survival he was at his most candid.  

You can tell he's bored of the repetition of the questions and it wouldn't surprise me if he has a rant at some point.  He's clearly well coached in how to deal with the press, his repeating of the question is a great stalling tactic and he often uses this to avoid actually answering the question.

It's a weird one for me.  I got bored of Hurst's mundane press conferences so then Bignot was a breath of fresh air, but he soon became a farce and embarrassing.  Then Slade started off as a happy medium, he was cautious but confident enough to give enough information away to keep interest.  Of course as soon as the pressure on him increased he became very withdrawn and his final interviews sounded like those of a mad man!  

Jolley knows how to play the game far better than any of his recent predecessors but he doesn't exactly grab my attention or make me want to listen to an interview with him.  One of the benefits of giving interviews is that it's effectively free advertising for the club, Jolley's guarded style doesn't really lend itself to that but I like that he doesn't give it the usual 'yeah we're in the market for this player and this player' stuff that just leads you to having false hopes.  When we do make a signing it's usually a surprise and often a welcome one.  I can only really think of Davis as someone who was touted as a potential signing since Jolley arrived.


Spot on and I’ve no idea why this received so many red crosses. As you say, forza’s initial comments are right on the money - will talk freely when we’ve done well, will divert at length when we don’t.

Don’t have a problem with this, he’s just more on the ball and we’ll trained than most football managers in this area.  But we’re still being played - he just does it rather well.

Adkins must be an interviewers dream. You ask him one question and he witters on for about 10 minutes!

Sol Campbell spoke at his amazement that, as the greatest mind in football, he wasn't offered the job.

Bullet dodged big style there...
MJ has a great way with media, I do think anyone would get sick of hearing the same questions asked at every press conference and he bats it off nicely but at some point he will snap and that clam.demeanour will explode...would love to know if he gets in the players faces and gives them rock all or stays calm and collective whilst giving them a right royal rollockibg, which, in fairness, none of our players would have deserved on recent performances
