I must say, and I really like Jason, but this is mostly word salad and not particularly cogent. I think it’s because he wanted to be respectful to Paul, which I completely get, and also, that’s quite a high-pressure, emotionally charged interview, but it is, if we’re honest, characterised by contradictions, masking, and a sort of vaguely expressed part acknowledgement of facts, complicated by loyalties and emotions. I really do get why, but it doesn’t make that much empirical sense.

Jason Stockwood has to deliver a statement that not only informs us he has sacked our manager but also pays respect to PH for what he has achieved, it was not easy and it was probably something he was hoping he would never have to do. His statement was delivered shortly after the game had ended so probably didn’t have a lot of time to prepare so I think he could be forgiven if his interview was not up to the standards some expected.

A bit like your post......you are Jason Stockwood and I claim my prize !!!!


It's an interview literally 15 mins after he has sacked what must feel like a member of his family.
The main points were made very clear,  the manager had been talking about rub of the green,  performances are good but not getting results but in reality ...we are flirting with relegation and the table (biggest data indicator) doesn't lie....Jason said about not waiting for luck to change but effecting it.....anything after that pretty much irrelevant.

Seemed fine to me? Not sure what the contradictions were that you’ve mentioned - said the underlying performances haven’t been bad but there’s something that the data isn’t telling us, as you can see from the results, and you can’t just sit around hoping for your luck to change (which seemed to be Hurst’s approach).

Spared the Doig hairdryer perhaps but gets double lawnmower instead!

Ok. I can accept that. Maybe it’s just how I’m hearing it. I’m maybe not perceiving or interpreting it clearly.

I can’t hear much because of the lawnmowers!!

I think they should sack the data analyists and with the money saved buy a camcorder with better sound recording and a light.
