sport journos aren't the brightest of the journo bunch anyway.
It will come as a great shock to you I'm sure that I have a sports journalism background ;)
Generally they have their story outlined before the interview and then just ask leading questions to confirm what they've already decided to write and get the headline they want.
This is exactly correct, but that's such an archaic way of doing things in this era where the game report column is so much less central to the industry (it retains a bit more purchase in the UK, but still).

And that's no excuse for the post-match interviewers, whose methods honestly totally confound me.

This could be done much better.
 
If it was to be him he would have been in the Spurs job by now. He has been free, fully rested, ready to get back into a job, has been seemingly making plenty of noises about wanting to manage in the PL. There were no obstacles to Levy appointing him, but here we are still without a manager and no sign that the situation will change anytime soon.

They may have been talking to him all this time but not making it public to respect Mason and keep him motivated.

The least levy owes Mason for stepping in twice and being loyal is that minimum respect. Luis Enrique probably didn't want to start until the end of the season anyway.

Not saying it's him but the club have said all along they weren't deciding until the end of the season. Chavs didn't even announce Poch until the last game.

Now, it's taking too long.
 
This could be why they are looking for less established coaches.

Almost certainly the likes of Nagelsmann and Luis Enrique will demand Kane stays for the season at least.

Slot and Posty wouldn't make that kind of demand.
I have no idea what Levy's intention is with Kane.

But unlike so much of the nitty-gritty squad management, that isn't, shouldn't be, and can't be the manager's call.

That's a Levy decision. It's a Joe Lewis decision, really. That is a club grand strategy-level question.

Conte and Jose both apparently agreed to come on the provision `kane stayed. Wouldn't surprise me if a prospective manager asked for assurances to commit. The higher profile the manager is, the more justified they will feel asking.

But tbh it looks like Kane will be around next season anyway.

Imagine if we got him because Kane likes him.
 
I haven't seen Mrs Perryman Mrs Perryman post too much the last few days. Deep in negotiations?

Unfortunately CarrieFi CarrieFi is not under consideration, because she is expected to demand The Absolute GOAT The Absolute GOAT as her assistant, and that will piss off half the supporter base.
I tend to avoid next manager and transfer threads, so frustrating!
Anyway, I had to sign an NDA, so my lips are sealed.
Seriously, things are so bad, I honestly don't think I could do a worse job.
