Not sure that's a fair point. Many of us have criticised professional journalists for stupid questions during the pandemic for example. Just in this case the objection is something really minor and unfair.

We don't then go on & on doubling down claiming we were in the right after the professional journo has given a perfectly reasonable & justified explanation (with which 99% of those on the thread have agreed) of why he asked the question in the first place though.

Phil, do you think their CB plans were thrown out of kilter due to them being supremely confident over Bradley only for that to then fall through?

Wonder if that made them go back to square one, which in turn means them having to wait for other clubs to start shuffling their packs.


I think they did think it was done and dusted, but that was ages ago now and they had plenty of other names on the list. Connolly was another big early target, of course.

Be interesting to see who they identify and bring in now, and wonder if that's changed due to Toto's injury and how Wolfie has played.

I think they knew they needed one. I don't know how long Toto is expected to be out but seems likely to be weeks rather than months.

Yes well aware of that, I was just showing how id personally have asked phils question today without going back to last season, sorry thought that was what you were asking me to do


That wasn't what I asked.

I asked what questions Phil could have asked that perhaps you'd be interested in hearing, where the answer is not obvious?

No I wouldn't have seen them getting back into the game and personally think that's an obvious answer so not sure why it was asked tbh. What was the hope " No chance, those guys were sht "

Of course as a Journo, entirely your choice what you ask and it's not for me to tell you not to obviously but just not surprised he hates press conferences when asked about last years squad which was clearly not good enough otherwise he wouldn't have shipped them all out.


It's not about whether Phil knew the answer or not. It's getting the manager's view on it. If you don't ask questions because you *think* you know the answer, you'll never make a journalist.

To be fair to Phil and makin, Cook isn't leaving journalists much to ask about. He doesn't want to talk about individual players, injuries, transfers, last season and probably more.

Funnily enough I did mine a couple of months ago and was in a similar state to him after doing it but I was back after a month and I'm a) not an athlete and b) about twice his age. But possible it could be longer, of course.

Have you ever felt hamstrung with your questioning of managers?

But obviously dissatisfied with ITFC related content as discussed by others - apparently now also including that of the pro journalist who owns and runs this (free) site.

Maybe apologising to him would be a better option than keeping on digging.

Just a suggestion.


Yes he has made himself look a bit of a t1t, but why should he apologise for having an opinion?
