Hadn’t seen this. Agree with the sentiment; managers almost never start a conversation about a player unless 99% done. The questions are a waste of time. The window breeds this desperation for info, then they make stuff up anyway.
But this sort of belligerence and very specific criticism of a particular reporter is REALLY embarrassing. Shocking conduct. What an unpleasant demeanor he has when miffed. Would last approximately 4 minutes at Finch Farm before hiding in the bogs.
I genuinely don't see an issue with it to be honest, he's literally just said 'I'm not going to talk about any players who don't play for West Ham and i've said that to you before' and the bloke asks him about another rumour. What's he expecting him to say?!
