Rafa v Sky Sports Italia

[Rosco]

So seemingly Rafa is in a bit of a strop with the Sky pundits and is giving shitty interviews to them.

'Napoli coach Rafael Benitez boycotted broadcaster Sky Sport Italia after Sunday night's 2-2 draw with Inter Milan in protest at recent criticism.

Benitez was described as disrespectful by studio pundit Massimo Mauro a week ago after he had given gave a series of monosyllabic answers following Napoli's 1-0 defeat to Torino.

Benitez referenced Mauro's comments in midweek during preparations for the Coppa Italia tie with Lazio before snubbing the TV channel entirely on Sunday.

"Napoli seem to think we have a hidden agenda, they think it's a conspiracy," Sky studio analyst Zvonimir Boban said as Benitez gave an interview to rival broadcasters Mediaset in which he was much more talkative than he had been seven days ago.'



Regardless of whether he's right or wrong in this instance - isn't it the only way to deal with a cunty media outlet? Should their role have to involve dealing with the media at all?

I remember Kenny doing something similar in an interview at least once.

It must be a fucking nightmare having to deal with these agenda-driven, narrow-minded, desperate, controversy-manufacturing soundbite-hungry dicks every week. The funny thing is how surprised and bemused these cunts seem to be when someone who is by definition a more successful, single-minded person than them gets the hump with them. I wish more managers would tell them to fuck off and treat them like the garbage they are.

I agree, but aren't you ultimately creating a problem for yourself - because when you hit a bad spell all of those people you've made enemies of will be talking about how its all your fault.

That catches on quickly in a fan base and then it's curtains for you.
