I quite like this plain-speaking, no more Mr Nice Guy version of Ardley.

The interviewer wound him up with the first question, basically inferring it was all Ardley's fault because of the tactics. He was basically seething all the way through after that. Managers hate being challenged on that stuff

Not sure where the BBC get some of these interviewers from - the one that interviewed Ardley was pathetically poor

I'd assumed he was a club staff member from SM! If that was a BBC interviewer it was shocking.

He was an annoying little ****. Why these interviewers (he's not the only one) go in trying to show off how much they understand about tactics is like watching a car crash in slow motion. Just simply ask the questions not pose the answers, eg "How would you sum up today's game?".

Problem for NA is that he knows he's being recorded.

But then you get boring answers.

I don’t know enough about Solihull to know whether the interviewer was right or Ardley was right, but if they’ve started the season playing well in one formation, changed it for this game and then got comprehensively outplayed… it seems a fair question to ask.
