Stuart Interview

Yeah me too

I don’t know what it is but I can’t stand listening to him. Never mind respecting the point *shudder* (which is probably true at Wealdstone)….something just grates me about him, I don’t believe in him I think. I know it’s petty but the way he says “look….” before every sentence makes him unlistenable. Sorry Stuart, you seem like a good bloke, but I’ll be reading your interviews from now on.

I don't like listening to that Erik ten Hag bloke, so I switch him off or turn the sound down...So I respectfully suggest you do the same with Mr Maynard...Mind I must admit constantly saying "look" did get up my nose a bit...

These things are subjective I suppose, but I like what I've heard so far. He sounds articulate, warm, genuine and quite humble to me.

I must admit did laugh/cringe at the 'respect the point' line. I'm guessing it must be a mantra that's used either in Uefa or media training courses for managers, because it seems like a very specific and not entirely natural phrase that someone would just say off the top of their head. The sentiment is fine - a single point could be the difference between success and failure at the end of a season - but I preferred the Shankly way of expressing it: "Every game starts at 0-0... make sure it doesn't get any worse!"
