Just the headline is a bit odd isn’t it? ‘Unlikely promotion’.
I simply do not get this bitching and sniping at any positive press coverage for our rivals. What you are 'quoting' is not what he said. (Though I would concede that we only have his word for that) He said he was proud of the fact that they did not give a goal away doing that. In a 24 team competition there will be managers who are better than others and attract press attention. It's not reserved for the manager who tops the lesgue. Schuey has been deservedly getting positive coversge and McKenna does too. McKenna has much to be proud of, its just that our manager has more. I noticed some people criticising the positive attention Evatt got post Wembley. But he deserved it. On the day he got more right than Schuey. But ever since those roles have been reversed, and rightly so.
That’s the only bit that’s a little contentious - the rest is a fair reflection. McKenna is definitely one of the most exciting managers in the country, along with Schumacher.
Clearly sports reporting's loss is investigative journalism's gain.
