Patetisk av McDermott: Hvorfor lyve om noe så enkelt som klær på matchday!
The same doubt applies to McDermott who is fighting on under Massimo Cellino’s watch and against the backdrop of choice comments from the Italian. Last weekend,
McDermott said his decision to wear a tracksuit in a 2-0 win over Blackpool – replacing his usual shirt and tie – had been encouraged by his daughter. In an interview with an Italian newspaper on Tuesday, Cellino claimed the suggestion was his.
“I told him to go on the bench dressed that way,†Cellino said. “He is the coach, I am the manager.†United’s owner also took credit for the tactical use of Luke Murphy against Blackpool, a game in which Murphy scored twice.
Speaking yesterday, McDermott said:
“My daughter’s been on at me for the last year to wear a tracksuit. She’s always saying ‘get rid of the suit, get rid of the suit.’
“I made my mind up last week to make the change – before I spoke with Massimo on Thursday – but when we talked, he told me I should wear a tracksuit too. I said ‘actually, I’ve already decided I will.’“So there’s no conspiracy and nothing untoward. Frankly, what I wear on the touchline doesn’t matter anyway. The results matter – to all of us.â€
It is barely possible for McDermott to know where he stands with Cellino or whether he has any chance of seeing out more of his three-year contract. Cellino gave some insight about his vision on Tuesday, saying: “Italian coaches are the best in the world but I don’t want to immediately introduce an Italian structure to (Leeds).â€
Han burde vel heller stått frem og sagt at han ønsket å skifte til grilldress og at Cellino også ønsket dette. Isteden for å gi kreditten til datteren!
Som Cellino sier: Jeg kjører bussen! McDermott blir neppe med videre.
