It's perhaps a small point in the wider scheme of things, but I get annoyed when tv coverage, live or highlights, is interrupted to show pictures of the manager(s) while the game is going on. No objection to such 'interludes' during stoppages, but I think it's very poor directing, esp during the limited time of recordings, to take attention away from the match itself.
I guess the tv people think we're all as obsessively fascinated by the personalities in the dug-outs as they and the rest of the media seem to be and that therefore they don't want to disappoint us by not providing us with what they deem to be more 'emotional interest'. If they only knew...
"For Christ's sake, get back to the game!" I yell at the screen.
Any comments?

When Peter Jackson was briefly our manager, I used to watch him more than the matches. Though that's not saying all that much given the nature of football on offer.

When I was a kid, most people couldn't even name the managers of most clubs.
People would know the obvious ones, like Clough, Revie or The Doc..... But wouldn't be able to name say the Villa manager or Chelsea or Spurs. Maybe it's because nowadays we have 24 hour Sky sports news and Talksport radio. They got nothing to talk about for hours or even days, because nothing is actually happening, so they talk sh1yte all day about the managers |

sometimes the managers do interesting things and its worth keeping an eye on them
jose waving at newcastle fans during the game for example its odd that tv companies choose to show managers when the ball is in play |

Tv companies think its part of the production these days. Anything that happens abroad is eventually copied over here. Germany presents its football pitchside , so ITV started doing it. Spain puts focus on managers so its the same here. Wont be long before they are interviewing players walking off the pitch at halftime like they do in France.
