Cotterill should be banned from Old Trafford. Seems very bitter.

 

[Telsim]

What an absolute bellend. Ten Hag should do a Fergie and flat out refuse to speak to Sky Sports for the duration of his tenure.

 

[EtH]

Forget professional. I’m sure that creeped Erik out on a personal level. What a fecking weirdo.

 

[Man-United]

What an absolute bellend. Ten Hag should do a Fergie and flat out refuse to speak to Sky Sports for the duration of his tenure.

Not ideal because of the money Sky are paying, but he should definitely refuse to speak or take questions from Gary Cotterill ever. The tweet from Cotterill for me is the worst, he acts like a kid.

 

[Drainy]

Wasn't he told before the conference that he wasn't invited, then turned up anyway, wasn't invited to ask a question, but asked one anyway?

This is after Ajax and ten Hag said no questions about Man Utd and he went paparazzi mode on him..

 

[padzilla]

This comment from Cotterill is pretty poor:
"He didn't really want to say much did he? He’s going to have to get used to a slightly less laid back atmosphere than they have out here in Amsterdam."

 

[Red00012]

Sky will change it up and get someone else to attend pre match interviews.
What a cnut Cotterill is

That's what Cotterill does, Harry Redknapp's and Mourinho's best friends and think he can do whatever he likes.

Should be trespass warned from Old Trafford and Carrington then and prosecuted if he returns.

 

[Samid]

What an absolute bellend. Ten Hag should do a Fergie and flat out refuse to speak to Sky Sports.

He’s obligated to speak to them one way or another as they have the tv rights, unless he decides to send his assistent.

He should just continue to ignore this wanker, force Sky to change their ‘correspondent’. Why did they get rid of James Cooper? He was the only one keeping these turds relevant.

 

[Man-United]

Can you imagine James Cooper or Geoff Shreeves behave or even tweet like that? No of course not.

Cotterill think he's the most important person around, utter stupid tweet after the Brentford game from someone who works for Sky.

 

[Ish]

Ban him from OT.

Fair enough. Then they should find someone who is not a cretin. Tough job, that.

What a tosser. Ban this cnut from Old Trafford.

 

[Flexdegea]

What a tosser. Ban this cnut from Old Trafford.

Worse part is he totally deluded to think that loss has anything to do with him harassing ETH and it's payback because he got blanked.

The entitlement and self importance is actually incredible when you think about it.


Should be banned from Old Trafford.

 

[diarm]

He gets his oxygen from our clicks. If United fans stop reading his articles or turn over whenever he is on SSN, he'll either end up sacked, or demoted to some other club.

Time to back the manager. People on Twitter should block the prick and the rest of us should refuse to read or watch anything else he's involved in.

They’ll fire that twat if we refuse to give them any further interview opportunities

 

[Herman Toothrot]

Hard to see any argument against ETH, glad to see it. He owns up when we lose and happy to chat extensively when we win, not to mention giving a 20+ minute interview after two losses when he's clearly getting to grips with the language. Can't fault him.

The #karma tweet from whats-his-name is remarkably unprofessional. We've seen ex-player pundents celebrate goals, no problem with that at all, but you never get journalist openly celebrating a defeat. Very small.

 

[noodlehair]

I was expecting worse in the videos but no issue with the manager not taking any shite from journalists. Especially not the stupid ones. Not quite up there with Van Gaal's "you, fat man" speech though

 

[Anustart89]

The fact that he physically tried to bully his way to EtH in search for a comment, and then felt so hurt by being snubbed that he felt compelled to tweet karma after a heavy loss clearly shows that he still holds a grudge and has no intention of reporting fairly and in an unbiased manner. Anything EtH says to him is very likely to be twisted so he’s completely right not to speak to the man and should probably ban him from all United-related media activity.

What a twat though.

 

[arthurka]

Petulant child.

 

[DJ_21]

Finally we have a manager that won’t give these absolute idiots the time of day. Don’t let him anywhere near Old Trafford.

 

[RedOrange]

This comment from Cotterill is pretty poor:
"He didn't really want to say much did he? He’s going to have to get used to a slightly less laid back atmosphere than they have out here in Amsterdam."

If he thinks the atmosphere around Ajax is laid back he is absolutely clueless.

 

[Rolaholic]

This guy is a right tosser, he was a Jose shill and absolutely has an agenda

Hope ETH gives the cnut the Fergie treatment all season long

 

[Uniquim]

Rather than ignoring his comments they should just ban him from the press conferences etc. and tell Sky Sports to send someone else.
I think the club can be fined, like we were every week under Fergie for years, but I think that's mainly if you block the entire media outlet, not individual reporters.

 

[Infestissumam]

love it when a manager puts some of those hacks in their place. Cotterill is a right bellend.

Gotta be up there with one of the most punchable faces i've ever seen.
That smug look on his face while he's behaving like a papparazzi when he's supposed to be a credible fecking journalist.

What a twat

Thats a genuine good call

 

[caid]

Clearly a bit stupid. Has some grovelling to do and a signficant change of attitude or he'll be replaced.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Cotterill is an entitled weapon. Also smacks a bit of xenophobia to me... I don't think he'd have acted the same way if it was a good old British Manager.

Anyway, glad ETH isn't giving him the time of day.

 

[Rightnr]

Oldest child in the media, it seems

 

[Vidyoyo]

This is what I like most about EtH, he takes no prisoners. I can very much imagine him being first in line to hold up Cotteril's head towards the frothing masses, yelling this is what we do to those who speak maligned utterances against our clyb. Tridents at the ready in case he reanimates before our very eyes. The Cotteril family weeping for the slain taken in their view before his time. The rest cheering in favour of their new god.

 

[red thru&thru]

Feck Cotterill!

 

[GlasgowCeltic]

Liking tweets from that “MikeLUHG” freak

 

[Rocksy]

He’s obligated to speak to them one way or another as they have the tv rights, unless he decides to send his assistent.

If he ignores Gary Cotterill, he gets more Melissa Reddy, doesn’t he? Smart move by Ten Hag.

 

[Tarrou]

would've loved to see Van Gaal in this situation

easily the funniest thing to ever happen to this football club

 

[AFC NimbleThumb]

Doesn’t have a Sky problem as he’s done sit downs with them, he has a Cotterill problem which is understandable given the unprofessional nature of their initial meeting post Palace last season.

Cotterill’s tweets are doing him few favours, he’ll simply be shut out & replaced.

Cotterill should be banned from Old Trafford. Seems very bitter.

Please also add the fact he barged in on an Ajax press conference uninvited, asked questions uninvited and asked about man united even though ETH already said he will not talk about man united.

 

[Judge Red]

I know he was only liking that tweet but what an odd comment to endorse about Brighton being one of the worst teams in Premier League history.

Far from the truth last year and even less so at the moment.
