That's the way I saw it too. Dellor was out to get Pauno to throw a wobbly and seemed happy when he got the reaction he wanted. His tone of questioning from the outset was bordering on disrespectful and offensive. From almost the outset of the interview he went off on one about the substitution at the end which didn't happen. For once Pauno offered a full and logical explanation (player had indicated they were injured - Holmes?) and even talked through how they planned to rearrange the team. Player then said he was OK to continue so they didn't make the sub. Despite that, Dellor still had to come back with a childish and unprofessional response along the lines of 'well it still looked like a shambles'. Dellor then persisted in badgering Pauno for his feelings about the planned demo, even though Pauno said that he had answered that question when Dellor had asked it a day or so previously.
To my mind, Dellor is too much of a fan and often lets his passion get in the way of doing his job as well as he could/should do. That's why I prefer Benjy from The Chronicle. Whilst he still clearly cares about the club, he is not a lifelong supporter and therefore has less skin in the game. That enables him to be more objective. He didn't give Pauno an easy ride with his questions last night but maintained a degree of respect and professionalism. Consequently his interview ran to the full and he got more answers (whether we like them or not) for us.
Given this, I expect Benjy to get far more time and information from the club and management team, at least for as long as Pauno remains.
Dellor is shit at his job. He's too close to it all to be objective and impartial as he should be.
You see it when he gets on a players back like Vydra, or defends a player no matter what like Gunter. Same with manager interviews. He's a fan he wants Paunovic gone and he's emotional after another defeat.
He's just not professional.
Doesn't really excuse Pauno, he's got to deal with the situation and he should have a handle on Dellor after 18 months.
You literally contradict yourself with every post. Dont know even where to begin with this horror show.
But - i will say - Dellor is excellent at what he does.
Like when he gets players confused on commentary and can't describe the action accurately?
