Quite so. If he didn't seek other opinions, he'd be berated for that instead.

What the hell was that about on the phone?

Indeed and the thing that makes me laugh is that it is hardly a revelation that Tisdale regularly seeks and / or is given the opinion of someone with over forty years experience in the game but nobody cares when we are doing well. These threads only ever appear when we are doing badly.

The fact of the matter is that no one in the crowd heard the entire content of this two way phone call. They have no idea what is was all about. It was raised as yet another stick to beat Tisdale with.
Totally agree, no one should be above getting a second opinion, and one can only hope that after 40 years

sp has some idea of what he's on about. Just another take on 'sitting in the stand' david pleat has gone as
far as saying he's surprised managers dont sit in the stand as opposed to pitch side, the overall view is far better and situations
can be nipped in the bud b4 it's to late, even said if he'd been in the stand at wembley the chances are spurs wouldn't have
lost the fa cup final v coventry !!!!

I don't mind threads critical of Tiz when they are sensible and ask probing questions, but the OP is just a fantasy based on complete supposition and driven by a personal idea about the manager that has no fact. Its total bollaks. Oh.......hang on........he's a season ticket holder. That's different then.

Whatever the facts, and everyone is guessing, it LOOKED amateurish bordering on farcical. I shook my head in disbelief - but have to admit I did crane my neck for 10 seconds to see if I could see what the **** it was about. It was just about the only entertaining thing that happened during the game...

Simple question but why do you consider asking for an opinion from someone with over 40 years football experience and 800+ games at the highest level to be "amateurish bordering on farcical"?

Calm down, It didn't seem to me (and it was going on not far from where I sit) like anyone was seeking an opinion, it appeared to be Mel G telling SP he was wanted on the phone and SP saying he'd call back later. I think we'd already made all 3 subs by then? As far as I recall Tis wasn't holding a phone to his ear. But as I say, it's guesswork unless they clarify things. It just looked very odd.
So, it could have been a diversionary tactic to take the crowds mind off the game?

Which is exactly as I saw it. Gwinnett calling to Steve P "Steve, Steve, telephone." Gave me the impression that whoever it was on the 'phone wanted to speak to Steve P. He declined to take the call and I heard Gwinett tell the caller "Steve is not......" I didn't hear the rest of it.
Still if you don't know, make it up eh?
