Mauricio Pochettino to keep using interpreter despite excellent grasp of English

[Whitey Grandad]

License and licence are very different - the latter refers to an actual object, as in a photocard licence.

 

Verbs and nouns, innit. It doesn't bother me that he speaks Spanish.

He's in our country so he should speak our language. If he isn't prepared to speak British he should go home to Barcelona.

What a waste of money! Learn English ffs

 

.....Er ....when should he do this I wonder?. From previous info. he seems to spend a very long time at SMS / training .....almost every day. I doubt if he is so alert enough to learn at 6pm.

 

I'm sure he's OK with standard football terminology and communicates with players, but there is world of difference between expressing your own thoughts, and answering stupid media questions.

 

I teach English to a varied selection of nationalities and if it were that easy, he'd be word perfect by now. Established (foreign) managers like Wenger (example) aren't perfect and are often misquoted.

 

Using a good interpreter ensures that most of what he wants to say comes through. I'm sure there are a lot of journos who are just waiting for the chance to " put their words in his mouth ".

Er ....do you mean English ?

Whilst I don't mind Poch using an interpeter the pre/post match interviews are so dull!!

 

I found Adkins interviews much more dull. If the options are for Poch to speak through an interpreter, or give generic answers to questions, I'd go for the former everytime.
