I personally think Olly Turner had to change,when he 1st arrived he got my back and Im someone who thinks Humberside reporters have been a bit too meek up until Mike White.Perhaps behind the scenes, as local press should,they have worked on a better relationship?.Fans want blood when we lose,it’s up to our local cal press to temper that while still offering an honest appraisal.Its not their job to “call out” anyone Especially as performance is so massively subjective
Ollie is a highly competent commentator and really good football reporter. But very occasionally in the past he’s worded post-match questions in a way that definitely (despite his tone of voice and delivery) would come across as confrontational or even aggressive to an already beleaguered manager. I think Ollie genuinely cares about the club like a fan does, and so I put it down to personal enthusiasm and professional clumsiness.
Personally, I’d rather tolerate that occasional misstep than the seemingly endless backslapping bore, wafer-thin ‘we’re all mates aren’t we’ shite we used to get. BBC Radio Humberside coverage of SUFC, streamlined as it is, is much better now than it has ever been imho.
