By the way, I did miss that.
And where ever it comes from, it's crazy as hell to lie to the media in a situation like that. It's definately not a good start. I suspect media relations and privacy are going to be a whole new world.
I don't think it reflects on the football stuff though. His mere hiring earns him a full year or two of "wait and see" freedom.
And as such, I'll defend the need to "wait and see".
While I think that stunt is outright stuipd, it doesn't impact my faith in Pioli's football abilities. They are completely different things.
That he's acting like BB (even the bad parts) is a good thing in my mind. Until proven otherwise, I'll wait and see on the football side.
