Football manager press conferences can be boring. Unless they involve Ian Holloway or Rafa Benitez rattling off facts like a crazy person. Putting a large picture of a bunch of cheerleader types on the sponsor board normally reserved for a polka dot patten of small logos behind the manager isn't the way to improve these tedious events, though. Yet, that's what one beer sponsor did for Croatia manager Slaven Bilic's presser on Friday.
First of all, there were probably a number of reporters who didn't even know Bilic was talking. Secondly, I think a picture of a violent car crash would've been more tasteful. And thirdly, what's next -- Alex Ferguson giving a press conference in strip club? No one wants to hear him talk about referee conspiracies while getting a lap dance. No one.
