Not really. Takes a massive amount of dignity to apologise to a journo and in the premier league.
Agree, the pressure some of these managers are under for prolonged periods is immense.
Imagine you were Martinez earlier in the season and all the abuse he was getting on here
@davek. Martinez has lost hair this season, and the reason is obvious.
I'm surprised that ill health in football managers isn't seen more often.
To me Nigel Pearson is showing all the signs of someone with Chronic Stress and I'd say he's showing symptoms of clinical depression.
Recall we have a thread on this on here.

Pearson looks like he's showing the strain in what is a difficult job as its difficult for him to attract quality players that will really make a difference.
Martinez issue this year is managing expectations/budget of replacing multiple players. I think he'll realise that he CAN aquire a higher level of talented players with Everton and ths will be shown this summer and next season as a consequence. But we have to manage this on a budget. We don't have limitless pockets.
Think people need to leave off Pearson a little.
