Brilliant interview, very honest and articulate man. Loved his comments about youth development. Giving information but the kids being pragmatic. If I walked into an academy and John was there I'd be happy to know my kids in good hands. 👍🏻
John Sitton a proper Gentleman ! A honest man with Standards ! ( a rarity ) Some say a Diamond in the rough ! I say a Diamond that’s been hidden for too long and as a Diamond his legacy can never be diminished ! Go for it John !! Come out to us anyway you can you will always have the respect from those of us that know you ! Take care & Stay Safe David Boon 😎🤓
Sitton is an interesting man to have a chat with, regardless of if you're a football fan or not. I enjoyed his chat with Pitch Talk. I imagine this will be another interesting\enjoyable discucssion.
John Sitton is a legend,he's pure CLASS,knows his stuff,and bang on it with his views on current affairs!,just wish he was still in the game,great character that sadly is lacking in today's footballing world.
He has this reputation (as talked about) as a “‘mad man” or “old school”. Yet you hear him talk about the game and he’s talking about Mikel Arteta, a 38 year old coach very young coach who’s being hailed as “fresh & innovative” and yet he has similar values in aspects of coaching and approach with regards to having specialists working on specific areas of the game. Very interesting.
B B I’m a chef, had a head chef very similar to John, very firm but fair. Made me a better chef and person, and still daily think of him like a lost love. Tough love they call it, can’t do that no more or you’d done for bullying or harassment, sad really
Really interesting interview. He certainly has got it spot on about TFL and useless all 3 mayors have been. He was definitely right about being a parent and to enjoy the first years. His problem with football was probably he was to honest. People in power don't like the truth.
Very interesting interview. Didn’t know much about John before this. I’ve seen the videos of him offering the players out and I know he was sacked and banned from the orient ground. I always got the impression that he was a villain. So it’s good to hear his side of things
@@grantmcphee5149 this. What he said would’ve been standard course of a relegation team at that time in the division they were in. I’ve got bollocked in a charity game (deservedly) when I played with ex professionals and it was almost as bad as that. The fact he got banned was a disgrace. At least now apparently he is not banned
Love to have a pint with Sitts. Documentary did him a disservice. Was just a man who loved football at the end of his tether with players that were not even giving him the bare minimum. This man speaks more sense than half the clowns they have as 'pundits' on TV these days.
When you see genuine these days it’s hits you in the face so hard you can’t ignore. Only the just get screwed. Much love big man, you’re better than them all and despite what anyone thinks you’re winning, not them.
He’s a proper man. Not sure the sensitive souls in the game currently would be able to cope with his, honest and direct approach. I like him. You can see he wasn’t putting on a performance in the documentary. 25 years on his integrity remains the same.
@@fullcorefootball2459 In all seriousness, if you can get him to do a watch-along of some games, it'll be hilarious and get good numbers. I don't know how well he does as a cabbie but he could easily get an audience on YT doing that sort of thing. He's funnier than Goldbridge and more intense than AFTV's crew of ranters and ravers.
Really enjoyed this very enlightening, John has always come across as very very passionate, honest, and professional.Personally couldn’t see any problems with his half time team talks to get his team motivated , I would of sucked it up and try to smash it to prove him wrong .
Much maligned after that TV documentary. But after this where he speaks about pride and the evidence of his passion I think he was sold down the river. The senior players in that dressing room let him down badly and there own standards didn't meet up to his demands. There have been many others that have failed time and again yet still drag a living from the game. It beggars belief that he never found his way back in. Great interview and I have now seen the man in a different light.
He should of had the chance to further his managerial career in league football.Far too many imposters out there winging it.John is very charismatic and is just the type of person football does need, as he’s brutally honest and doesn’t suffer fools.
A really great interview. John Sutton is obviously a very intelligent man who has the misfortune of being honest because in life that don't get you anywhere. Whoever said honesty is the best policy was obviously a idiot because how many open and honest people get to the top???
@@fullcorefootball2459 john sitton may have had good coaching skills but it's largely wasted if you don't know how to handle people psychologically in order to get the best out of them. clough turned copper into gold
A bloke in the back of a car talking doesn’t sound very enthralling but this had me gripped. Sitton maligned himself with ‘that bit’ of the documentary all those years ago…but it was a media stitch up.
Honest , passionate , authentic is John Sitton. These 3 things are enough to scare the sh+t out of all the manipulative people in power . They want people who they can control , manipulate and own . That's why this highly intelligent coach is frozen out ....because they know he won't bow down to them and lick their a............,
Best manager is Sitts should be in the prem or England manager defo we wd win stuff no prob Sitts should be PM no lockdown no lefty nonsense sitts is god sitts is jesus sitts is our SAVIOUR BUT HE IS TOO MODEST GO SITTS!!!!!!
Is it any wonder the top Premiership teams are managed by foreign managers,and if they buy a player they rarely look to our lower divisions but import a foreign player.Many of them don't speak English and need an interpreter to get their points across.Listening to this bloke effing and blinding at the team,is it any wonder ? Man management is vital,you can't rely on some players to act responsibly.Most can't pass the ball never mind passing a betting shop or pub. Despite it being our national game,we've never produced a Cruyff,Maradona,Ronaldo,Pele,Messi etc.
John in my opinion has the potential to be a world class manager. I Wish he could have made his way up to the Scottish Leagues, where players tend to thrive and win under more combative and intense forms of management. The spl did the likes of Smith, Ferguson and Jim McLean very well. All of them managers famed for bad tempers and perpetual discipline of self improvement. English players prefer a bed time story and a glass of milk before being tucked in at night. John could have had a real good career in a club like Aberdeen or Raith rovers around that time.
Seen a lot worse from that era in football. Proper stich up,read his book a very knowledgeable man. Probably too honest but I bet the apprentices and players who wanted to improve would of jumped through hoops for him. Very unfortunate timing with the tv documentary.
Nothing wrong with bollocking the players, all managers do it. That is why most don't take cameras into the changing rooms. They are big and ugly enough to deal with it lol! Please!
Sitts is a fantastic bloke and was so underrated. His book is absolutely fantastic
Brilliant interview, very honest and articulate man. Loved his comments about youth development. Giving information but the kids being pragmatic. If I walked into an academy and John was there I'd be happy to know my kids in good hands. 👍🏻
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for the feedback mate. Hopefully we see John back in football
Great interview. Great bloke. Southend fan!
What a great man..brutally honest good to see his side of the story...Respect
Nice one Billy Fury respect
As a Wrexham fan i would love to see John Sitton manage our club. He is a truly passionate, honest guy who can motivate people.
I'll have a word with Rob and Ryan.
Love this idea
You'd be in the League of Wales tier 999 if this weirdo was in charge ya pillock.
Yeah hopefully he'd give your rat boy McLean a good pasting for refusing to wear a poppy
John Sitton a proper Gentleman ! A honest man with Standards ! ( a rarity )

Thanks David.
The problem is that Barry Hearn didn't appreciate how scarce a commodity loyalty is in football.
Really interesting interview. He certainly has got it spot on about TFL and useless all 3 mayors have been. He was definitely right about being a parent and to enjoy the first years. His problem with football was probably he was to honest. People in power don't like the truth.
Thanks Dave im really glad you enjoyed it mate
100% correct .
Great interview, John is such a character
Proper clued up fella
Could do with John at Tottenham! Very knowledgeable about the coaching side of the game.
@John Doe, 12months later from your comment your word's still ring true but dealing with Tottenham's ownership/hierachy is Managerable suicide.
Could listen to this guy all day long
Very interesting interview. Didn’t know much about John before this. I’ve seen the videos of him offering the players out and I know he was sacked and banned from the orient ground. I always got the impression that he was a villain. So it’s good to hear his side of things
He is too honest for the bullshitter world of football. Imagine him summerising a game on sky...
That halftime talk was nothing out of the ordinary, never-mind for a club in complete turmoil and a Manager who was over-worked and burnt out.
@@grantmcphee5149 this. What he said would’ve been standard course of a relegation team at that time in the division they were in. I’ve got bollocked in a charity game (deservedly) when I played with ex professionals and it was almost as bad as that.

Could listen to John for ages. Comes across as really educated on the game
Bring yer dinner 👊🏻
We need someone like him running country.
Definitely needs to be back in football
John should come to the National League, there would definately be a job for him!
Such a good speaker with such rational thought and stories to tell.A legend aside from hos footballing commitment.Total
Great comment cheers chelsea Dan
When you see genuine these days it’s hits you in the face so hard you can’t ignore. Only the just get screwed. Much love big man, you’re better than them all and despite what anyone thinks you’re winning, not them.
Love Sitton, top bloke. Modern day game just couldn’t handle his truism style. Great vid this.
Johnny Sitton one of the most fantastic and passionate speakers you could find. Always sounds like he's 2 seconds away from a punch up 😅
He’s a proper man. Not sure the sensitive souls in the game currently would be able to cope with his, honest and direct approach. I like him. You can see he wasn’t putting on a performance in the documentary. 25 years on his integrity remains the same.
No one need ask if John goes away games. Full commitment.
39.45 he’s spot on here. My kids are now 16 and 12 and I’m so glad I was able to spend time with them. Taking them to school etc and clubs..
Shalmun Rushdie has picked up a East London accent quickly
And he knows all about Johnny Vaughan, don't worry about that
This guy should be in football today,what a waste of talent,people shouldn't judge someone from a television documentary,they only want the bad bits.
I like this bloke can't beat a straight talker u know were u stand .
19:50 "Nothing was ever based on money" ... he's got to the root of the industry problem as it draws in too many non-playing staff and stakeholders
Why is this guy not involved in the punditry side of the game? He’d be gold on sky sports. I’d pay to hear him talking about prem games
Agreed mate. Im just uploading his thoughts on Liverpool, Man City Foden & more the mans a genius.
@@fullcorefootball2459 In all seriousness, if you can get him to do a watch-along of some games, it'll be hilarious and get good numbers.

Calling players cunts and firing players at half time is not good management
top drawer interview. Sitts is a legend
My man thank you.

Agree.. i see Joey Barton gets sacked at Fleetwood (did nothing in 3 years) then gets the Bristol Rovers job!!! unbelieveable
The half-time rant truly put pay to John Sitton's management career.
A really great interview. John Sutton is obviously a very intelligent man who has the misfortune of being honest because in life that don't get you anywhere. Whoever said honesty is the best policy was obviously a idiot because how many open and honest people get to the top???
Top man knows football inside and out , needs to be in football.
I tell u what if I had a team this man would definitely be my youth coach he reminds me of a top assistant like Steve Clarke
What exactly was he on about at the very last minute? 'On the edge of a cliff'?
4 parts to this mate
He grew into his ears
🤣🤣🤣
Champions do what they have to do and even when they can’t stand it
There's a Yorkshire saying 'There's nowt wrong with raight people. Nowt wrong with Sinton.
top man !!
hes back on tomorrow mate!
Quite rightly Sitts should be angry and glad ge got the truth out. He has the highest quality in football you can get. He is a superb coach.
Most managers wouldn't bring in a coach that was at risk of outshining them. That's maybe one of the reason why he isn't in football anymore.
I thought it was Tommy Hunter from Line of Duty
man management is important.
brian clough.
bang on mate

Can’t understand why he hasn’t had any management offers 😂.......

Please tell me he is in the back of a black cab outside universal credit earning a bit on the side before he visits his work coach
Very knowledgeable guy football would be better with him in it now
Did he mentioned he was at the centre of excellence?
Still the same Sitts he was years ago… say what you want but he’s as real as they get.
Big John,,,, that’s all I’m saying
Needless to say we fell out.
I would have liked to have seen him given a chance in 95/96. Can't have been much worse than Holland.
very good coach full of knowledge was very unlucky to have been excluded from football management as a result of the " club for a fiver documentary.
Fake Taxi? Great man, the Sitts.
Oh to be a fly on the wall when he had Jose in his cab

Happens all the time in changing rooms is what it is
And you can bring ya fuckin dinner

You better do, cos by the time I’m finished with ya you’re gonna f*cling need it!
Great stories, a league 1 Harry Redknapp. No offence intended, it's just how his life turned out.

Obviously drinks a lot. A bit sad actually.

Shame he is still not in football
Well-meaning, but a clueless right-wing zealot.
Very interesting man ,not just about football either ,id love to hear his views on the way the country is run these days
