Worthy's media skills - could learn from Pardew

Found these two illuminating sections in the interview with Pardew in today's Observer:

"In this respect, it was a harder school than the enclosed one of football and helps to explain Pardew's rough-edged responses that so upset people but have been tempered since the club provided him with a media advisor."

And, more pertintently, this one:

"The club hgave hired him a media advisor, Phil Hall, former editor of the News of the World. The two go into session after every match to decide the tone and content of what he is going to tell the press, TV and radio. Many of his comments seem designed to win over the fans and have been noticeably successful in doing so."

Does this happen at Norwich? One can only assume it doesn't. If not, why not?
