MPH Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 Agree with chicagofox. Talking to Stringer is just another of the many ways Ranieri shows his class as a manager. The job isn't just about picking a team it's about 1000 other things including fronting the club and dealing professionally with the media...whether you like a particular individual or not. Stringer hasnt had a chance to upset him yet....
Jimmy Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 Stringer hasnt had a chance to upset him yet.... even Stringer isn't dumb enough to upset Don Ranieri
Ozwin Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 So what's this about him doing a cut throat sign? Context plz.
Fatty Arbuckle Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 Maybe he did something worse than the cutthroat gesture to Nugent that we're not aware of. Not really that bothered, not keen on the bloke. I heard that it was what happened after that that caused most of the trouble. Nugent didn't like the cut throat thing and made it quite clear that he wouldn't be talking to stringer. Stringer then decided to beg nugents Mrs to have a word to smooth things over which annoyed him even more!
Bayfox Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 So what's this about him doing a cut throat sign? Context plz.Well documented on here and backed up by Geoff Peters. Stringer did a cut throat gesture after we lost at home to Liverpool. Aimed towards nugent and picked up by numerous players. The players maintain it was clearly an indication that stringer thought pearson was ready for the tin tack. Stringer. In Stringer world maintains it was meant as a "that's it we are doomed and down" Either way it makes him look a twat. Unprofessional, Un called for, he's the sort of fan I am glad we have managed to drown out with our new found atmosphere. And Ian if your reading this I don't give a ****. You have already blocked me on Twitter for some constructive criticism and career advice that maybe you could have taken on board.
Thracian Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 Pearson also spoke to Stringer you know, there is only so many times someone is a total bellend before you react though. Lets see where we are when we go on a bad run and he's shit stirring again. Or slating the manager for not jumping up and down when he's actually done his back in, when he's doing cut throat gestures after another loss and whipping up the radio Leicester morons. I've no sympathy with Stringer at all, quite the contrary. My comment was really about managers setting standards for themselves, the fans and their club irrespective of any journalist's insensitivity, disrespect, plain bad manners or, in Stringer's case, all three.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 still don't get why someone at RL doesn't take the production decision to send Jason Bourne or even Matt Elliott to do the interviews, why does it HAVE to be Stringer The players not talking to IS (for various reasons) started in December (after the cut throat gesture to Nugent) and RL exercised their right to not be dictated to in terms of who asked the questions, even though they could've been flexible and used someone else in the short term until things blew over. I thought the players ban was now extended to anyone from RL but I'm told it's not, just IS. So someone else could ask the questions - JB and Matt E are both there anyway - but they, like the players have dug their heels in. To be fair, it's RL who lose out more than the players. It's a genuine shame and should've been handled a whole lot better IMHO. I heard that it was what happened after that that caused most of the trouble. Nugent didn't like the cut throat thing and made it quite clear that he wouldn't be talking to stringer. Stringer then decided to beg nugents Mrs to have a word to smooth things over which annoyed him even more! Didn't realise this was common knowledge. As I said, the whole things is not good. Doesn't look like getting sorted any time soon. Not sure the bit about Foxes Player on the forum tonight will be that well received at LCFC either.
Oldblueyes Posted 2 November 2015 Posted 2 November 2015 I have never heard such a load of rubbish written on here. The reason for LCFCWorld going their own way with people like Geoff Peters (a frequent poster on here) commentating, was explained on the Forum last night by the deputy editor of RL. It has nothing to do with Stringer. The current format is only on a trial basis. I for one do not like the current show and have posted my reasons to Foxes Player.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Looking back at your previous handful of posts oldblueyes there's definitely a pattern developing there LCFC doing their own in-house commentaries is not directly related to RL. So I'm not sure why RL felt the need to go into it on their forum tonight though.
Larry_LCFC Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Atleast nobody holds a grudge. Would the adult thing not be to get together and for Stringer to apologise for any offence caused. Shake hands and move the fvck on. It's all a bit pathetic now on everyone's part. Other than the few second player interviews on motd, there is very other matchday content from our players which I do miss.

You have already blocked me on Twitter for some constructive criticism and career advice that maybe you could have taken on board. Almost but not quite. Radio leicester official word on the incident was the cut throat sign was made by stringer was when Nuge got injured and the gesture made by stringer was to suggest it was a bad injury and he needed to come off. Stringer has never made a comment about it but that is the top bloke at radio Leicesters version
Oldblueyes Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Filbertstreet, I have just been on Findmypast.com site and it comes up with no matches found, thank god. I was worried how much the CSA would sting me for.

Stringer has never made a comment about it but that is the top bloke at radio Leicesters version Nugent wasn't involved that night (Liverpool at home) because of injury but he was in and around the media mixed zone afterwards when it happened. I know this because I was talking to him in it. I didn't buy the excuse, neither did the players, manager or senior people at the club. I think if he'd come out and been honest and apologised (listen, we all mess up, sometimes publicly, me included, it happens, it's not pretty) then things might have got sorted. The players, even in that dreadful run, were massively supportive of the manager and they felt that gesture, along with a number of on and off air things, were out of order. As I keep saying, it's such a shame and I wish it was all sorted.

EnglishOxide Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Everyone here is trying to outdo each other in the 'ITK' stakes

Everyone here is trying to outdo each other in the 'ITK' stakes I was stood talking to Nugent in the media mixed zone after the Liverpool game, the night the gesture apparently happened, also the night of Pearson's FOAD incident, but I'm willing to bow to knowledge from others who weren't actually there in the media mixed zone
Leicester_Numan Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 I was stood talking to Nugent in the media mixed zone after the Liverpool game, the night the gesture apparently happened, also the night of Pearson's FOAD incident, but I'm willing to bow to knowledge from others who weren't actually there in the media mixed zone Exactly, it was the foad incident that caused Stringer to make the gesture which the players interpreted as that's it for Pearson. That was enough for the players to withdraw from talking to Stringer and I think it was the god awful post match interview that caused Pearson to join them. Circulating the foad video didn't help Stringer's position and certainly doesn't add weight to his explanation that the gesture was meant as an injury inquiry to Nugent. Personally, Stringer doesn't normally bother me but he was bang out of order that night.
Number 6 Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Thing that annoyed me most about Stringer was that he tried to start the rumours. When the second Soton goal went in sure he said something along the lines of "is this the end for Nigel Pearson" when there had been no wider speculation about his position at all.
Oxfordfox83 Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 Thing with Stringer is, it wasn't a one off, it was a sustained on-air campaign to get rid of NP, presumably either for personal reasons, or because he wanted to be first with the scoop. People can say all they want about the players and NP needing to suck it up and be professional for the good of the fans, but that goes both ways. Stringer was given plenty of chances to be professional, to nurture the relationships that were essential for his job, and he didn't. RL need Leicester City far more than vice versa, and if they had any professional standards they'd have binned Stringer off for persistent unprofessionalism. As others have said, they could get anyone to do the interviews, and their stubbornness costs them and the fans.
Guest Posted 3 November 2015 Posted 3 November 2015 On the football forum on BBC last night stringer was spoken about and the FOXES HD player as well. He outright asked his producer if it was to do with the rift between them and they said no. I suspect it is and also helped their decision to take the commentary internal
