You gotta put clickbait in to drive engagement but the reality is not much of Tanner has said is untrue and he's been proven right by one of our players taking the bait and publicly calling him out. That's not handling pressure well at all. 

Calling people out isn't handling pressure, since when? To me it shows character instead of just taking it. Just like when we were bottom and Pearson would call out reporters.

Why? Surely it will drive the players closer together and this can only be a good thing?  :dunno:

Sorry don’t understand what you are getting at? I am saying Madders has taken Tanner to task for writing an article that will invoke negativity from the fan base, yet the manager has been calling out the shortfalls of the squad and downplaying the ambition of the club which has been a damn sight more negative and having a more detrimental impact to the general morale of the squad and fanbase and I am intrigued to know if the squad are so rattled by what Tanner has written, then how will they have felt seeing and hearing their manager regularly throwing them under a bus.

Think you and I will not agree on this, but in my opinion there is zero value in direct falsehoods in such articles, far better to extract pieces which seem shocking or divisive and use them to hook people in, otherwise you risk reputational damage which defeats the whole point. I don`t think he lied, he omitted context, and this is what I  think Maddison raged against. Just my opinion though  :)

No, click bait would be if he wrote "7 reasons Leicester are going back to league one, number 5 will shock you". 

 

Disagreeing with parts of an opinion piece doesn't make it clickbait

Got it, sorry I misunderstod. Just hope if Maddison is as annoyed as he seems by the article, he can use it as a rallying point for the squad regardless of Rodgers

There were times that season where Pearson really didn't handle the pressure well at all. 

 

If Tanner was wrong then Maddison would have a point but he isn't wrong and Maddisons whole call out is 'Please don't say this, its not true and it turns the fans on us'. I.e. please leave us alone so people don't say mean things about us.

Which does also make me worry, when you see how Madders has reacted, just how much damage Rodgers comments over the last 15 months have had, and if so he has to be a dead man walking.

Isn't that what people keep crying out for, a bit of "pashun".  Maddison shows it and some don't like it, if he just said nothing and carried on as if he didn't care, he would equally get it in the neck.

 

Personally, I don't care about the Pashun, I have seen managers and players with loads of it and they have still been shit.

He is sticking up for his team mates. I like this and I thought people wanted to see more honestly. But obviously not. People just want them to say what they want to hear.

Only way Maddison could have really pleased the doom and gloomers is if he said to Tanner "yeah, you're right mate, all Brendan's fault though ain't it? #RodgersOut".

I'd prefer them to show they understand the severity of the situation they've put us in to be honest. The introspection at this club is non existent

Tanner is spot on though

Agreed. But i am happy someone inside the club shows some care. Maddison isn't afraid of speaking out. That's how it should be

How do you know? We post on a forum, we see players on a match day, we don't see them at all in the week or what they do.

But it's not, is it? It's an accurate summary of an article he's linking to.

That's still not really clickbait though is it? Clickbait is misleading and inflammatory. What he's posted is presumably just the bullet points from the article. Promoting your work by telling people what it's about is not clickbait.

I get that and I appreciate the sticking up for his team mates but at the same time I don't think he's right in saying that more of the same and we'll be okay and then having a pop at a journo for potentially turning the fans on them.

 

Tanner isn't being inflammatory with anything and to be honest he's towed the club line a lot so to have a pop at him for his first slightly negative article is a bit much. Its not that I want him to say what I want to hear but he's not right here in much of what he's saying or doing.
