Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 King signing a new deal at Cov is so far from news it's unreal... Why would a City fan care? No this is news related to our club surely or I'm I being a bit too optimistic? He said news about a transfer target. King was a transfer target. He said nothing that wasn't factual. People need to stop filling in the blanks with their imaginations, and then taking it out on Stringer/Tanner when their guess is incorrect and they are disappointed.

I certainly misread what was said so apologies but still I wouldn't have really been calling stringer or tanner if it turned out to be nothing special. But your right people do over react when it turns out not to be.
Adster Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 According the Coventrys official site Marlon has 'verbally' agreed a new contract.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Rob Tanner is a ****. Ian String is a ****. They both go over the top to get some listeners/views and then disappoint their fans.

Stringer and Young's double-act regarding the Real Madrid game was absolutely ridiculous, though.

How the hell did Tanner go over the top? The only people going over the top lately are the ones getting all shirty about what he said. Stringer always goes over the top. It should be a case of the boy who cried wolf with him, everyone should just take what he says with a pinch of salt and not get so worked up about it.
Fox 4 Life Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Definitely going to be the marlon king story, he is already trying to massively play it down! This is gonna be a slow summer folks!
FowFTW Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 when are they actually going to say this news because i've been listening since 8.25 and nothing yet just crappy songs! <_<
turkish14 Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Rob Tanner is a ****. Ian String is a ****. They both go over the top to get some listeners/views and then disappoint their fans. Could it be that their opinion on whats "big/important/exciting" news differs from your opinion o mighty one?? I want to hear all news regarding lcfc and if its not to my own levels of expectation then so be it....you need to chill a little
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 You just know that it will be about Marlon King signing a new deal at Cov Scum. And most people already know about that as its on Sky Sports News. Im happy the scumbag won't be coming here.
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Could it be that their opinion on whats "big/important/exciting" news differs from your opinion o mighty one?? Thing is he didn't describe it as anything but "news"? The "big", "exciting" etc came from others.
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 when are they actually going to say this news because i've been listening since 8.25 and nothing yet just crappy songs! <_< Who even said it was on the radio? Jesus, this is like a bad game of Chinese whispers.
Bert Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Well to defo put you all out of you'd misery it's that King has signed a new contract with Cov.
Callabinho Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Tanner has reviled Marlon king has signed a new deal at cov! That really has made my day .........
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Tanner has reviled Marlon king has signed a new deal at cov! That really has made my day ......... He criticized or was abusive in an abusive or angrily insulting manner?
FowFTW Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 When did he say this?!? Oh well if the news was the marlon king contract thing then I guess it's good news.
ibbosuk Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Tanner has reviled Marlon king has signed a new deal at cov! That really has made my day ......... But....There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip.
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Tanner starting something off,hyping people up when i already knew this story 2 days ago. Tanner has not hyped anything up, if you think he has then it's yourself who has hyped up what he actually said.
mess1 Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 not exiting news its more coventry news about marlon king
sphericalfox Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Tanner has not hyped anything up, if you think he has then it's yourself who has hyped up what he actually said. A summer filled with this scenario methinks. Babs you are letting it get to you already. Overreaction isn't a Leicester fan trait you've seen before?
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Babs you are letting it get to you already. Overreaction isn't a Leicester fan trait you've seen before? I know I know... it just does my tree in
Babylon Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 not exiting news its more coventry news about marlon king Must not bite, must not react.... oh sod it.... It's news about a transfer target, which is exactly what he said. He never said exciting, he never said we were signing anyone.
dpjfox Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 hope sge wipes the smile off covscum fans by signing Westwood (btw his first choice striker must have agreed to join us)
turkish14 Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 Thing is he didn't describe it as anything but "news"? The "big", "exciting" etc came from others. I agree babylon and that was the point that i was trying to make but didnt do a particularly good job in doing. .....
sphericalfox Posted 3 June 2011 Posted 3 June 2011 The problem is simple. Expectation I think people are annoyed as historically, and you'll agree with this Babs, Stringer has over-hyped any tidbit of news. He has called 'wolf' so many times that people's expectations are overly high. Not that we shouldn't be expecting good things this summer, but stoked by ego, and pushing ratings the ground-work has been set. I appreciate that Tanner didn't say anything untoward or over-hype things. unfortunately he used the words 'embargoed'. If this was in fact Coventry news, then why would he have to keep shush. It's choosing words carefully not to sully one's reputation and not come across like the Stringer. He has slightly failed in this regard. But the fan base is biting at the teat at the minute to hear anything of worth and there's going to be a lot of mindless garble on FT and elsewhere about every tweet, and every nuance of info out there. I am trying my best not to rise to every overblown comment posters make. I won't go over and over how I think those in the know are manipulating the masses with their unprofessionalism again. That has been covered to death in other threads. Rest assured there's going to be endless nonsense all this summer on a scale that we have not seen before. At least we can put to bed the Marlon question and any split therein it may have caused amongst fans. But I have a feeling there will be one or two players coming in that will cause equal divides though not based on convictions but not criminal convictions.
