Gerry Taggart leaves Radio Leicester!

[TheUltimateWinner]

Quick someone ring that hotel to see if they have an A. Young stopping

[MHC]

Get Neil Lennon in, he's looking for a job at the minute.

[Stadt]

Hopefully Elliot gets it permanently

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Lennon was summarising for 5 Live at Forest on Saturday and was on Goals on Sunday yesterday. Seems to enjoy the media stuff.

 

PS. Ian does like saying 'by the way' a lot.

[Livid]

According to the Army United FC website Elliott is still their manager. Can't see him giving that up for the RL job.

Taggart was boring as hell to listen too.

 

Good riddance!

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Thought Elliott did a great job on Saturday, and he has a great voice for the job. What about Army United though?

[fleckneymike]

Good choice.

 

I could never warm up to Taggart and his Northern Irish drawl on the radio. Elliott's much more suited for that role.

 

All the best and thanks for your BBC Radio Leicester efforts, Gerry!

I bet Al Young is pissing himself laughing at the moment. By the way according wiki Matt Elliot left Army United back in June so according that he's available.

Reports that there are protesters outside Radio Leicester

Elliott was quality, I can understand him and he makes intelligent, succinct points. permanent please.

Why would he be laughing? He's not gotten the gig back.

[MHC]

Let's have Heskey then if we can't have Lennon.

[Cincinnati Fox]

Matty is quality

Knows his stuff

[Guest Sharpe's Fox]

Gerry Taggart is walking down a dark alley on a Saturday night. Suddenly a Glaswegian voice whispers through the dark. "You leave Radio Leicester ye twally geet or I'll whack ye bad time."

"Who...who is that" Gerry says, terrified."

"Never you mind Gary lad, never you mind."

[Nick]

preferred matty from what I heard on Saturday

 

Me too!

[VLC86]

BRING BACK YOUNG

This calls for a protest, who's in?

[Fox92]

This calls for a protest, who's in?

 

Thought you'd never ask. Got my Fox costume ready.

[theessexfox]

Petition?

[Guest Papasmurf]

Never even got to hear Gerry. Thoroughly enjoyed what I heard from Elliot for the 30 mins I had the wireless on on Saturday.

[shade]

Elliott >>> Young.

[HankMarvin]

Alan young probably thought this was his replacement

 

[Larry_LCFC]

No great loss. Now get a decent replacement who actually sound like they care.

[MC Prussian]

It does sound like someone's drowning in an ocean of strawberry milkshake, though.

[cjslcfc]

Agree with this. Matt was an easier listen than either Taggs or Big Al. 

Elliott came across as knowledgeable, intelligent and polite. Listened patiently to callers, (no 'cutting in' or interrupting), then gave his views on their opinions. Would be ideal, though sadly doubt he'll be in the post permanently.

Slightly off topic, watched the Football League show on Saturday. They had Dave Kitson as a pundit. Now, I have to say I always thought him a bit of a flash twat as a player, but he too came across as well informed and made a positive contribution to the show. A refreshing change from the hand of Dixons and Lawrensons we're used to being dealt 

 

He's "The Secret Footballer" supposedly... So I'd assume, having read his book, that he is very knowledgeable and does come across as fairly intelligent.
