Mark_w Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Vichai and Aiwayatt will feel quite let down I think - the Thai people are a proud and honourable people. What makes you say that? Aren't they just like any other group of people, some honourable, some not, some proud, some not?
GingerrrFox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 "Will you speak to the Chairman before the weekend?" (Implying Nigel should fear for his job) "I spoke to him tonight Ian." (Jog on ****) "Oh and what did he say, what did you talk about?" (Come on give me another soundbite that I can manipulate) "That's none of your business, it's got nothing to do with you" (you ****ing what ****?) "It's my job to ask, the fans want to know" (Really I'm just a nosey ****) "No Ian it's not your job to ask that, what I speak about with the Chairman of this football club is my business and nobody else's" (you looking for the nut here ****?)
inckley fox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Unfortunately Pearson has to be careful. The tipping point could well be the moment that the ground erupts in calls for him to go. There's nothing more likely to provoke that than giving people the impression that you're perfectly happy to be losing games, and if anyone thinks otherwise then you'd prefer them not to bother turning up. And confronting fans with foul language is an equally ropey area, regardless of your past achievements and whatever provocation may have come your way. He needs to act with the same professionalism that a police officer or a teacher would be expected to deliver in moments like that - because it's not like he's Alex Ferguson chasing his third Champions League or whatever. To commit an act of gross misconduct at precisely the moment when people are wondering whether to fire you is never a great idea.
Unabomber Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 I rarely take to twitter but his conduct since the "does that spell the end for Nigel Pearson" comment has been abysmal so I've had a dig. link?
cityfanlee23 Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Stringer blocked me about a year ago for telling him exactly what he is. ****.

If people are getting the "impression" that Pearson is "happy" losing games, then that's clearly a laughable constructed scenario by some sad fans. How can a football manager be made responsible for far-fetched fans' theories? This is all clutching at straws and trying be very nitpicky, alluding to possibilities, without referring to facts. I find it equally laughable that you expect police officers or teachers (!) being exposed to constant abuse, and even abuse of the same level or amount footballers or football managers are exposed to - a handful of deluded fans with their sense of entitlement after having purchased tickets to an event of which they can't know the outcome in advance. Would you call a police officer a willy puller or a teacher a c*nt just because she doesn't meet your criteria of her job profile? Oh no, because it would make you look like a real tw*t. And involve legal consequences. Why on earth can you not see that it makes conducting the job you've chosen to find fulfillment in so much harder? But soz the consequences - shout now, think later.
Richmondfox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Last season I didn't mind him or get the hate for Stringer but this season it feels like he is trying to make a show reel for a job at Talksport. Owen was annoying in his pro Liverpool view but the way Stringer pushes Pearson and acts like he's anti Leicester for someone who's a fan/from Leicester is even worse. He's a WUM. He created the Heskey story and tried to make it into something it wasn't and in the process making our club look desperate.
ScouseFox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 when stringer commentates on games of footy he's great. when he takes it upon himself to meddle, make shit up, ask insulting questions and be a general nob he comes across as a nob.

If you want to hear about sandwiches and haircuts, definitely.
ScouseFox Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 nah i genuinely enjoy his commentary although I haven't heard one this season, but when he starts acting like a journalist instead of a commentator who is also a fan he really grind my gear
Unabomber Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 what's pearson's twitter? think its @npearson1 not 100% tho like 90.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Tell me about it scousey that proper grind my gear too
Danno Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Haha been blocked by stringer for calling him a dog shagger What a time to be alive

And involve legal consequences. Why on earth can you not see that it makes conducting the job you've chosen to find fulfillment in so much harder? But soz the consequences - shout now, think later. If a teacher, in their professional duties, responds to being called a 'c*nt' by telling somebody to 'f**k off' then they will be fired instantly. I'm not saying it's right that they are called a 'c*nt'. But it is wrong for a person in their position to tell anyone to 'f**k off'. His behaviour was unprofessional today. He did it so that his players pick up the papers tomorrow and see that their manager is going out on a limb to defend them, so that they give their all in the next game. I suspect that professional standards in his line of work aren't as high, in terms of connecting with the public, as they are in pretty much any other line of work, so he'll almost certainly get away with it. And maybe it's a clever, calculated move. But if you want to defend it on moral grounds, then you should also be calling for a nationwide rethink on how professionals deal with criticism and abuse. Do we accept that teachers, policemen, doctors, judges, lawyers, shopkeepers, nurses, social workers, politicians can speak to the public in this way? And what happens if they do? If a teacher or a policeman starts effing at the people they're there to deal with, then they will struggle to manage them effectively. They'll be perpetually in conflict with others. And, I suspect, if Pearson continues to go down this road without having the walk to match the talk, then he'll get himself into a conflict which will cost him his job. Defend Nigel Pearson, and his position at Leicester - yes. Have a go at the moron who gave him a mouthful - yes. Consider the 'spat' a clever move to motivate the side - yes. But why argue that clearly unprofessional conduct is anything other than unprofessional?
Giggsy77 Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Stringer is just doing is job, he asks questions that we all want to know. Kills me how people have a go at someone, yet know f**k all about their profession. Thing is, football is a results business and we aint getting the results, so like I anyone else in football, Pearson is under servere pressure. Personally, I like him as a manager but I do think we need someone to get us out of this.
lcfcbobby Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 all of you that are moaning about stringer he is doing his job and if pearson just gave a straight answer to a simple question stringer wouldn't need to keep asking these questions over and over again he is only trying to get answers but instead pearson ducks and dives everything.

Unabomber Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Gotta give Pearson credit at how good he is at ducking things though.

cjslcfc Posted 3 December 2014 Posted 3 December 2014 Stringer is like the kid in the back of the car saying "are we there yet?". Except it's "do you fear for your job, Nigel?". I'm glad I've stopped listening to RL. I did it for the first time in a while tonight and it was excruciating listening to hear Stringer reel off the usual shite questions.
