It's more about Twitter that has riled people.

It appears he has gone to a national newspaper with evidence from one fan on twitter that has seriously damaged the reputation of our manager and made it look like whole sections of the crowd are abusing him.

If this is the case the organisation that employs Stringer should be looking into him and the club should be taking measures to ensure he can't damage the football club anymore.

Have said for a long time the club should ban him end of no more problems.

Nige should refuse his interviews.

 

The BBC would have no option but to sort him out.

Would love it if they made the snivelling cretin apologise live on air to Nige at the start of his interview.

 

Then Nige tell him to fvck off and die lol

I noticed this afternoon that a 'Stringer Out' account has popped up on Twitter.

There has also been a lot of flack directed at Stringer flying around on here.

My message to whoever is behind this Twitter account is to grow up, shut up and f uck off.

I don't personally know Ian Stringer or have any hidden agenda. I do, however, happen to know quite a lot about radio journalism and BBC local radio, and I'm getting pretty ****ed off with armchair experts deciding how good or bad a job they believe Stringer is doing.

That said, it's all very well sharing opinions about who we like and don't like on the radio station on which we rely for City coverage. But to start calling the guy some of the names that have been used on here and to start calling for his job is too far.

Stringer does a job that he quite obviously loves and he does it to the best of his ability. In asking the questions that he does, he is only carrying out his job. What's more, he is under pressure from his producer (s) and editor to make sure he does indeed ask these questions.

This aside, he is the most charismatic and entertaining matchday presenter we have had for years. But that is by-the-by.

I can assure you that working on BBC local radio doesn't pay anywhere near what you might expect and, furthermore, many contributors are freelance only with little or no job security.

Ian Stringer has a young family to support and all of this 'Stringer Out' nonsense serves only to put his means of earning a living at further risk.

We're all angry about what's going on at the club, but venting frustration at a local radio presenter is absolutely f ucking pathetic.

Whoever is behind this Twitter account needs to pipe down and grow up.

I can barely believe I'm reading this. Stringer is tin pot journalist working for a tin pot radio station. Radio Leicester's coverage is pretty shit but what alternaty is there if you can't get to the game?

Last night Stringer told Pearson "it's my job to get the answers". Bollocks. As NP told him. Stringer may have been better to argue" it's my job to ask the questions". If you ask the right questions you may get some answers.

If NP had punched his lights out last night I'd be campaigning for a life size statue of Nigel outside the clubs shop to stand for evermore in honour of his actions.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

All your points apply to your criticism of Pearson you buffoon. So similar in fact that you must be being ironic.

If I'm not allowed to think Ian is shit at his job you're not allowed to think Pearson is shit at his job because we aren't experts.

Piss off yourself. I for one am anti stringer. Blokes a moron.. Wish they'd sacked him along with Alan Young. The do-goodng Twitter brigade can fvck right off too

[Dan]

Until he stops trying to boost his own ego (which he won't as it's all he knows) then I'll continue to dislike him. He's took it to a new level in the last day or so I'm afraid. willy puller. Hope he gets binned off.

He's got two young families to support from what i hear.

Will Stringer still have a job on Sunday? Opinion seems to be split on how to take Radio Leicester forward.
Has he spoken to his boss recently?
Does he understand where the fans' frustrations comes from?
What's gone wrong, Stringer?

I'm just asking what the fans want to know.

 

[The Blue Moon]

Where's Alan Sugar when you need him.

[kingfox]

Someone has made an actual twitter account to get him out, what a sad piece of shit that person is.

 

Stringer might be a tosser, but whoever created that is also one.

[Guest Kopfkino]

I bet he's loving the fact that his little story which he broke to the world is now making national newspapers. He's just another to have come off the conveyor belt of shit journalists. He's one of those hopeless, irritating people that always land on their feet no matter what they do

[Grewks]

He is a fairly eccentric character.

 

 

And to be fair, his job is not to report the truth, or lies, but in fact to establish a following for the BBC. Irrelevant of whether you dislike the man, due to his style/attitude/eccentricity the fact that he has raised this issue, and the fact this very thread exists shows he is successful about creating talking points.

 

Where i disagree with the man, is his constant opinion getting in the way of what is meant to be 'unbiased' reporting. Furthermore, it is clear to see that Jason Bourne's persona also appears to be changing the longer these two idiots spend together. He now often criticizes the views of callers, which even though we all know a lot of these callers are moronic, Bourne's job is simply to listen to these views and explain them further, not agree or disagree.

 

 

Matt Elliot may sound like a monotone boring git at times, but last night he made far more sense than Stringer or Bourne ever do. They should stick to their job role, present and commentate on the football match itself, whilst leaving the analysis to the 'footballing expert'. You never ever see Geoff Stelling have more input on footballing matter on gilette soccer than the pundits on there.

[GingerrrFox]

So it's alright for him to be the ring leader in trying to get someone sacked and drag their reputation through the mud but we have to put up with his shite because he's gotta provide for kids from 2 different mothers? Bollocks to that, he's a ****.

Wow.

 

If I were a police officer and I was told my job was not to solve crime, but to create a following for the squad, I'd laugh my ass off and/or look at you more than just a little baffled.

If I were a teacher and I was told my job was not to allow kids to prosper, but to lure more kids into the school, I'd laugh my ass off and/or look at you more than just a little baffled.

If I were a bus driver and I was told my job was not to transport people safely and in timely fashion from one place to another, I'd laugh my ass off and/or look at you more than just a little baffled.

 

These are just three examples to prove that your defense of Stringer, a man with little to no professional education in his job, is more than just far-fetched. Your argument is weak. Stringer is supposed to do the job he's paid for. And that is to report professionally and to ask questions in a professional manner, not to lead a vendetta against one man in particular only to enhance his own career. He's not being objective, he caters to a specific audience (on purpose), he poisons the air with his attitude, influencing the weak-minded (notice how sidekick Jason Bourne is starting to suck up to him lately, copying certain traits of arrogance) and all of this not for the greater good for Leicestershire or Rutland.

 

Anyone who's currently studying journalism or is into media studies will look at your quote "his job is not to report the truth" and only shake their head in disbelief.

You're actually proving that the whole argument on here is justified!

[CosbehFox]

I played 5a side against him about 4 years ago, swanned cos he was playing with ex professionals. First minute I just had to do a Wasyl challenge.

Anyway separately about 2 years ago, he made some insensitive comments about Chivu and Cech with the helmets they were wearing. Me and a couple of mates told he was wrong with what he was saying. I directly told him if you consider yourself a journalist, do research before making daft comments. Alas five minutes later I was blocked.

Also, was told the local LCFC media team absolutely rip him to bits weeks after week. After he wore his darts esque shirt one week, someone stuck on the bulleye theme tune as he entered the room. Cue laughter as he didn't know how to react and went off in a sulk.

[Guest Col city fan]

I reiterate.. The dynamic between Stringer and Pearson needs to end. If that's by sacking Stringer, sobeit.

When you have a manager being interviewed that immediately gets defensive such that he doesn't tell me what I expect to hear after a game, there is no point in listening. Stringer is to blame here due to how he asks his questions. And Nige don't help by getting all mardy either.

It needs to stop..I want to hear what the manager has to say. Stringer doesn't enable this to happen. I agree about the Twitter bit though..pathetic is right. And I can talk from personal experience.

[Webbo]

It's your assumption that he's trying to get someone sack, there's no proof of that. Any manager that's bottom of the league is going to have speculation about his job, all he's doing is asking the questions.

Whaaaaaaaaat?

He was actively asking people online what was said etc. This went beyond the footballing performances. It was act of dirt you associate with tabloid journalists.

how though? how did he get TWO women to sleep with him? how can a man with no lips, a fake smile, no life behind the eyes and temples worn so thin they touch the back of his head get TWO women?! amazing.

quite right - the post match interviews have no calorific values - The Matty james one was better; as he spoke about the players determination to get out of the rut. Given the squad, all I can ask is that the player put in max effort (they are) and that we work on reducing mistakes and introducing better tactics/organisation. I would like Nigel to be candid and say "such and such was good - we still need to work on that and that" without criticising players. This type of interview would give me confidence. Stringer is in the way/

[EnderbyFox]

I belief he will be sacked soon, demotion is possible
