Asha Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 Genuine question; since when did everyone on here become a ****ing expert in journalism? He's being a dick. BIN.
Bettsj2 Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 If Pearson was to be sacked, it would have absolutely nothing to do with Ian Stringer.
RowZ Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 What tosh... Leave the bloke alone - he's a passionate Fox and knows his football. Would be a bit bland and wrong if he was another puppet pretending all is good at the club - yes Nige, no Nige, 3 bags full Nige For what it's worth, I detect that the worm is turning in the RL studio, with IS and JB beginning to sound hacked off with this manager. If the results were good, maybe we could all put up with NP's arrogance - as it stands, there's not a lot for them to report on other than the bad stuff. Keep up the good work Mr Stringer!

All of what you've said is wrong. He isn't a Leicester City fan. His blatant attempts to undermine the manager to create a story prove that he is a self-interested **** who cares little about the success or failure of the club. He already is a bit of a puppet, but a negative one rather than a positive one. I'd prefer to have a bland, uncritical character on the radio - at least they won't do any harm. The only reason you think Stringer's doing "good work" is because you also want Pearson out and are glad to see a prominent voice agreeing with as it makes you feel better.
Manwell Pablo Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 The "Is that the end for Nigel Pearson" comment, about 5 games ago did it for me I'm afraid and he's just got worse since. The Twitter account is a bit much though
CosbehFox Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 What tosh... Leave the bloke alone - he's a passionate Fox and knows his football. He doesn't fit either criteria.
Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 I personally don't listen to radio leicester anymore but I did check the interview out, this is not the first time he has had a vendetta against someone, his commentary on Riccardo (the Portuguese goalkeeper) was nothing short of horrible and got a majority of the crowd chanting for Chris Weale During games when we had a real chance of making the play offs that season, Riccardo didn't have the greatest of games for Leicester but when you actually look at the goals he conceded he was getting blamed for every single one due to Stringer. Bring back Neville foulger!

Wrong? or just not what you want to hear? A lot of us are getting a tad tired of having 'Pearson In' rammed down our throats. So... I'll have my say if that's OK? Pearson has done a good job getting the club thus far: maybe he can turn things around, but I'd question that the gamble of hanging on to find out is now at break point. Any loyalty and stability shown by the board beyond another bad result will be in danger of turning into disloyalty and instability from a large section of the fanbase, AND now the media. So please don't patronise me by opening a reply by telling me I'm wrong - an opinion is neither right or wrong - it's an opinion. And I quote the Oxford dictionary: "Opinion - a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty"

You can have an opinion on which fruit your prefer but you can't have an opinion on whether the theory of evolution is true or not, it either is or it isn't and what one person thinks about it doesn't change that at all. I think the truth in this case is that Stringer cares a lot more about himself than the club. His actions have shown he's happy to see Leicester City put under pressure in order to create a story.

Next thing you tell me you're having to lock your doors and windows at home because you're afraid of being looted. The majority of fans (not just on FT) stands behind the manager. If you can't live with that, your problem. Who is "a lot of us"? 1? 2? 4? 12? And who is "us"? Fact is only few people have a gripe with the manager and most of them have never liked him in the first place. Can't help you with that. Also, Harry did in fact state some "wrongs" with Ian Stringer. In particular, that he's not a Leicester fan. And his journalistic output on LCFC has always had an untertone of "instability" and "disloyalty", as you put it.
MattyFromLE Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 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. Is that not similar to Nigel Pearson then? Nigel has a family, a career, a reputation - just the same as Stringer does. Those attacking Stringers job, are no better, or worse than those calling for Pearson's head IMO. Stringer appears to have lost this "balance" that he once had. One other poster proposed that Stringer simply just rewords his questions. But I know why they do it. RL have got to compete with Sky, BTSports, ESPN and all of the written press. They aren't important anymore, not as much as they were anyways. So Stringer needs a story, he needs to be controversial otherwise - nobody would even consider ringing in on the Monday night moan ins - and it's a "results/ratings" business. That in itself questions Stringer's motives. If he's a Leicester fan, he isn't showing it. If he's being "impartial" I fail to see how suggesting Pearson's career is over is an "impartial" point of view. Radio Leicester were all over Leicester when we won the league, laughing and joking with Pearson, special Nigel Pearson interviews after the promotion party. It's a massively different picture now, the whole club is.

So am I and so do I, so where do I apply for his job? I'm not half as much of a dick as he is.
RowZ Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 Small section, not a large section. I'd challenge that, but no one knows the real 'in/out' figures - depends on what you choose to read or believe...forum polls are just ridiculous and should be edited out IMO. As Pearson said, "the board will do what's best for the club". I doubt forum power will change things - but the national media can damage their brand and they know that. Press will love NP's latest negative comments - sensationalism sells, but it ain't good for the club for sure.

If you listen to the players everything is fine internally though - Stringer is trying to create discord where there is none, in order to create a story. Everything is fine except the results, but Stringer is trying to turn it into more. He may be passionate, but he's a poor commentator and his journalistic standards are sleazy at best.
Babylon Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 I'd challenge that, but no one knows the real 'in/out' figures - depends on what you choose to read or believe...forum polls are just ridiculous and should be edited out IMO. Why should they be edited out? There is a wide demographic and it's about the best you can get in terms of determining support. All recent polls have been well in his favour. Those who want him out are still very much in the minority. What should we believe instead, Ian Stringer? He doesn't speak for the fans, he speaks for himself.
Harry - LCFC Posted 4 December 2014 Posted 4 December 2014 Polls are the best way we have of determining fan opinion. Wanting to have them removed suggests you don't like the results.

All recent poles have been well in his favour. Those who want him out are still very much in the minority. But obviously they need editing out because they don't agree with what he believes

Press will love NP's latest negative comments - sensationalism sells, but it ain't good for the club for sure. In what way were they "negative"? Just because you don't like the manager or because they appear "negative" to you? He put himself in front of his squad, defending it and had a somewhat understandable go at some twats near the touchline towards the end of Tuesday's match. That is reasonable. And I can't see what's "negative" about "if you don't like it, don't come" unless you are one of the few people Pearson is directing his words at.

Jeeez...might be wrong on this one but this is a results business is it not? Would you take relegation under NP with a happy camp, or survival under a managerial tyrant who gets things done? Phone a friend if you like.

I'm referring to his F.O.A.D. comments - better ask the club if they're negative? Certainly doesn't seem a positive thing to say as they're investigating. Angry fans do swear and curse - usually at the ref or away fans...but who can honestly say they've never cursed a LCFC manager at the top of their voice over the years when they disagree with what he's doing? McLintock? Pleat? Taylor? Take your pick.
