Why no Pearson interview on radio Leicester

[buzzy]

pearson stringer and players are all ****ing shit at there jobs in any other job they   would be sacked by know

[cc_star]

Why does anyone rely on RL, Premier League managers post match interviews are on every radio station, and Soccer Saturday/Final Score on TV

Only have to see how good Pearson's interview with Sky was after the Villa game, or Henry Winter's amazing piece in the Telegraph to see what great, frank interviews Pearson gives... And how the BBC are wasting our tax on the inept, petty, wank stain that is Stringer under the pretence of pashunnnnnnnn which as you can see rouses the rabble on here

[MC Prussian]

Can anyone tell me why Pearson was not interviewed on Radio Leicester? Are the fans not entitled to hear what our Manager has to say about the game on our local radio station?

I didn't know Pearson was legally required to talk to Radio Leicester - or do they have an exclusive contract?

[StanSP]

Foxylady probably going through that special time of the month so just needs something to moan about...

[Dickov22]

Pearson's post match interviews have been the same for weeks. 'Promising situations' is his new phrase, because he can't even say 'some good chances'. We don't create them anymore.

[RedSoxUK]

Pearson isn't being arrogant for having a spat with a fan who was shouting abuse right at him.

Pearson isn't being arrogant for ignoring Stringer / BBC Radio Leicester - at least they're allowed in still, with streaming / other radio stations filling the void on what was bias (towards Leicester) commentary, then there will be no need for them to cover Leicester at all in the future.

[Corky]

To be honest I don't want to hear what Pearson has to say anyway. It's always the same. " team worked hard"..." Good group of players", " we go again next week".

I have to say that it's far more petty on the side of Pearson rather than the local radio. It's another example of Pearson's arrogance, much like his spat with the fan.

 

It's arrogance because he responded to someone who was being verbally abusive? I'd say that was just a natural thing.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Stringer asks the right questions which annoys Pearson. He also doesn't shy away from the difficult ones which is why Pearson has boycotted him. Just another example of mardy Pearson. If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen PLEASE!!!!!!!

 

I don't necessarily think it's an issue of the right questions or the wrong questions. I think the problem is how they're asked and Ian Stringer failing to know the person he is interviewing.

 

Ian Stringer has better access to Nigel Pearson than ANY other journalist in the country. He can interview him midweek, before the match, after the match, get him on the football forum. In theory they should have an excellent working relationship (even if it's not an excellent personal one) but they don't. And for that you have to look at Ian Stringer.

 

I can tell you now just from listening to interviews over the last three years (never mind conducting them) what Nigel Pearson will and won't generally speak about.

 

Won't speak about: transfer speculation, his job security, comments that other managers have made about the club

 

Will speak about: player injuries, why he made certain changes, what he feels the team did/did not do well

 

Stick within these parameters and you'll get a decent interview from Pearson, as much as he's not that keen on the media side of things as it is. Stick within those parameters, get to know him and handle yourself professionally you'll gain his respect and get even more than you could have hoped for (see Henry Winter).

 

Instead, Ian Stringer constantly asks the questions that you just know Pearson won't answer. The amount of times you hear: "Ian, you know I don't speak about..." or "My response to that is as it always is...". It must get very tiring trying to work with someone who always presses you to do things that they should know you're not going to do. It's like asking the person in the office who doesn't drink tea if they want tea three times a day! And therein, I think, lies the reason Pearson and Stringer don't get on.

 

It's not a case of him not wanting to answer difficult questions. I think it's a case of him not wanting to answer the same question, not respecting the person asking the questions because of their inability to work with him conducively and not appreciating their sensationalist, headline-hunting style in general. It's almost an issue of trust as well. Remember last time Stringer was banned because he leaked team news early?

 

You can bet that Pearson will have told other journalists things off the record and they will have respected that and not put it in their articles. Can he trust Ian Stringer with something "off the record"? No chance.

 

It's a complete break down in working relationship that has been coming for some time.

Just listen to another radio station to hear him.

[Marie84]

ALL managers go along the  same lines and as many people have already stated elsewhere, managers will rarely say anything different as the media are always looking to twist comments and read things that aren't there. Arrogance has nothing to do with it. I'd have said far more to the 'fan' than Pearson did and I wouldn't call myself arrogant.

Wow! My comment got a debate going which is more than your childish comment will. The point is a local radio station has more of an interest in local topics (our club) than radio 5 have or BBC TV.

The reason we want our manager speaking to the local station is not just for the post match reaction but for the interviews in the week and the access we should get from our local station.

I don't blame Pearson in the slightest. Stringer had a second chance with him when Nigel was reappointed and he hasn't learned his lesson.

Stringer tried to present this relationship of "great mutual respect" between him and Pearson last season but its when its down to Stringer to present a controversial story with two sides that he shows how out of his depth he is.

To give an unbiased representation of a story should be the fundamental aim of any BBC employee and his sheer arrogance gets in the way of him from learning

[Harry - LCFC]

It's childish and pathetic on both sides. I suggest Stringer does some grovelling and Pearson gets off his high horse. The only people that suffer are the fans and its about time they put their differences aside and grew up.

 

How exactly?

 

I've heard a lot of people trying to speak on my behalf recently. "The fans deserve to know", "the fans are being made to suffer"," "it's not fair on the fans". All of which I disagree with. You might be getting upset over this but please realise that the majority of people aren't with so stop trying to drag them onto you're side.

Spot on

Stringer doesn't speak for me, and Ginetta doesn't either.

In the past week I've got more out of Sky (post-match) and Telegraph (midweek) than I have out of my local radio station

If anything I deserve better from them, not from Pearson who's proved elsewhere just how interesting & frank he can be

[StanSP]

Wow! My comment got a debate going which is more than your childish comment will. The point is a local radio station has more of an interest in local topics (our club) than radio 5 have or BBC TV.

 

No. Your question asked why Pearson wasn't interviewed by Radio Leicester. That is thanks to Ian Stringer and the way he handled himself after the incident at Liverpool. So because of that, Pearson and the players have refused to speak to Radio Leicester and to me that speaks volumes in a positive way. 

 

As for a local radio station having more of an interest in local topics (our club) what the fvck do you expect? I'm glad they have an interest in Leicester City. I'd rather that than them having an interest in Man Utd or Liverpool or some other football club which isn't local. But like I said, they can thank Stringer for being a bit of a bell end as to the reason why Pearson won't give them any time after a match. 

 

And again, going back to your original point at the start of the thread, of course the fans are entitled to hear what the manager is going to say. What isn't an entitlement is for Stringer to act quite unprofessionally in the circumstances as well as there being no obligation for Pearson or players to speak to the station as far as we're aware. 

 

It's not like Radio Leicester is the only avenue for thoughts and opinions coming from the club so you can stop getting your knickers in a twist about that. At least 5 Live and BBC TV will ask the right questions and show Pearson some respect which is why they get any appropriate responses. All Stringer does is try to get one over on Pearson either directly or indirectly as shown recently and that would upset a lot of people, not only our manager. I'm surprised Pearson has given him this long to be honest. 

[Mike Oxlong]

Pearson doesn't suffer fools gladly. There's your answer.

calf strain is what ive heard was why he wasn't in the squad but I heard (alleged) nugents dad was taken out by stewards .  mistaken identity or bollox I don't know .

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Stringer asks the right questions which annoys Pearson. He also doesn't shy away from the difficult ones which is why Pearson has boycotted him. 

 

That's not exactly true though.

That's a massive contradiction if ever I saw one. In one breath you say I can't speak for fans, and then you do the exact same thing by saying the majority dont care. Do you know the majority of Leicester fans then? At no point did I say everyone cares, but I know a fair few fans that do, some of which don't have the internet or sky. Radio Leicester is their main source of info and content. My opinion isn't going to change just because Harry disagrees.

It isn't a contradiction. From reading this forum I can see that most people are with Nigel and against Stringer.

Vote with your feet

Pearson gives candid interviews all over, tune in to anyone to hear/watch/read him. RL will soon get the message and get a proper commentator/journalist in rather than that useless gimp, fanzone reject whose wages I'm forced to contribute to under threat of imprisonment whether I get any value out of it or not
