Rob1742 Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I like Stringers enthusiasm, but believe he has not grown into the job and is not learning his trade as he should. I hear he is a decent guy from many people, but to do the job properly, he needs to act in a more professional manner. But I don't think he is bothered with that, full of confidence and not thinking of the consequences of his actions. I heard about the cut throat gesture and know the player who was initially involved. To me, that is a complete lack of professionalism and isn't helpful to anyone, the club, radio Leicester or himself. I just think he has too big an ego to let it bother him, but it really should. His commentary is enthusiastic. His relationship building with the club is very poor, bordering on being naive. He needs to take a step back, look at his weaknesses and work on them, rather than take the I am invincible approach. I back the club with this, Stringer has caused this, Pearson has never had an issue with any other journo. If you are reading this Ian, if you don't analyse yourself and try and put things right, you ain't doing the right thing for your family, because one day you could end up on the sausage. I know its a difficult job, but it isn't black or white and others can do it, so you should be able to do it as well. Look at the challenge that Pearson offers, rather than go at it like a bull in a china shop. Get this right and you are doing well and will look back with a success behind you.
GingerrrFox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 If you don't want to talk to a twat. You don't have to. The beauty of being a free man.
Raj Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Fergie abandoned all bbc interviews. I know it was for different reasons but the world goes on.I think the interviews we get now are alot better anyway!!"
Jace Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 People seem to forget these players and managers unless its a required media conference are under no contractual obligation to go and speak to the media before or after a match it is of there own free will. If the journalists don't want to show them a mutual level of respect then they are going to turn around and refuse to speak. If someone with a clipboard on the high st insulted me and then asked me to complete their survey with them I'm not hanging around to talk.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I cannot believe why it is so few people actually understand that the modern way, maybe even the only way to interview people on radio and television, in sport, politics or any other form of trying to gather information from people who wish to avoid answering difficult questions, is to be 'adversarial'. Watch any news programme and many sports programmes and consider some of the best over the years, Paxman, David Frost and John Humphries. They all do, or have, adopted 'in your face', tough questioning because it is the only way. Get real, and grow up children! Seriously?! The way someone interviews a politician/public official etc is very different to how we deal with sports people. Listen to the questions Sky, MOTD, 5Live, talkSPORT, the written press etc ask. They rarely go in hard like Paxman, Frost because in sport it's a completely different beast most of the time. You have to build a relationship with managers/players/clubs so when the shit hits the fan, you have some goodwill in the locker when you ask the tough stuff.

Even if you could compare Stringer's pathetic questions about whether Pearson's job is at risk or who he is signing to Paxman -Paxman interviewed politicians who went on TV in order to gain votes from the public. They needed to be there in other words. Pearson on the other hand sees a complete tool ready to ask irrelevant questions after being disrespectful. Would you take the time to go to him when you have so much more to do post match? We don't miss out because we still hear from him

Cracking post that man. Couldn't have summed it up better myself.
whitlock Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 Officially joined the Stringer blocked on Twitter crew.

A politician will avoid a question because it either puts them, their colleagues or their party politics in a bad light. Asking Pearson if he's going to be sacked is something he cannot answer, asking him about transfer targets is something he has made clear he wont answer, asking him about the formation and game plan in advance of a game he isnt going to answer. He's said it enough times and we all understand why he wouldnt want to (or simply cannot) answer these questions so why persist in asking? Only has himself to blame.

Paxman, David Frost and John Humphries... did they interview the same person week in week out? Nope, different person every week, who they hammer in the hope they say something headline grabbing. If they had to interview the same person every week you'd see a completely different style, you'd see relationship building and trust building. Hammer them like they do and they will get stone walled from the second week onwards and that's exactly where we stand now. Build a relationship with the interviewee so that they trust you to open up, they trust you that you're not just looking for a juicy headline or a nice soundbite. When the time comes that difficult questions need asking they are likely yo be far more receptive.

whitlock Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 what did you say to him?After the Hull game to Nugent's missus..@chloetee88: That was hard to listen too. @jamiewhitlock: @chloetee88 why because @StringerSport is a knob?

johnny the fox Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I expect nothing from the Liverpool game.. But for the villa game lets get fully behind Nige.. come on ...there's only one Nigel Pearson !
Raj Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I'd say the vast majority of fans have and are behing NP. Imagine other managers in a losing streak of 13 and not getting Booed? WBA a shining example!
Corky Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 I'd say the vast majority of fans have and are behing NP. Imagine other managers in a losing streak of 13 and not getting Booed? WBA a shining example! WBA fans never wanted Irvine in the first place, Pearson still has credit in the bank after last season with a fairly large section of the crowd.
Raj Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 WBA fans never wanted Irvine in the first place, Pearson still has credit in the bank after last season with a fairly large section of the crowd. Are you argueing with me Corky over something i think we both agree with??? :xmasbiggrin:
TheUltimateWinner Posted 30 December 2014 Posted 30 December 2014 "Final one from me, and I've got to ask because I'm the voice of the fans" Is Sean from Enderby doing interviews now?!
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 31 December 2014 Posted 31 December 2014 SeanFromEnderby is a legend I blocked or muted him on twitter because was too much of a loon.
termite111 Posted 31 December 2014 Posted 31 December 2014 Didn't realise until reading on here about the cutthroat gesture stringer did to a player which is a disgrace. I got blocked by him on twitter after the Liverpool game for simply calling him a muppet for his interview to Pearson after the match. I take it he doesn't like an ounce of criticism himself. Maybe we should start an agenda of our own against him to get him the sack!
Matt Posted 31 December 2014 Posted 31 December 2014 Not that I use Shitter but whatever happened to the StringerOut account/'campaign'?
HitchinFox Posted 31 December 2014 Posted 31 December 2014 I've said this before - Stringer's live match commentary in games is much better than those before him. But that's where it should end. 90 minutes, fook off. He is not a journalist and never will be. He clearly has no idea how to conduct interviews. Even last season, when Nige and him were best buddies and everything was going swimmingly, his questions made no sense at times. I think that's where the root cause of the problem is. Nige has always known Stringer is a muppet but has tolerated him. But he has absolutely no respect for him. Now, as Stringer has tried to run some sort of a campaign, it has been easy for Nige to say fook off and die. Pearson gets asked tough questions by all the national broadcasters and press. Yet he hasn't had a hissy fit. Why? Because the questions themselves. They are well thought out and show that the person making the question actually wants to hear what the manager has to say. Rather than trying to get the manager to say something particular.
