Naughty Nigel calling a reporter a pr*ck

[greatman]

Can't see what the problem is reporters in this country are scum,think they have a God given right to print anything they want.these reporters have phone hacked people who have done nothing wrong just to print a story wrecking peoples lives.yet we keep buying papers to read the shot they print.Wake up the media us controlling your lives

[Donut]

I think threads like this show how far down the pan this club has gone.

 

Sitting bottom of the league with a hopeless team, a manager clueless on tactics, preparing a team to get a result, or getting any kind of successful style of play together, whilst acting like an autistic baby to anyone who asks a semi awkward question to him.

 

And some are still lauding him as some sort of untouchable genius.

Think that's you with your multiposting subliminal messaging.

While Pearson should know better it does go to show just how much people lap up whatever the papers tell them. The control/protection the media have is absolutely frightening.

[MC Prussian]

Why would you assume id have a spat with the local radio? just answer the questions.

 

I wouldnt put myself in a position where anything i did on the touchline could be interpreted as a spat.

 

The throat cutting gesture was equally highly unprofessional, and i will not condone that either.

 

 

And the last bit is just a daft first world problems statement that adds nothing.

Do you think Pearson or the club care about what fans write or talk about, for instance on a fans' messageboard such as this (unless it's divisive, racist, personally offensive or libelous)?

 

No? Neither do I.

If Sean Dyche was doing this sort of behaviour you'd have people on here ridiculing him & Burnley, saying how pathetic he is and how they are thankful he's not at our manager.

Sir Nige does it and all of a sudden it's everyone else's fault and they can't blame him.

Papers tell them? Tell them what it's a an interview on the Internet that anyone can freely watch.

Exactly.

 

Its the reporters asking silly questions, its the fans shouting nasty things at me, its players bumping into me, its the man from the radio station i cant get on with.

 

Honestly, look a bit closer to home

Sorry, "the papers" was meant to be "the media" as well. Point still stands.

The media aren't making Pearson act like a spoilt child, he's doing this all himself.

[Donut]

Every single thing he has done, was under his control, and preventable. Its his fault and no one elses.

[SecretPro]

This again.

 

We can argue about the consequences all night but why can't people just grasp that Pearsons behaviour is ridicuous? Some on here actively idolise him for it.

[The Horse's Mouth]

People complain that his interviews are boring, when he shows a bit of character they complain as well. It made me love him again, shows he's still at least up there

[hackneyfox]

The FOAD comment was justified.

The touchline meeting with McArthur was hardly a spat.

If you were the manager, you'd have a spat with Stringer, too. It's all banter, anyway.   Btw, what do you make of that throat-cutting gesture by a public broadcast employee made towards Pearson?

The post-match comment wasn't a spat, but a snide (and understandable) comment made whilst the mic was still on - the "journalist" at the other end was asking the same stupid question over and over again.

 

So, yes. Just anything peculiar to make your blood boil.

Meanwhile, Africa mourns another few casualties caused by malnutrition, HIV or other viruses.

Telling a fan of the club to **** off and die is never justified. I don't care what abuse he's getting you should be beter than that as you're representing the club. I'd hazard a guess that the fan was going befor Pearson turned up and will still be going when he's gone. 

What was worse, that you all seem tohave forgotten, is that he has twice told us 'don't bother turning up if you don't like it'. That is unforgivable.

 

how people can claim that he's a great bloke and inspirational is beyond me, he's making my club look like a joke.

Because believe it or not, you can be interesting and engaging and not act like a twunt at the same time. Whod have thought that?

[inckley fox]

I think what Pearson said is funny and I don't really care how professional it is.  Pearson is the same prickly, no nonsense character he has always been, and the fact he doesn't snuggle up to the media in today's media obsessed game is something to be applauded in my opinion.

 

People's opinions will differ, but I wonder whether that's due to Pearson's behaviour in this instance or because of our poor season.  Would the same people who are slating him for this be laughing their heads off if he had said it last season when top of the Championship? 

 

How many people, in whatever they do for a living, have called someone a name or otherwise criticised a co-worker or client who has been an idiot?  I bet all of us have, we just don't tend to have cameras rolling when we do it.

 

Last season he was doing a good job, and his public behaviour suggested very much what his results suggested - that he was calm, in control, composed and coping with expectations.

 

This year he is doing a dreadful job, and his public behaviour suggests very much what his results suggest - that he has lost his cool, all sense of control, composure and is completely incapable of dealing with expectations.

 

Yes, it's funny. But it's also the reaction of a man who can't manage to behave as a top level manager is generally expected to behave. Now, if he was behaving in the same way and was in 13th place then his behaviour could suggest whatever anybody wished it to suggest, it would be largely irrelevant because his results would suggest he was doing a job.

 

Sadly this isn't the case, and the picture continues to develop of a man who is completely incapable of coping with the demands of Premiership management.

I'm not trying to defend or protect Pearson. I'm merely pointing out how the control/protection the media have frightens me and also how some seem to believe every word of what they read without considering context. It's all about headlines these days, rather than actual content. It's sad to see the man look like a ticking time-bomb in every press conference and he really needs to reel his reactions in. However, I do have a smidgen of sympathy because of the idiocy of "I'll ask what I want, however many times I want" reporters who try to act like smart arses.

Do you love the local lout when he twats someone? The local pisshead for hurling abuse at people?

What's worse - a manager representing a club swearing at a fan or a fan representing an entire fanbase swearing at a football manager?

 

Your call.

[Bettsj2]

The question wasn't that silly.

Steve Bruce criticised us and Pearson was asked about it. Given what occurred in the Champions League, it was a pretty standard question. Its not as if there was much else in the game to talk about.

Nigel's response was as blunt and dismissive as he ever was with Stringer. The reporter didn't sound like he was trying to get a rise out of Pearson. If anything, he sounds surprised and un prepared for such an aggressive reaction.

Pearson comes across as the fvcking ****. Not the reporter.

My mother's a Catholic but she doesn't represent the entire Church, come on. That fan didn't represent me, or you. And he wasn't being paid a million a year to represent us either. Pearson, on the other hand...

If the media wanted to get a feisty story done on it, he would. And they'd blow it equally out of proportion.

 

But at the moment, that doesn't sell.

[Taffydag]

He's an embarrassment to this football club. Why does he feel the need to have these outbursts at people who are merely doing their job? When he isn't doing his properly (which is all the time), anyone who moans about it gets told to "f#ck off and die". The irony of his hypocrisy is embarrassing. Can't wait to crack open the champagne when this idiot gets sacked.

So it's not ok for Pearson to have a go at someone for doing his job badly but it's perfectly ok for you to have a go at Pearson????????
