cityfan Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 For an experienced manager who has been in front of the camera probably thousands of times, why can he not look at the interviewer or down the lens so that he is addressing us!? All you ever see is the side of his head. For someone so critical of the players, likely justified, he would be a lot more believable if he didn't hide away when saying it by looking down and sideways. If NP reads these threads, please look down the barrel of the camera. It's not that hard and you will come across with far more authority and candour.

Kodjias Wrist Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well he's speaking to the interviewer not the camera that would be weird as I dont know any other managers who do that. Also why does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finley_Smith10 Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 don’t know if you’re being serious or not...he’s talking to the person whose interviewing him so why would he be looking at the camera. Some people just don’t do eye contact or don’t do it as frequently as others. Don’t think I’ve seen any interview ever where the person being interviewed looks straight at the camera when they’re answering. Can’t quite get my head round why you’ve posted this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the problems NP has on his hands, he is suppose to be concerned on his interview technique. I am sure this will turn the club around.

numbeast Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Not every manager/head coach is confident or happy in front of a T.V. camera. Cotts and LJ appeared to love doing the TV interviews, Holden alway appeared happy enough. Pearson seems to me to be the type who does these interview because he must. Given our performances the questions are almost alway the same ones week after week. Being a TV loving manager isn't what Pearson is about, he wants results on the pitch and time in front of a camera is time wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Perhaps we should have Marty Feldman as manager as he would be able to comply with your rather strange observation. He would probably be able to explain with some authority the comedic like defending we all have endured over the last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
