New signing media interviews - what would you ask?

[JLW]

This is not exclusive to Everton or any particular player, it’s an outcome of the fear of being sued or complained about on all clubs’ behalves.

Does anyone else wish the media team would ask new players a different set of questions? Because it a the same thing for every player, and the players themselves are mostly media trained to give the same answers now.

Club Media Officer; “So, new player, what are your thoughts on joining this massive club”?

New Player; “yeah it’s a massive club, huge fanbase, so passionate”.

CMO; “when you’ve played here in the Premier League in the past what have been your thoughts on the fans”?

NP; “yeah so passionate, huge club, bigger than Ron Jeremy’s member, kick it in the goal”.

CMO; “And now you’ve had a look round, how do you feel about the new world class stadium”?

NP; “yeah totally world class, amazing group, can’t wait to give 100% for the amazing fans of this amazing club, tremendous bunch the lads. Kick it in the goal”.

Come on, I wanna see them draw the personality out. I wanna know who they wanted to be growing up. What their favourite film/car/band/porn genre search is.

What you’d you ask new signings for media duties on arrival?

Exactly why i rarely listen to them.

Same as pre match interviews, Managers "Yeah its a tough place to come, we know they will give everything" when playing away to a team who hasnt won a game at home all season.

Manager would tear all the players a new one if they never won.

Everything is scripted.

See this is it - I am genuinely interested but I want to hear their opinions, not corporation media-speak.

You know we’re a huge entity of a club, I know that, they know that.

They don’t have to declare it every five seconds.

I agree mate...The thing is you're very unlikely to hear said Footballers opinions on anything because the club are far more concerned in driving home the messaging.

Also god forbid the player should say something not inline with the clubs thinking.

I'd like for once the clubs media team to just throw curve ball.

Hi Mark,Welcome to the club.

"What's your favourite Everton goal of all time?"

 

[hirons11]

"Can you play right back?"

 

[FTY]

Don't mind what they actually ask just needs to less of the closed/leading questions - they're media trained, they're probably gonna say what you're forcing them too anyway
