Player interviews

[extonsred]

Just watched the Fally interview...whoever holds the interview we always get the same questions..bland, mundane, and whoever the player, we get the same responses!! Understand don't want them to be a challenge either on a personal or language level but please can we have some part of the interview eliciting wider info about the player and not just the ...'what draws you to Bristol City'.

We already know what draws them to Bristol City. The opportunity to end their career at Bristol R*vers.

What questions would you ask?

New player interviews are bland because they have to be. No interviewer would keep their job if they asked difficult questions and inadvertently embarrassed the new guy.

People want personality. Get to know the person rather than the usual crap where they have to say nice things about the club and the fans… that much is obvious (aside from cash and a chance of making Prem (probs not with us)).

There is never any deviance from the script or reaction to the responses given. It’s simply onto the next question.  The questions are usually loaded anyway.

It doesn’t have to be so bland.

It’s not just the questions though. It’s just a script to get through

The guy is French & is answering questions in his second (possibly third) language.

I have less of an issue with it in these circumstances.
