Should Dellor Be Sacked?

[Schards#2]

Should he be sacked for asking BR unwelcome questions? - No

Should he be sacked for having a manner and voice that makes me want to throw the radio out of the window? - IMO, yes.

He does a decent enough job. Just a shame he has such a whiney nasal voice. Why are there so many of these on local radio ?!

[parky]

Voted no but I want his job.

[crossie]

Whether he's a cock or not, I think it's highly unfair for people to want him to lose his job just because they don't like him. Especially if he reads any of this. He's done nothing wrong, IMHO. I've been listening to BBC Berks commentary for about 4 years and I've always found it interesting, whether I believe with what's being said or not. If you don't wanna hear other people's opinions, turn your radio off.

It's on the BBCRB Podcast I believe.

No it isn't.

OK, so it's on the Andrew Peach show from this morning podcast, as Peachy mentioned something about hearing it on the podcast, but I wasn't really taking much notice.

Dellor makes my ears bleed and has demonstrated on endless occasions over the years that he really doesn't know a single thing about football. I'm not surprised Rodgers was stopped in his tracks when Dellor said the performance was worse than against Palace; it's a truly astonishing take on a game where we've totally outplayed our opponents and on any other day would've won by miles.

What I didn't like was the way Rodgers responded - he just couldn't articulate how ridiculous he found the statement and started coming out with some nonsense about not being a true supporter and the like. Dellor did reasonably well in the face of it to be fair to him. Rodgers is still young but that's no excuse for chomping on bait even quicker than frimmers does.

Posh voice ! You should hear his old man..and he's called Ralph (or is it pronounced "Raif") but we should not hold it against him for being posh..broadcasting is obviously in the family genes.

I have to take issue with him for a few things he said pre-game Saturday though..the words "rotten to the core" were used and he was not talking about his radio station. ...I thought that was very unfair on the club though obviously serious mistakes have been made ..BR being one of them.

What he and so many others forget is that the club was relegated on goal difference and in spite of awful form was just one game away from promotion last year..not that I am saying we deserved promotion...(but just look at Fulham now having benefitted from our misfortune).

What I am saying is we are one of the worst victims of the iniqitous system that is the premiership where those that go down suffer a sudden drop of at least 800% in income overnight...and if you budget for the possibility of that by not investing in more costly players then you virtually guarantee that you will go down..and if you invest in the players and get relegated and do not go STRAIGHT back up.. you can find yourself in the financial mire and having to sell and rebuild...especially in a recession

The system is wrong and there should be far more equilibrium between the levels......discuss Tim..I bet you read this site as part of your job.

Now I must find that podcast having got that off my chest..could not be arsed to ring in.

Mr Angry was on this morning. He talks sense.

I think we had a glimpse of just how much pressure the guy is under right now....

[Tinrib]

As it turns out we should've beaten them easily if we'd been more clinical infront of goal, but that's nothing new over the last month or so.

More like almost 12 months !

[Royal Lady]

He puts himself under pressure by making out we're playing well every bloody game and we're learning by our mistakes. I've seen precious little to support those statements all season tbh.

BBCRB this morning read out texts and had phone calls both in support of Dellor and slagging him off. So, they gave a balanced view. But anyone who thinks the way BR reacted and his comments about "not being a supporter of this club" were valid, are imo, totally wrong. As I said before, it shows BR's managerial immaturity for a start, which we've already seen enough of with his team selections, spin and rhetoric after the game and his seeming lack of tactical nous.

Not really, for the first 6 months of the year we didn't create much in the way of chances.

At least now, with lesser players I might add, we're finally looking likely to score because we're creating the chances. That's a relatively new thing that's come about in the last month or two.

No, I mean it's not where it usually is, so either someone from the club must've said something or the BBC have removed it themselves...

What about when Fergie or Rafa react in a similar petulant way with the press? Banning them, slating them, shouting them down. Is that their immaturity?

I don't think Rodgers handled it well, but I'm not sure it's just down to a lack of experience, it's down to the way he is and probably, as I think Mags said, the sheer surprise at the suggestion that the performance was worse than the Palace game.

[Big Foot]

Dellor should be receiving plaudits for asking the questions we want answers. End of the day he is there to do a job, not to be some kind of outsourced PR function for RFC. If that's what you want to listen to, 107 FM are in need of a few listeners.

[Royal Lady]

If the podcast has been pulled from the beeb, then it can only mean that RFC agree with the majority in that BR was wrong to react in the way he did and they don't want other people hearing it. Though, I wouldn't have thought that RFC have enough clout to do that, do they??

listening now , blushing , cripes , worse than watching an episode of the OFFICE

Perhaps the football club told BBCRB to remove it and to sort Dellor out unless they want to lose access to the club?

[Royal With Cheese]

I've just listened to the interview and thought it wasn't that bad. Rodgers made a joke about Dellor not being involved in the preparation of the team - not banning him from the training ground as one rumour suggested.

LOL at Dellors analogy of the game with the Captain of the Titanic after Rodgers described the performance as "outstanding". The voyage went pretty well, apart from the bit with the iceberg!
