Bob HarrisHOST

There was one person I wanted to meet more than anyone else, and that was our guest today.
Bob HarrisHOST
2:48
And I called the BBC Radio Leicester sports desk, and they linked me through to his manager, who organized us to meet on, I think it was, uh, junction twenty-eight of the M1 service station at that point.
Bob HarrisHOST
3:05
This would have been nineteen eighty-two, I think.
Bob HarrisHOST
3:08
And I remember following him.
Jamie PrestonGUEST

They wanted this kind of style of football.
Jamie PrestonGUEST

They wanted that kind of style.

Aaron PaulHOST
32:04
Leicester, 17th in League One after eight games.
Aaron PaulHOST
32:06
And Chief Football Officer John Rudkin spoke to Owen Palmeratkin at BBC Radio Leicester before the game on Saturday.
Jon RudkinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
32:12
Yeah, obviously it's been a very disappointing period from the many heights that we've had and witnessed over the years.
Jon RudkinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
32:21
And we're all disappointed to see ourselves now sitting in League One and the position that we're in.
Jon RudkinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
35:44
We've added James who's added to the expertise across the football club and to ensure that that strategy and the plan is in place and making sure that we're keeping on track going forward.
Aaron PaulHOST
35:58
He was talking about James McCarron, sporting director at Leicester City.
Aaron PaulHOST
36:01
So that was the voice of John Rudkin, chief football officer with Owen Palmer Atkin of BBC Radio Leicester, talking about their nothing short of disastrous, woeful start to the season.
Aaron PaulHOST
36:13
I mean, it could be worse.
Emily HerbertGUEST
11:48
So I did just journalism at Leicester.
Emily HerbertGUEST
11:52
And then I joined BBC Local, which was Leicester, BBC Radio Leicester at the time.
Emily HerbertGUEST
11:59
And I was playing rugby at uni and Adam Whitty, the sports editor there, was like, oh, my God, a girl who plays sport will take her.
Emily HerbertGUEST
12:10
So I joined the sports department.
DavidHOST
22:40
We would stop the problem.
DavidHOST
22:42
It just shows you that it's either something to do with the mind, i.e. we're not switched on, which I doubt, but also there was a bit of talk that Gloucester looked really up for it in their warm-up and some of the TNT guys when I watched the game back today and also a little bit of, I think I heard Tom Vandell talking about it in the BBC Radio Leicester pod that he'd spotted that he felt as though they were more intense, shall we say, in the pre-game warm-up.
DavidHOST
23:12
Now, I'm sure Jeff Parling would look at that.
DavidHOST
23:15
He would know if we were relaxed.
JordanHOST
12:48
Yeah, so, well, I did want to start with the actual football, but there's so much gone on off the pitch that I suppose we'd better talk about that.
JordanHOST
12:59
I mean, the thing I probably want to kick off with is it's the first time we've heard from our esteemed Chief Football Officer, John Rudkin, for 10, 15 years maybe, with a very hastily cobbled together interview with BBC Radio Leicester.
JordanHOST
13:16
I don't think anybody knew about it before basically they tweeted that they were going to be joined by John Rudkin.
JordanHOST
13:24
It was conducted in the press box, which again, I find completely bizarre how many of the football clubs conduct an interview with their, well, other than the owner, of course, the sort of highest member of their staff in a press box, sort of an hour before a three o'clock kickoff.
GeorgeHOST
13:49
Yeah, so, well, I did wanna start with, with the, the actual football, but there's so much gone on off the pitch that I suppose we better talk about that.
GeorgeHOST
14:00
I mean, the, the, the thing I probably wanna kick off with is it's the first time we've heard from our esteemed chief football officer, Jon Rudkin, for 10, 15 years maybe, um, with a very hastily cobbled together interview with BBC Radio Leicester.
GeorgeHOST
14:16
Um, I don't think anybody knew about it before basically they tweeted that, that they were gonna be joined by Jon Rudkin.
GeorgeHOST
14:24
It was conducted in the press box, which again, I find completely bizarre.
