Tewksbury Posted January 8 Posted January 8 38 minutes ago, mkowl said: So my point to Staton is that his responsibility journalistically is to focus on the overall picture and not just the body language of Rohl His body language is much better than this time last January, when they were all prophesying him leaving after not being backed. They've come out with the same story in every window since relegation. "Manager looks stressed, makes vague comment, must be leaving, Chansiri's done for" Are people really falling for it again, or is it just wilful ignorance? 1 Quote

It’s people hearing what they want to hear to advance their anti-Chansiri agenda. And then the local journos lap up the social media engagement so think that is what fans want to hear, so they post more of the same and the situation perpetuates. Understandable but imo the journalists should rise above it, difficult though as they have paymasters to satisfy. 1 Quote

He is not really interested beyond raising the supporter hackles on DR's comments about Chansiri. I suggested a journalist should be more rounded in what they report, I expect to be blocked imminently. Checked out your X conversation with Staton. What a nupty he is. Obviously didn't understand or want to converse regarding P&S and this being a potential limitation on spending. I do find his anti DC slant very poor form from a supposedly balanced / impartial BBC employee. Amazed DC has not got after him as well as some of the sabre rattlers on other forums.

His anti DC rhetoric is cos his NFL loving buddy Shaw was lampooned for being a fake. 2 Quote

My slightly more blunt suggestion to him re. this saw him immediately blocking me on X. Hearing him disrespect someone on FH for having a more favourable view on DC than his own cemented my lack of respect for him as a presenter. Quote

Can you imagine the negative press if the club, or DC, went after a BBC presenter legally? He stays just the right side of opinion and conjecture. Time and time again you'll hear him say "but why are other fans saying different?" "The rumours suggest..." "The stories coming out are..." But as for the other sabre rattlers, that go a lot further, I'd be going full Dave Allen and hitting those forums hard. Quote

Tewksbury Posted January 8 Posted January 8 There are probably less than 10 posters on there who are pretty knowledgeable and make it worth visiting. I honestly reckon that if they left, the entire site would die as they drive most of the casual traffic. 1 Quote

The club actually did similar with the Star's Tony Pritchett late 60's (ish) for over-stepping the mark as a reporter - and to be fair he was highly regarded in his field. Ended up swapping over to S2 and being replaced by Paul Thompson. Quote

Not exactly the left footed left sided player we need. Not a natural leader either. Ipswich have made him available for loan though as he's fallen down the order. Contracted until 2027. Quote

Tylluan Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 Iorfa's prolonged injury absence could be why we're now being linked with Harry Clarke. Would make us very top heavy in that area when Dom returned, though Quote
