    Usual clueless garbage from the Guardian, the paper that gets it wrong more often than not.

    Better left to the likes of Martin Samuel of the Mail or David Walsh of the Sunday Times, who will flesh out the bones of David Conn's fiscal insights and sniff out the ****ishness of their interview subject.

    No wonder Ehaw was keen to that interview with such a supine non inquisitive journo who let him trot out his preening spiel unhindered and unchecked.

    "Do you regret selling Robertson and Maguire cheaply?"
    "With hindsight, was it a mistake to force out Steve Bruce's scouting team who found these two?
    "What do you think stops people buying the club? Are you asking too much?"
    "Do you think the club would have been easier to sell as a PL entity? With hindsight, do you accept any responsibility for the off field chaos that has directly led to relegation? Do you regret it?"
    "Could you have committed more resources to staying up, or was your focus purely on recouping your 'investment'?"

    etc , etc

    If he sells it by Christmas (highly unlikely) then I'll really believe there is a Santa.

    Do you honestly believe the newspaper went to them?

    The Guardian is superior, especially in accuracy, to most daily rags.

    Just because it has a differing narrative to your racist beliefs doesn’t make it wrong.

    Not anymore accurate or inaccurate then anything else. It’s mostly opinion pieces like most newspapers but has a different leaning. Can’t trust anything you read in any paper.

    Especially so, for me anyway, as it doesn't have one of those god awful pay walls that make most online rags unreadable.

    Ehab only does stage-managed interviews

    Ben Fisher is a freelance journo , probably chosen by Ehab , no way is he going to speak to David Conn or anybody else who is
    going to ask real questions

    I have no problem with the Guardian in general but their coverage of the football league is shockingly bad

    A small private helicopter landed at Cottingham Parks Golf Club today. Could have been a prospective new owner keeping it low key and viewing the training ground.

    Just sayin' like.

    Yes, it's nickname is the Grauniad such is its fame for accuracy. I managed to avoid the online begging bowl proffered by the site.

    I’ve not see that website before the ranking system doesn’t really seem to be built on solid ground. Number of awards, quality, how sensationalist etc. They’re either meaningless or subjective.
