Another Newspaper banned

Personally I think they have taken the correct action, for being totally untrue

which has devasted one or two posters on here


http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20140218/club-statement_2281670_3675354


The Club feels it necessary to respond to the article published in the Sunday Express newspaper, headlined 'Pardew's One Game From Sack - Beat Villa or it's the Bullet', and claimed as an 'exclusive' by the paper. The article was written by John Richardson.

We consider it extremely poor practice for a newspaper to print such an article without first seeking comment or clarification from the Club. The article was completely untrue and we can only assume published for commercial reasons or as an attempt to unsettle and disrupt.

The article also created subsequent ill-informed and damaging coverage in other media outlets and across social media.

To publish an article of such nature gives the profession of journalism a bad name. Journalists and newspapers which print such wholly inaccurate stories should be aware that there will be consequences for their actions.

Newcastle United will not accept false, misleading, mischievous or inflammatory reporting such as this and will take appropriate action as and when necessary. To this end, Newcastle United can confirm that the Sunday Express is banned with immediate effect. This ban does not extend to the paper's sister publications, including the Daily Star, who made contact with the Club to check the validity of the story and accordingly did not publish it.



if any mod would like to stick an 'S' in the title for me Newspaper

 

Fair do's on this one.

 

Newcastle United will not accept false, misleading, mischievous or inflammatory reporting

I like this bit, as it seem it is alright for Ashley's mob to do it

 

You don't mean there's been false, misleading, mischievous and inflammatory reporting from Ashley's mob do you?

Well I neva!

 

Would love to see the weekly press conference boycotted by ALL newspapers and TV just to see the reaction. Would probably suit A$hley though as he tries to ban all comments against him.

 

Have Ashley's mob ever reported on anything?

 

Fat Mike is beelin as much as the Mackems do over dodgy refs.
Papers have always spouted crap and always will.
NUFC shouldn't be so sensitive.

 

Unless its close to the truth?

 

It's possible, which makes his beeling naive. I would just let the press carry on, issue rebuttals and stop crying like a bitch.

 

Media/Fans/Public: "Hey, Mike - what's going on with Kinnear leaving the club, why did you sack him??"

Mike Ashley/NUFC: "................................."

Everyone: "Erm, ok, So is it true that he was told to leave because he couldn't get players in? Or is it something to do with the Cabaye fee not being big enough? What does this mean for Pardew, who isn't enjoying a good spell...again...is he under pressure?"

MA/NUFC: "....................................."

Everyone: "Ok, so Pardew's under pressure, or isn't he? Does he have your full backing, as moves in the last two transfer windows would suggest not? Are you refreshing the whole structure at the club? Are you looking for a new director of football? Do you have anything at all to say on these subjects, the fans would like to know?"

MA/NUFC: "..................................................."

Everyone: "So maybe these are difficult questions - can you tell anyone what the current strategy for Newcastle United is? It's been noted that a considerable number of fans have decided not to renew, what are your plans to win these people back again? Do you intend to reinvest the considerable profits back into the club, at any level? Do you have goals over and above simply surviving each year? Anything at all, any comment to make, ANYTHING???!??!?!?!?!"

MA/NUFC: ".........................<cough>.........................."

Media: "Fck it. Let's print Pardew's one game from the boot....."

MA/NUFC: "HOW DARE YOU PRINT SUCH SLANDER, THIS IS UNFOUNDED AND UNCHECKED RUBBISH, YOU ARE BANNED, BANNED, BANNED FROM THIS FOOTBALL CLUB. DIE, DIE, DIE YOU HORRIBLE BASTADS".

 

The way that he puts bans in place for everything which he doesn't like, he could do worse than being a Mod on this forum...he would fit in nicely eh!

 

You haven't been banned yet.

 

Quick question, if anyone actually reads posts anymore - what if the fans approached the club with a sense of complete gay abandon and revered Ashley for his sage and sound guidance to the giddy heights of 8th in the Prem??

I just wonder if we would all get further with a 'hug a hoodie' mentality? Just seems that the concentrated apathy and hatred gets us nowhere but deeper into our self-pity.

 

I'm not quite sure if I liked the yet bit at the end..

 

Think you posted this on the wrong board fella.
Comm will keep you right I'm sure.

 

It will take a lot to get banned from here fella.. As long as you don't slag gingers off

 

Right so will the ban be revoked if/when Villa win on Sunday and Pardew's contract is "mutually terminated with immediate effect" as speculated?

It's only the kind of red-faced idiocy we've come to expect, hell almost perversely wish for in terms of entertainment value.

Perhaps Monday morning they can give them JFK's first interview as 'interim' replacement as a kind of backhanded apology?

"Good morning. Let me start by saying you're all a bunch of..."

 

Wotsits?
