Chris Bascombe
It'd be ridiculously premature to start celebrating the ousting of The Twats just yet, but it's not too early to give some massive respect to Chris B. I was just thinking this afternoon that his story started all of this. He has taken some major shit over the last six months or so, but without him - and crucially, without him having left The Echo where he'd never have been allowed to run his story - we'd be none the wiser to their scheming ways and they might not have been manoeuvred into the position they appear to be in right now where a sale seems like their best and only option.

Regardless of what happens in the next week or so, well in Chris; you're a true Red who's done the club and us, your fellow Reds, proud.

Re: Chris Bascombe
Chris told they want Rafa but Rafa could be saved if DIC come back in. The man is a genius.

Re: Chris Bascombe
Yep, CB and Rafa have smoked the bastards out and let us all know exactly which way the wind was blowing. If we get rid of Waldorf and Statler, I would be happy to give CB ass to mouth for the rest of his life.

Re: Chris Bascombe
Couldn't agree more. Both Basco and Dave U have taken some shit over the past few weeks. Turns out they were right all along. Will the apologies be forthcoming? Lets just say they shouldn't hold their breath.

Im with you on that and hopefully if everything turns out for the best then those who werent that kind to him would have the good grace to appologise but lets get everything back on track first

Re: Chris Bascombe
Bascombe won't get any credit from a lot of people because he writes for the NotW. I think Barrett deserves some credit too, I think the Klinnsman stuff set all this off.

Barrett helped, but make no mistake, this was all started by Bascombe.

Re: Chris Bascombe
Think its only natural that there was a large amount of scepticism given who he writes for. Had he moved to the Observer or something, most would have given it more credibility.

Yep fair play to Basco and he's a nice guy too.

Agreed, Bascombe got it 'out there' and Barrett struck what will hopefully be a 'killer blow'

Two top reds, two top journos, it's at times like this you need allies and this is exactly what we've got. Well in.
