Bascombe heads to Telegraph.

[dirty_sanchez]

Presumably because Rafa didn't want us to.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Are we allowed to like any journalists?

 

We can like whomever we like. I don't like Bascombe for various reasons. The main two being that he worked for what I consider to be the Sunday edition of the Sun, and that I don't think he's a very good writer. That's just my personal opinion.

[Gav]

So no one has a clue why he wanted the last owners to be cut some slack?

 

Maybe the fact that he wrote the piece,after weeks of shite from the yanks,on the day after they secured a huge shirt deal which at face value indicated a small change in direction and as is usual with CB threads,it got exploded out of proportion

 

"On the day the club celebrated their admirable recession-busting shirt deal, however, you couldn't help wonder if it's time the Kop bosses deserve to be cut just the smallest length of slack."

They didn't secure anything, Ayre did.

Yes ,nearly 3 years later I do know that,on the morning it was announced I didn't .Did you ??

[Liverpool lad]

But lets not forget that during the power struggle Rafa asked for Mr Hicks to be cut some slack, via some of his mates in the press. Brian Reade said

[zigackly]

Is it time to mention Alonso yet?

What's going on with your punctuation in that sentence? Anyway, I can't remember, but quite probably; I think it was even in the press release. However, fans are completely different to journalists. It's a journalist's job to, you know, research stuff. Any decent journalist would surely know that the owners, whom he admits are 'absent' in the same article, are not the ones who broker sponsorship or shirt deals.

Who gives a fuck about punctufuckingation...christ,the stick up your arse must really have a stick up its arse.

 

Don't you think in the scoop culture of the red tops that its just a tiny bit possible that journos sometimes go to press on tip offs? I mean even Tony B's article in and around the same day neglected to mention that this was all Ayers solo work on his own ,unaccompanied,alone with nobody around. Anway,pointless even bothering to try to discuss this rationally as its clear where Bascombe is concerned that the enraged and entrenched would rather eat glass than engage objectivly

 

As the crazy dude said to wiggum "screw you ,I've had it up to here with your (punctuation) rules " , Im off back to the sanity and sanctuary of the GF to look at Emma Watsons minge again

[RedinSweden]

Nice one. Well in Chris. Be nice to see him playing for a proper team.

Don't be silly, Cuthbert Lilly, sticks don't have arses.

In what way haven't I been objective? He clearly got it wrong in calling for more slack for the pair of shit heads. That's not about me lacking objectivity, that's about him calling it wrong at the time. It as quite clear that Ayres was the architect of those deals because it was, you know, his job. Is it wrong to expect a modicum of research from Journalists?

Your punctuation is fine, it's just that you put a space before it and not after it. Which is, you know, a bit strange. I don't care, just looked like you were typing with your elbows.

[Dicko]

It was common knowledge Ayre was brokering the deal even before it was announced.

Bascombe's hatred of Benitez had at this point utterly consumed him.

Often the simplest answer usually the right one.

The same Rafa who was employed by Mr Hicks? And was waiting for a new contract? Where as every good red was trying to get him out and Bascombe gave us a virtual step backwards by asking to cut him slack in the biggest Sunday paper in the land when he should have been exposing him.

[Liverpool lad]

I'm just shit stirring
