Haven’t seen this mentioned, but surely part of the role of being a ‘voice of the supporters’ is to maintain an independent stance from the club - which allows you to criticise when you think the owners etc are out of order.
Getting paid to shill for them spits in the face of the fanzine ethic, and means everything that they utter is tainted.
But that’s an old-fashioned view tbh - this lot are just a collection of self-aggrandising weird cunts.
