BlueStar Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 McClaren accused Craig Hope, who covers the club for the Daily Mail, of having an agenda against the club. "Whatever that journalist writes, I'm afraid I don't read it," the under pressure Magpies' boss said. "That journalist," was in attendance and wasn't prepared to let McClaren make the claims about, saying: "Steve, don’t you dare accuse me of having an agenda. You're second bottom in the league. I'm not the problem." McClaren was gone within 10 days. Video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Love Craig Hope, takes no shit that lad. He deserves credit tbh, not many others willing to call Bruce out in public. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Craig Hope's the journo Bruce had the bust up with last year isn't he? Yeah. Said it before on here but I’ve played five a side with him on a Wednesday a fair few times he’s my cousin’s mate. He’s sound and a fan, good to have him on our side. Class player too Good to hear. Shame he writes for the Mail. But I enjoy how harsh and honest he is in comparison to most journos covering NUFC. The famous “you calling me a liar, Craig” bust up.

toon25 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This misnomer about playing ‘attacking football’ just gives fuel to sections of the media that flag wave for the fat cunt by setting up comparisons with Rafa. It’s got more to do with the utterly directionless, clueless, tactical ineptitude that’s marked every single game of Bruce’s time here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Met Craig Hope several times when TF had those press nights at the Irish Centre - cracking lad - ended up having a late one with him after one of those occasions! He's a cracking NUFC journo and has called out Bruce from virtually day one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafalove Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Craig might be my favourite journalist covering the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yep - he's certainly been the number one NUFC covering journo since Bruce's arrival. He called it from day one like most of the sensible elements of the fan base. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 He used to write for the main site on here and although I’ve never met him I’ve communicated with him many a time and he comes across as a great fella and my brother in law knows him personally from his time working at NUFC where I believe Hope worked too, and says he’s a top lad and an avid and passionate Toon fan. He’s easily a decent journo too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 His last game tonight. If the players do their usual thing. They have the key , this is on them now , personally he might get Everton then gone . Depends what you want lads win, he stays , lose and chance he will go after Everton . Draws in these next 2 will save him anarl.....all my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Kinda sad though isn't it that most of these journos/media types only really start criticizing cabbagehead when he doesn't give them interviews It's not about the job he's doing, he's just not giving them what they want so the knives come out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been critical from very early on. He rattled Bruce to the point he'd reference him and then called him out in that press conference. A few others have started to get stuck in a bit of late. Hence why they've been banned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
