Dr Jinx Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 There's a line in The Times today that Chris Mort was offered, and has declined, Charnley's job. He was working on behalf of Staveley the last time around but don’t think he’s involved this time. Can’t imagine he’d have talked to anyone, he’s quite professional as Ashley appointments go..

Dr Jinx Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 ? Asked to name his worst moment, Quinn said: "I would have have to say after the Newcastle result away. "To see their chairman come into the boardroom at St James' Park doing the conga, that was hard to take." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yeah I assumed the point was about respected journalists who've been writing about these issues for years rather than idiot TV presenters. Don't understand why you'd even let someone like Keys, a bloke who was too much of a moron for Sky Sports (!), wind you up, like who cares? How many people do you think read the Guardian or Independent to read the views of respected journalists? Most get their news from the Sun or the Daily Mail, so people like Richard Keys and Talksport tossers are the ones getting their point across, at least for the average punter. Where have you plucked that point from? The Guardian has a monthly readership of 55 million, The Independent 50 million. The Daily Mail's is only 5 million more, The Sun's 20 million more. (Source - https://www.newsworks.org.uk/) How far are people going to go to continue making these points? Can you not just admit that the issue has come into your own focus because it's something you pay attention to? Are those online figures? Because I am pretty sure that the Guardian and Independent would have a lot of international readers which would contribute to those figures, whereas the tabloids will generally get only the British readers, and those are the ones who matter in relation to this deal. No one in Korea will give a crap about Richard Keys for example, but people over here will. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them are combined online and publishing figures, but even then the idea that national press is somehow what matters over international press is backwards. No idea why you'd pursue this line of argument like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that the exact point me and others are trying to make? That it's not Newcastle's being singled out, it's just that your own awareness of this shit has increased because it's come into your world and that outside of that world there's already a very high level of awareness of MBS and what the Saudis are responsible for? Both worlds have collided and now Newcastle and its fans will be inextricably linked with him and the things he's done, whether we like it or not.

UncleBingo Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 The guys from the Independent and the Guardian are getting by far the most grief.

Totally agree, but you could see how some feel that being lectured by someone who takes a wage from a part Saudi owned newspaper, might come across as double standards.

It doesn't at all, it's just a lazy cheap point scoring exercise to avoid discussing the actual issue. Play the ball, not the man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
