Alexander Isak - International C*nt

Spoken to a lot of people over the last few days, some of which are extremely close to the goings on.

 

Main takeaways:

 

- Ignore the media and daily stories. It’s all agent / Liverpool talk. Very few things, if anything, are coming from Newcastle’s end.

 

- The stories about him wanting out / telling the club he wanted out before the season finished are bullshit. It was reiterated to me (I think I’ve mentioned this on here before) that Isak played a big part and was one of the main voices encouraging Elanga to join in late June. See his “heart” comments on Elanga’s Instagram at the time.

 

- The players want him gone. His behaviour has been far too disruptive, and he has burned a lot of bridges. He has lost a lot of respect within the squad, despite them opening the door to him a number of times, pre and post Korea.

 

If this is bullshit, at what point do a club like us try suing the shit out of the likes of Ormstein and The Athletic? They must be confident it's true.

The club should lock Isak and BDB in the changing room and livestream it. 
 

Imagine the money they’d make before the stream goes down and they have to reimburse everyone.

Clearly all lies - Ornstein used to be a trusted Journo but now spinning a narrative that looks like he is being told to say

In fairness Ornstein can only report what he’s told. Asking to leave two weeks before the season ends might be true it might just not have came out until now

Aren't journalists supposed to fact check and stand things up?

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Would anyone take Chiesa and say 130m? Still think there’s a player there and can play all across the front three

When? Then or now? Then he literally says we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes but he looks happy and now? Who knows he might have

Yeah they are, but those parasites aren't journalists.

Journalists reporting on actual news stories are supposed to, but "sports journalism" is seemingly a Wild West with no actual integrity or fact checking required. Although to be fair as Adam Clery suggested earlier today I’m not sure Ornstein fits that moniker any longer, he’s gone the way of Romano into "businessman" or more accurately "mouthpiece for hire"

Now. If he didn't know about it at the time, and evidently not journalist did, where is this information coming from? Lets be honest it's come from the agent, and I doubt we've gone and said, yeah that's true.

Oh yeah, I’m not saying it’s true I’m just saying I don’t think we can take Ornstein not mentioning it at the end of season as proof that it’s not true as he may not have been told either way

It depends. There was never any real attempt to fact check by the big rags of the day or the big networks of modern times  around the explosion of the Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin, or the Yellow Cake story leading up to the Iraq war. Even though there is some lip service to vetting (and sometimes it holds up to a degree if it has little to do with governments' international interests), the fourth estate has usually been compliant to the empire it serves unless the winds change so drastically like in, say, 1968. This is the harshest lesson I've learned over the past 15 years.

 

But yeah, sports journalism apparently rarely even bothers with the lip service of vetting. An Italian F1 journalist buddy is adamant about that.

I'd ignore him entirely.

 

I hope worflags do.

 

Just give me another massive surfer with that arrogant cunt of a magpie smirking.

[simonsays]

I'd sub him on and off again in the final minute of each game to give the fans a chance to boo him twice.  Plus have him constantly warming up for the full 90 minutes.
