Fair enough, not my intention to have a go.
Getting back to the original point, do you really feel that it is the wrong battle when a journalist suggests he is privy to Sheikh Mansour's personal emails?
If I recall, the 'story' wasn't so much a personal email, but a supposed mission statement sent to all members of the organisation?
If it had been a personal email, I think Mirror group would find they have a new owner, rather than getting away with a cursory retraction!
It just makes us look petty on such a peripheral subject matter. The real liberties are being taken on a daily basis, across a variety of platforms.
Lots of stuff aren't actionable, as they are opinion-led. However, it becomes the established narrative in the wider public.
It needs to be more proactive than a terse phone call. Mancini was poorly briefed when the story leaked about Monaco.
I don't expect Bobby to know the score, but somebody needed a kick up the arse for allowing him to be so candid.
Some said it was to his credit, but he was left hung out to dry and they even allowed another week to pass and a further on-the-spot interrogation.
Better to be feared than loved, our club won't ever break the psyche through what goes on the pitch.
Neil Custis gets a bad rap at The Sun, but I heard him on Talk Sport on Sunday and he did a better job in five minutes talking our club up than our PR department ever did.
Tossers such as David McDonnell and Mark Ogden, time to start hurting the patch journos and making both them and their paper accountable as to why they are now on the outside.
