I have no issue with the question being asked or with the timing of it if in the last few days evidence has been uncovered that suggests an explanation is required (how many times in the past have we hammered a journo for not asking the difficult question to Ferguson / Mourinho etc?).
However, I'm sure that we are all pretty certain that this is not the case and in this instance this particular hack is purely being disruptive and disrespectful of our club, ownership, fanbase, manager and achievements.
As some other posters have eluded to, I think we may be close to a tipping point of what the club and manager deem 'acceptable' from a lot of media outlets.
A lot of it is just unsubstantiated slander...........
