Any "professional journalist" who wrote that and seriously thought they had a valid reason for the headline and content must have been very confident in its validity to have it published in a national newspaper. So much so, that even as we speak, this "journalist" is surely writing a piece which retrospectively heaps the highest praise on Pep and his players for turning around such a hopeless situation.
Responding in this way to their own hatefuelled view of a group of players and their manager adjusting to find a solution to their lowly(for them) league position might at least rescue a semblance of humility for them.
No doubt, if we were still languishing in mid table this guy would be refferring back to his article in all his self entitled "told you so" glory.
Wouldnt you think that anyone writing publicly viewed material would have the integrity to stand by or apologise for their work, especially as they are probably being well paid for their efforts.
Sadly, I think the person responsible is lacking the moral and professional fibre required to humble themselves when proved wrong. After all, being a biased, hateful, line toeing red twat seems to be the only requirements for football journalism these days.
Instead of begging people to @buyacoffee they should try to produce content worth reading.
