They said he guessed but I don't think he did.
Good. Not missed.What’s happened to Dunc Castles? we don’t tend to see much of his tosh nowadays.
“The toy shop” as the sports desk used to be commonly known in the industryI think it is safe to say that quite a lot of people on Bluemoon have better sources of information at City than any of the current crop of sports reporters in the broadcast and print media. Most of them just turn up at the press conference and then spin a few of the quotes from Pep to a pre-ordained angle. The sports hacks operate as a pack and often swap notes with each other before they publish. That way brings a safety in numbers. One well-worn trick is for one hack to phone another and quote another reporter as an unnamed source.
They are a disgrace really. Their lack of knowledge on football finance makes them look like fools. The Telegraph produced a couple of articles recently that were absurd. They are regarded with contempt by serious and courageous journalists who still try to tell the truth about places like Ukraine.
Word on the street is, they’re doing Bod ‘The Movie’, so he’s a bit busy atm.What’s happened to Dunc Castles? we don’t tend to see much of his tosh nowadays.
Working for The New European?Anybody heard of the football journalist Rob Hughes ?
Here's an extract from an article on European football in last week's edition of the New European:
'City ,of course, are a different kettle of fish. The Qatari state -owned club was purposely redesigned for Guardiola's arrival in July 2016'
Anyone spot the error?
Calling him a football journalist?Anybody heard of the football journalist Rob Hughes ?

Nah, you're alright thanks
He changes horses in mid stream twice. Starts off as the board telling the execs, switches to the execs telling the board in the middle, then swops back again. I suggest that his version of the inner workings of City is muddled because he doesnt really know. A bit of homework and who’s who and in charge of what is public knowledge.Yep. Fair's fair, the article doesn't have the issues I brought up on the tweet. It's an interesting read and I don't have many reasons to doubt the story as told (other than the Board having to ask what a 190 million investment was for, but I suppose that can be put down to artistic licence). Some things I hadn't heard before which I am willing to take at face value.
Rob hughes wrote on football for over thirty years. Mainly in the Sunday Times. Freelance and semi retired now, I think.Anybody heard of the football journalist Rob Hughes ?

And a few chants of its just like watching Brazil and we meant itI can remember watching us be taken apart by arsenal, finding myself standing up and applauding Henry and Pires. And we weren't bad, they were just other worldly.
Glad to see that kind of recognition is still alive on modern football despite the media beating the tribal drum daily.
nice one Paul
