Call me cynical but I think Ronay does articles like this now and again as cover for his other hatchet job articles, so he can claim some form of balance. The day after this he reverted back to type and wrote an article that included making stuff up about Tuesday night just to suit his narrative.
He has done a puff piece followed by sticking the boot in on more substantive issues too often for it to be coincidence imo.
In many ways I dislike him more than miggy, after all migs is completely transparent in his agenda and he's not really bright enough to cover his tracks.
Ronay is capable of writing coherent articles but despite this and apparently being the chief sports writer he deems it acceptable to make stuff up and twist things, presumably to fit an editorial narrative driven by click hunting. That's not really journalism is it.
