I'm more of an aggressive wanking kind of man, myself.

Fixed that for you mate. Bloody spellcheckers eh?

Not to mention the source of the venture capital.

I am sure the likes of Ronay will turn them down on principle...

It says he has turned them down.

 

[old get]

Time for Neil Custis and Jamie Jackson to stand up and be counted

Oh they want journalists not Hacks. Sorry

It says he has turned them down.

Yes, I was making a joke about the likes of Ronay.

And it is possible Ronay is also holding out for an improved offer, as right before that the article says “another source said the website had been trying, but not yet been successful, in hiring Guardian sportswriter Barney Ronay” and “however, (the Athletic) are not taking 'no' for an answer”.

Ronay saying he is staying at the Guardian may just be a negotiation ploy, anyway.

Evening, Kev.

Thank fuck Sam Lee has gone.

I’m obliged.

 

[Vienna_70]

I take it neither Custis will be targeted?

 

[yankblue]

The Athletic is phenomenal, for what it's worth.

I have no idea why when people can watch every game they need to read what went on after, or have some idiot in a studio tell them what happened?

I suppose television is yet to reach the USA.
