Independent: You're having a laugh!

Ed Balls should take lead from East Anglian rival''s style of chairmanship

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/ed-balls-should-take-lead-from-east-anglian-rivals-style-of-chairmanship-a6793556.html

Their last chairman sold the ship down the river to stop it sinking and the current one is trying to keep it afloat with driftwood.

And we should take a lead from them? Yeah, right. [:)]

I''ve just (tried) to read the article and am perplexed at what it''s actually trying to say. Appointing Balls as chairman is "fairly inspired" but he should be like the old traditional football chairmen? But then saying the likes of Leicester and Southampton (presumably "new" style) who ruthlessly got rid of managers are actually effective? Eh?

Guessing you read the headline and not the article, considering they''re on about Ipswich''s chairmanship from the 70s to early 90s.

It''s a naff piece anyway, merely written to have a cheap pop at Labour. The caption under the picture is amusing, though.

I tried to read the article and lost the will to live after 4 paragraphs.

The writing is typical of the kind of convoluted, affected rubbish that you sometimes get in the Independent and the Guardian. It seems that some journalists think it makes them look clever to write this tangled nonsense.

It is a quite dreadful piece of writing in every respect and the sub who left the author''s name off did them quite a favour.
