Spartan 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Reading today''s EDP its obvious that Chris Lakey, Adam Aiken and the rest of the pro Delia & Gunny brigade have opted for the soft and safer option of ever so gently rebuking the board for our current sad demise but at the same time trotting out the same old rubbish about giving them a chance and hoping everything will be hunk - dory in the end. Even when they do pencil a luke warm criticism of the board there is always a comment in brackets to appease the subject of the article, or to put a positive slant on things. Please please put Richard Balls in charge of both the EDP & Evening news football columns; at least he has the bottle to say what the majority of fans are thinking, and doesn''t mind ruffling a few of Delia''s feathers. Personally hearing Gunn run on about not letting players go on the cheap and players currently being checked over with a view to signing smacks of the spin we all suffered under Grant and Roeder, its all very very familiar, and as exciting as watching paint dry. Do us all a favour, until you have something concrete to report forget all the speculation that we normally have to suffer post and pre season, and concentrate instead on what has gone wrong with the club, and how we the fans would like it put right.

Carlos Valderrama 0 Posted May 16, 2009 I agree. It would be nice to get some out of the box journalism for a change. Perhaps the risk of upsetting the powers that be is too much of a gamble for a regional paper. Surely someone can get the ''inside scoop''. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

komakino 272 Posted May 16, 2009 I do hope we are not going to have another period where Archant are totally biased towards NCFC. Waghorn''s last year at the EEN was laughable IMO because he had clearly been ''got at'' by Delia and couldn''t write constructively, which is a shame because he was good up to that point.If the club don''t like what is written about them, then too bad. The have to take criticism on the chin, but it is important that Archant on always saying how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
