Helps if the headline matches the story. Invariably, in the CT it doesn't.

If the headline told the whole story, there wouldn't be the need for a story would there?
Headlines always have, and always will be, a tool to attract the attention of readers.
Thanks for reading.
But surely the headline should match the story? I don't think it should tell the whole story, but at least make sense when you read the headline then the actual story.

Also this "taxpayer cost" line. Why do you assume people will be angry at the club's owners for this?
Perhaps you should push that philosophy on some of the threads on here?
Is that a serious question? Read some of the threads on here and the comments on the Telegraph site...
Oh and I wasn't saying it was you personally sat there writing all of the headlines
Don't mistake people who comment on the Telegraph site, this forum or other online platforms for "most people".
Social media is not the real world. The internet gets angry easily - and not necessarily about the right things. And it can be pretty racist!
Of course I understand there will be mentalists, but suggesting that people won't be angry at SISU if it is ruled the council have to give them shed loads of money is either a bit naive or a bit naughty
Even people not online on places like this are just as taken in, often because they don't see other peoples comments and just take the article (not just the telegraph) as gospel it sometimes make their views reliant on one document.
ie. Bloke at the gym who was telling me it was all down to SISU, they just had to buy the Higgs half and then Wasps would sell them the rest
If anything, people who don't use this site and others are sometimes a bit more naive when it comes to what they take with a pinch of salt or not.
Then there are just the people who aren't bothered about politics and totally switch off and just go and watch their team.
I'm not suggesting people won't be angry with Sisu.
Different people will be angry with different parties to varying degrees. That's because there's no clear right or wrong party here.

Have the telegraph ever done a piece on the Council's role in all this fiasco?What a mess. The deal to sell the Ricoh to Wasps doesn't look anywhere near as good for the City if it ends up costing the council more than they got for it.
Just to be clear here, regardless of how I feel about what's gone on I don't want millions of pounds of Council money ending up in SISU's pockets either. Even if it benefitted the club directly (which I doubt), there are still far more important things for the Council to be spending money on.
If I was to ask one thing of the CET though, it's that this shouldn't just be told as a tale of SISU's wickedness - even though that plays well to the public. They need to scrutinise closely the actions of those at the Council who took us down this road too.
Always best to read past the headline.
The same as it is about the children's charity who are hard done by (until Wasps strolled in and then it didn't matter)

Perhaps better to write a headline that reflects what the story is, Simon.
I don't think we've ever singled out any one party. We've always looked at the whole picture. That's important for context.
Certainly that's he way I've approached it since I started reporting on the fiasco two years ago.

I suggest you talk to your lawyers Simon - I laughed so much at that post I've cracked 3 ribs and I'm off to A and E
Prepare for a long wait !!

Did I miss you hand delivering a news paper or driving a van about when Wasps moved here?
Would you say the Wasps deal was good for the tax payer of Coventry then judging how they paid 5-6 million and it is now worth silly money with millions of pounds being thrown at them here there and every where with food renewals and stadium rights renewals? Surely that's worth saying hold on a minute, how has that happened?
Can the media make a difference with what the general public think?
Its clearly taken the side of the labour council which when you see that its owned by the mirror group is no real surprise really.

Bias due to link with the Mirror probably is nonsense. Your blatant bias against the football club isn't and your sometimes embarrassing endorsement of Wasps isn't either.With all due respect, that's utter unfounded nonsense.

Of course they can Nick. The media and an institution like the telegraph have a real duty to report stories based on facts and not based on political bias of their owners.
This is what disappoints me most about the paper's handling of the whole saga. Its clearly taken the side of the labour council which when you see that its owned by the mirror group is no real surprise really.
Would the Ricoh be profitable without Wasps? That's a chicken and egg situation. Also, will it be profitable at all? Only time will tell for sure.
