But what will you all bitch about now?

Lego is expensive these days and the profits from local journalism are being squeezed

I don't mind Gilbert. Gets a lot of stick that's undeserved really. His book was a great read.


Good luck to him.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

But what will you all bitch about now?

Sunderland, SISU, lack of ambition, not a penny more people strangling the club, the weather, singers corner.

We're British and City fans, we are experts at moaning.

Other shit journalists.

This was the sticking point in the new contract agreement at the Ricoh with Boddy playing hardball over it, forcing Wasps to prove just how far their reach into the CT goes.

 

[ccfcway]

knew something was going on behind the scenes. been a lot of posts last few days from some posters and it was obvious something was happening.....

joining a barber shop quartet

5 reasons why Gilbert has left the CT

1. He was not great
2. He wasn't very good
3. He had a penchant for top 5's
4. He may be going to work at a rag that gives him resource to do some real journalism
5. His book was so successful he's retiring.

I bet dongo that Gilbert would stay at the Telegraph all season, he ducked out of the bet though as you can see clearly with this quote

Shit stoke considering Hughes future

 

[hill83]

Don’t really give a shit to be honest, but good luck to him of course.

It does make you wonder whether the CT will have any staff soon.

This is a trend repeated elsewhere; my local rag, the Lincolnshire Echo, used to have dozens of staff. Now it has 3; the rest of the work gets done by people paid on a hourly basis or by people on part-time contracts contributing photography, copywriting, design etc.

There's just no money in local news to pay actual journalists to do actual reporting, which is a shame as there's a lot going on. Take Coventry....I'm not one of the CT-bashers but in particular in summer 2016 their football output was pathetic, every day it was headlines like "Mark Venus happy to bide time in transfer market", "Mowbray lines up his target list" etc. No actual news, although there must have been some. Same with the Ricoh/Wasps rent deal....we know things are going on behind the scenes, but the CT haven't done their job in ferretting out what's going on. No wonder fewer and fewer people read their stories.

Who you going to harass now?

To be fair, Andy Turner never seemed to get any shit, well none of the CT journos did. Not sure if it’s because all the Sisu bollocks wasn’t about or because the CT was an actual paper and not My First Buzzfeed. Probably a bit of both.

Was obvious ;-)

think his warning about posting CET content on here when he clearly did the reverse was a tad hypocritical as well.
I wish him all the best however.

He’s going to work for radio Norwich? No wait, he’s got another child on the way and he’s going to call her Denise? Hold on. Are you secretly Simon Gilbert’s love child?

Presumably we need to log in to SBT at 5:00 AM on Monday when you will release the exciting news to an expectant world?
