The coverage makes very little difference, do prospective new owners really look at the Daily Heil for inspiration?

I've never bought the Daily Mail in my life, but I find the anti DM agenda nauseating and lazy. The ironic thing is (and I can see the reverse irony in this sentence) is that it's often from those quick to point out that people shouldn't be generalised by their demographic of race, sexual orientation, gender etc and yet are happy to brand DM readers as public enemy number one, in some kind of superiority dick waving contest that they are somehow better than them. Very odd behaviour.

Go onto the Daily Mail readers comments section online and you'll probably change your view

I suspect this will intensify nationally as our crisis deepens I'm not sure if the lack of a home ground in one years time has struck home yet.
That just fogs the water.
We are not homeless in a year yet, we just don't have a deal yet.
Wasps and CCFC have yet to say we are out.

Spot on! Its just the fashionable thing to do, to show how cool and PC you are. Like it or not (and I don't) the DM represents the views of a sizeable chunk of the population.

Aren't we ? In a few months time not next May we have to tell the FL where our home games are to be played if we can't do that the process of losing this Golden Share will happen and other clubs in the FL will make sure it does, you bury your head in the sand my dear but don't come crying on here should it happen.

It does seem to come from people "who never read it" as well, so, an informed judgement by them then ;)

I guess we should all read the sun or mirror to get the truth about anything and everything....

Don't worry, it's the FL and they will be lenient. Particularly as the CCFC chairman has told them we are moving to the Butts.

You're quite wrong about me, now who is generalising.

The Daily Mail supported Oswald Mosley's blackshirts in the 1930s, that is why I call it the Daily Heil.

It's a rag, and as someone else mentioned unfortunately that sizeable chunk of the population are fairly susceptible to being influenced by this comic. They create hatred and then profit off it, regardless of the impact.

Well it might get us a bit a partizan support in the cup final - oh of course apart from Sunderland fans

As did the Mirror so perhaps we could dub that the Daily Fuhrer

What is wrong with our fans, I want every newspaper in the land to highlight our plight, every billboard to say SISU SELL NOW, we are sinking into oblivion and people get upset that a national newspaper highlights our plight. I just don't get it!
I know it's almost like some are actually content with our situation and therefore try too shun
And discredit any outside interest.

I know i have said recently that SISU are going nowhere but i am starting to wonder if this added pressure thats building might be enough to persuade them to reconsider. Let SISU keep Ryton in exchange for letting the club go for nothing. It would almost certainly mean rebuilding in non-league for a few years and a ground share in the short term but its gotta be better than this.

Totally different era, Moseley was supported and financed by most of the political elite of the day, army top brass and the Royals.

The DM has some of the best sports coverage of all the daily papers - especially for football
I never bother with the political content of any paper and prefer to make up my own mind

It does and I don't like it. Not because it is cool not to like it, but because some of it stories are disgusting and some of it's reader comments are very different from my opinions. I only look at it occasionally to see how they can slant certain stories.

Moseley was intelligent and I think he had been a cabinet minister. He is was well known and respected by some people.

That got him support. Those who backed him, backed the wrong horse.

Or listen to the press secretary of the most important person in what was previously known as the western world .

It was owned by Rothermere back then wasn't it? Whilst the Mirror has moved on to new owners the Mail is still owned by the Rothermere family.
Viscount Rothermere is a title, the family name is Harmsworth, but yeah they still own it.
