Don't be so harsh - that article is comedy gold!
Top comment.
There is so much wrong with that article, it's difficult to know where to begin.
Grammatically inept, factually and intellectually challenged. It reflects the look of the author who has just got off the school bus. Reminds me of a certain poster on here, from a while back, still wet behind the ears.
I love the way that you can only like it or retweet it, but not comment on it or dislike it.
Is the real problem the belly laugh?
Ridiculous comment. Reid's behaviour, with incessant retweeting of his clueless sycophants, was one of the most astonishing and embarrassing pieces of self-aggrandisement I've ever had the misfortune to witness; and was greeted by many in the way it's cringe-worthy manner deserved
You absolute thoughtless idiots.Les Reid was one of the few people to bring a sense of clarity and perspective to this situation. His level of insight and contacts as well as the ability to be at or around the major decision points gave us more information than ANY other source.
The halfwits that spent their life abusing him on twitter and couldnt even understand his level of independence have probably made him less than supportive of our "fans". The Trust also were interested in him when he agreed with them and so lost potentially a fantastic resource and also a level of influence on their messages.
I disagree MMM you may not of liked the way Les Reid retreived information or how it was published yet in all this mess Les Reid is the only one who consistently dug for the truth and kept the fans informed.
So......
Who's next in line to be the scapegoat?

To be fair what did he tell us that wasn't posted on here first?
All those exclusive started on here in one way or another?
Where has the rumour come from?

He was visited by some astonishing bouts of poor judgment in my view, that could have been interpreted as him having a leaning. Let me give you a clear example; and by means of background here, he's speaking in terms of The Trust receiving a letter with regards the Guardian article. Which we mostly think is 'heavy handed' at best, something much more sinister at worst. Anyway....
On December 10th, he tweets: @TheSkyBlueTrust's now published #CCFC letter. Seems to advise removing @guardian article link IF #CCFC takes action
Now, the above is clearly a misinterpretation of the letter. The advice to remove the link to The Guardian's article is not conditional on action, it's a per se 'take it down' advice letter from a very, very top law firm. Les' use of 'IF', and especially it's capitalisation does not reflect the flavour or ambition of the letter.
So, what happens thereafter?
The Sky Blue Trust says: 'Read it again Les'
Supporters Direct are also astonished by the misinterpretation and tweet: 'V selective interpretation of letter @Lesreidpolitics Plenty will be surprised by your view'
In another tweet to Les: 'Surely it advises taking it down irrespective of any legal action, not IF?'
Now, he doesn't revisit his interpretation - which does appear fundamentally flawed, and misleading. But....
... he then re-tweets: @Gaytski Cheers Sam. Out-of-towner from @SuppDirect is incredibly one-sided too & not always armed with the facts or sense of #CCFC history
So, what's the above? A refusal to revisit something that appears to mislead? To refuse to admit he was wrong? What?
So what you're saying then MMM is that Les Reid is not allowed an opinion despite the opposition against it? Maybe it was a genuine mistake or maybe his opinion is that the letter is what Les makes it. I have only exchanged a few Tweets with Les, but from reading his article's in which many have been very informative per the subject of CCFC, Les Reid has done really well, I think in fairness he could have pushed Joy perhaps a little harder during the interview, but in saying that Les was the first person to get an interview or even dialogue with Joy Seppala and that itself must be praised.
Teacher, Teacher!! It wasn't me I am going to tiddle, taddle on SBTony!!
No. I am saying he fundamentally misread or misreported a legal letter; and in so doing lessened it's impact. It was bought to his attention, and he failed to make redress.
Supporters groups have a right to hold owners to account, and to an extent, foster free (and respectful) opinion. When an organisation tries to cease some of that scrutiny, that's very, very serious. It was incumbent on Les to be 100% correct on this. Which in the mind of most fair minded people, he wasn't

I agree with that MMM regarding the Letter to the Trust but in my opinion the below comment was off mark.
I think as a reporter he deserves a lot of credit, yes his Twitter feed might not look like great reading compared to where you sit, but personally I would give him a good amount of praise for what he has reported.
Again Rob; I don't think he's ever grasped or reported on the bigger picture of the various end-games with the club.
SISU seemingly want the freehold of the venue. Rentals, revenues are an irrelevance. It's all about freehold.
So, the very future of our club - that's yours and mine - is in the balance so that SISU get the Ricoh and it's lands.
You think that's worth it? You think Les Reid has ever reported that?

What specifically Robbo ,I confess I hav'nt read any of his CCFC commentary.
