Rumour has it that "independent" "investigative" (joke) "journalist" Les Reid has had the push. Is it true?

Who will bring the news of the legofields stadium to the public on Friday? Or will the fag packet plans go back into Fisher and Labovitch's pocket?

'Bye bye Les.'

That saying brings back such bitter memories of the time I caught my wife in bed with my Auntie Maureen and I made her pack her bags.

Not at all. She was looser than bolts on the roof of the Walkers Stadium. I kept her as my sex toy and bogged the wife off.

He did all that reporting for nothing?

Seriously though, even if he was a freelancer they can still say we no longer require your services.

Just hope for him that his SISUE pay is more than his CET pay.

I revel in the firing and general misfortune of any person who doesn't say the exact words I want to hear.

Would be his fault if true though. Certainly wasn't working as an independent journalist. He had an adjenda. And his twitter rants showed this.

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.

Just because you disagree with someone it doesn't make everything he says a rant. Agenda.

Yep, maybe we can pray for him to get the boot before Christmas. We should only have people in the local media who write/say "SISU OUT!"

The spectrum of approval here tends revolves around a person's current status relative to Sisu. Mark Robins left us in the lurch about two minutes after professing his attachment to the club but gets off lightly as he probably did it in revolt to the owners and not the fat sack of cash he was offered. Ray Ranson was public enemy number one but then he told us that he could have signed Messi and Michael Jordan for a bag of Skittles were he not banned by the owners and suddenly he's alright. ALL managers have been derided as 'yes men' or puppets at some stage, even seeing people call for Pressley's head last season before he'd even hung his coat up.

If Tim Fisher is ever replaced, it wouldn't take much for people to reconsider their stance on Timmy Fishface and herald him as 'not as bad as the new guy'

I have to admit i was unsure of the meaning of dilettante so i had to look it up but it certainly makes sense having read the article...

dilettante
ˌdɪlɪˈtanteɪ,-ti/
noun

Ajsccfc, you put it more eloquently than I could have.

It just takes the biscuit that so many people delight in the potential removal of someone because he didn't write exactly what they wanted him to.
Some people on here need to get a reality check.

I'm sure Les would agree with you-he couldn't have written that better himself.

But it's almost impossible to be completely neutral in tone as otherwise everything would read like a Wikipedia article.

If any editorials were calls for the owners heads that'd also have an agenda, just a more favourable one. If Les Reid's talking nonsense or claiming responsibility for saving the world as he was veering close to that's one thing and he certainly deserves criticism, but if it's some kind of offence that deserves sacking to lean towards a side on an argument every journalist would be out of a job.

If he has gone then it will more likley be for the way he's been responding to people on twitter. Didn't the last editor of the Telegraph get the push for having a go a people on twitter?

Can't see it being for anything he's published as an editor must have to approve that first unless what he's submitting currently is not suitable for publication.

This Palmer's got one on him!! The Council has turned the football club out onto the streets, why has no-one ever noticed this, WHY, WHY, WHY!! Maybe we could start a new phoenix 'street' club like Fifa Street football. Bring back Les the twisted political writer.

No. Because he didn't do his job as a journalist. He threw all caution to the wind and made some rather libellous as hominim attacks of people with no justification.

I take the pleasure (if true) because he's a narcasistic twat and I enjoy seeing those types taken down a peg or two.

There's an article from him dated yesterday, nothing today but then that doesn't really show you anything. He might just have a day off!
