Barret resigns from his role with the Times

[the count]

Tony Barrett has resigned from The Times due to their (lack of) front page coverage of the Hillsborough inquests apparently

There's not really room for anyone at The Times, in the footie section, other than Henry Winter, whose ego is now so large it could even be seen from space by that irritating Tim bloke.

 

[Oliver Twist]

You have such nice things to say about people, macca.

 

[cloggypop]

I'm still hoping for manwithnoname to go postal at work and use his anger and bile caving Kelvin MacKenzie's head in with a paperweight.

That would have to be better stress relief than logging on here and calling Arn a mong.

 

[gkmacca]

You have such nice things to say about people, macca.

Yes, I do, but not about you, dear.

 

[Hansern]

Whoscored have teamed up with the S*n. Awful.

 

[Squiggles]

Been a while though hadn't it. I suppose he had been waiting to have something else lined up rather than storming off. Still, fair play. It was a shocking PR move from the Times

 

[mark1975]

Fair play to him. I think he's had a few agendas while writing about Liverpool in the past and he fabricates the truth to see fit, but he's done the right thing morally and has put the club before his career. Anyone who does that deserves huge respect.

 

[leftpeg]

Yes, I do, but not about you, dear.

Ooof!

On a quasi-related note, what about this joyful headline from that rag yesterday?

How on Earth could you work for a publication that comes out with stuff like that?

Horrendous.

 

[mark1975]

Fucking scum and they've made zero effort to change.

Why change a winning formula of utter scuminess?

 

[acejmk]

No matter how much you polish a turd its still a turd and that expression sums up the fucking Sun newspaper utter wankers

 

[cloggypop]

Imagine being in the same building as Kelvin MacKenzie and not caving his head in with a paperweight.

The really sad thing is that it's an indictment of the mentality (or lack of) in society today. That people still lap it up and buy this shit.

Bring on Planet of the Apes.

True.

The same people across the pond who are happily voting for Donald Trump I guess.

 

[Ryan]

And now David Thompson has quit his role with Talksport because of their links with The Lying Rag.

 

[gkmacca]

About time Danny Murphy did the same. He's already got a regular gig at the BBC, so it's not as if he's desperate for the job.

Murphy needs all the money he can get

Murphy needs all the money he can get

Really???

 

[manwithnoname]

Really???

I might be mistaken, but I think there were some stories about bad investments and/ or taxman issues a while back.

Ah, thanks to you both.

That is astoundingly horrible.
