    nottingram got a reaction from ariotofmyown in GB news   
    Just had a quick look down their Twitter feed, I don’t really watch the news so this is the next best alternative for me.
    Using the topic of taking the knee, a decent case study as obviously something that is fairly divisive - and to their credit I can see they have perspectives from both sides on this, which is a good start and not something I expected.
    My trouble is then that the interactions to the tweet show exactly where their “base customer” falls on the particular debate. The issue then is that everyone’s (both sides, but if I am being really honest I think there is only one correct side to this) views are so entrenched that this base customer is not going to see Harry Redknapp saying taking the knee is a good thing and agree with him, they’ll switch off, as is their right. That will likely then lead to GB News showing less and less of that side of the debate because it will hurt their pockets and then it simply becomes an echo chamber. If it is going to be truly balanced then they will need to entice balanced viewership, currently they don’t seem to have that. Whether it is intentional or not, who knows, but so far their marketing seems to have largely attracted a certain viewer / consumer. 
    Boycotting companies that advertise on GB News is not going to be helpful in getting it to be balanced reporting (or for it continuing to be balanced reporting) but I think it is a little disingenuous to claim this only comes from one side. After all, @maxjam appeared to imply a boycott of Gillette by the “other side” in a previous post, and indeed I have seen a certain MP telling everyone they will boycott the Euros over the taking of the knee, as well as the ongoing issues with the booing of it as well. Not quite cancel culture but certainly not just ignoring it either.

    Has Waghorn’s kid not recently signed for the academy? 
    No idea how easy it is to get players in and out of academies but would assume that is an indication he is staying relatively local
    Hope he stays, personally. We’d only have to replace him if he doesn’t

    It is much easier to talk about running a football club than it is to do it, as he found out when he took Crystal Palace into administration

    Not sure this Brentford side is anywhere near as good as the last few seasons, although it may not need to be just yet. 
    But shows at some point a model of buying and selling will catch up to you. As well run as they are it is not possible to keep replacing £25m players with £5m players.

    nottingram got a reaction from DCFC1388 in Summer 2021 Transfer Window - Suggestion Thread   
    Possibly just shows how clubs will need to cut their cloths. When you consider Bristol have fetched £20m odd just for one player in the last few years it shows how difficult it will be for clubs like us who sell their best players for a bag of nuts. 
    Notably lots of experience on that list which typically would mean they’re the big earners.
    Diedhou would be an ideal one for us if we could afford it but yes, shame he looks to be going to Boro. Walsh always struck me as a good player and is the right age but DM/CM probably the only area we don’t need incomings.

    nottingram got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in El DerbyCo   
    My suspicion is that in a year or so, Wolves fans will be fed up that they have reached their glass ceiling and moaning that their owners can’t or won’t take them further. If you asked me to name the most boring team in the Premier League they would be up there.
    Leicester have smashed through their glass ceiling and fair play to them for that. They are a model club though, there’s probably 85 teams in the EFL and Premier League who wish they were run so well. And they relied on breaking the rules to get out this league.
