LazloW Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I imagine the club have issued a statement (I mean, how dare they) because the media has no doubt been inundating them with questions about their views on what has been said/supposed to have been said. Issuing a statement probably saves the press officer a bit of time. But clearly, club statements are something to get mildly wound up about, obviously.

Chester40 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I heard an interview with Tim Sherwood the other day. When he was asked about Villa avoiding relegation he made some pretty sweeping statements about foreign players not playing for the cause and having to rely on the British players to save them cos only they cared. Obviously its 'different' ...but no one batted an eye lid and the presenters seemed to concur with sentiments that I would suggest some of the foreign Villa players would think were out of order and not totally different in nature from the sentiments yesterday.

I would have thought a competent broadcaster would have at least addressed it rather than attempt to cover it up. Its, in my opinion, poor they haven't at least issued some sort of statement.

When they edited the podcast they should've just said "Edited to remove certain remarks which may have caused offense" - Factual, neutral and honest. Deal with the rest later (i.e. properly on Monday) and would've taken literally trivial effort to include. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok your and others opinion. Sure there are other with different opinions. Yes think Lowe and Bogle are both both justified I being offended by the comments. Already said Lowes response was good. Not sure why people like Michael Johnson feel the need to wade into the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967RAMS Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I wasn’t going to enter this debate but will. Firstly I think what Craig said was totally unacceptable. He must and will face sanction. I have no idea about his views on race but feel the preamble leading up to the black player quote, to me at least, suggests he thinks it’s a trait of black players in particular. Having said that, I make mistakes in life, as I’m sure most of us do. Please let him apologise ( hopefully he thinks he needs to) and face what punishment comes his way. But let’s not get carried away with our condemnation and calls for recriminations. Don’t hound him or especially his family mercilessly. It’s such a shame we no longer seem capable of accepting a persons failings and afford them the opportunity to improve and learn from their mistakes and ultimately grow Into better people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have assumed that a responsible Broadcaster like the BBC were not naive enough to rush out a statement safe in the knowledge that it would be heavily scrutinized and pulled apart. I would also have assumed that they have been in close contact with their legal team all day discussing the ramifications of any statement that they do make.

I am not sure a local radio station has a legal team on speed dial unless they have access to the BBC Corporate lawyers, and even then it wouldn't be a quick call on a Sunday.
