Moosehead is just Kostiuk with a journalism degree. Beyond tedious.

And the skin of a dumped 15 year of girl apparently.

Don't get the hate for Sam M. He was the last in a dying breed of local investigative journalists who dug up a lot of dirt at a time when the club was in mortal danger at the hands of a succession of complete shysters. Of course those in charge won't welcome that sort of press attention, and Power might be a step up from some of the previous low-lifes, but the way he handled  Morshead's enquiries hardly inspired confidence, and we should remain wary of him.

Do you really prefer the complete absence of investigative reporting that the demise of local journalism has brought on?

What I find interesting is that Shaun Hodgetts, who is not an investigative journalist, is bemoaned by many as supposedly being a Power shill for not exposing Power's alleged dodgy dealings, but the same people don't seem to ask why Morshead - whom is a good investigative journalist and has a grudge to bear - has not done the same.

Completely agree.
Seconded, hes also a really nice bloke who asks questions the BBC only skirt around, and trust me, he has every reason to dislike Power but rarely actually says anything in public, unlike Kostiuk.

Maybe there's not much to dig up or at least what there is has already been dug up? Still agree with RF though, would rather have journalists who are a bit "awkward" to the powers that be (whether they be football, financial or political) as we rely on them to hold authority figures to account.

I'm somewhere in the middle. He comes across as a nice bloke and he's a decent journalist, then the odd little snipes like at the end of that tweet make him look unprofessional and like a jilted ex-lover.

I agree.

But why is one criticized when it's not even his area but the other, who is adept at such a job, is not?

Of course it's a rhetorical question... the answer is that Morshead's negative soundbites appeal to those that like to make such accusations against Hodgetts. Hodgetts is the enemy because not everything he says is negative.

Yeah, that's probably fair comment. Nobody's perfect.

If he has got something to say, just fucking say it then rather than going all Coleen Rooney.

I still don't think it constitutes a real bid to be honest. If someone comes up to you and says I'll pay you £7 million for the club but only pay you when players are sold that the club doesn't even own you'd just laugh at them. Any one of us could effectively make the same sort of bid as a joke.

I too don't think there was a "serious" bid TBH.

That's understandable.....but then don't make little snidey comments suggesting you're in the know about something only to say "oh, I can't say" and leave everybody hanging (that's not aimed at you by the way...). One of the others that posted on Twitter in reply to Morshead is a champion of that sort of thing.
