More bollocks from the club. It's been a while

[Jimmy Quinn]

Clem must have been talking to Power

[Nemo]

So they can still go to the presser, they can still report everything said, just not until they leave the room?

Seems a bit weird but not exactly the end of the world.

Is there a particular thing that's spurred this? I can't remember anything being in a live blog that the club have disputed - and they're all recorded in full anyway.

It is definitely possible to lose context on a live blog.

But can't remember specific examples either though.

Bit of a shame but not the end of the world. Just seems stupid. But nothing to lose sleep over

[Nemo]

To be mildly fair, there's usually about 15 minutes context to any of Holloway's quotes!

The club cant help themselves with petty silliness can they.

[Matchworn Shirts]

I'd be thankful not have to go through all his hot air and comedy act

Could be worse....

This is the guy who they have replaced our new Football Secretary (or whatever her formal title is) with https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/25277094.cumbria-police-ex-pc-richie-wallbank-demonstrated-predatory-behaviour/

The next step is the Adver will have to get the club to sign off what they report

Which no journalist with an ounce of integrity or self respect would do. Are the presser blogs behind the paywall as most STFC related Adver stuff tends to be anyway as if so not sure how many actually see it anyway.

That's a very different  to cross

This is the start of a very slippery slope. Also proves the club / ownership are paranoid as hell.

I worked under Clem. He had no understanding of how the media works, and probably still doesn’t. No leadership, no direction. This won’t be Callum’s fault, either. Let me be clear, This all comes from the top. Dating back to when I was at the club, staff members with experience, knowledge and passion were never listened to, instead treated as pests and as threats.  This was always going to happen, sadly. Clem is out of his depth. Period. Feel for Joe-Adver
