So you get paid for uncovering breaking news about The Albion that we already know, whereas we get paid nothing. Its nothing personal but you are by admission a Stoke fan. What we want is the modern day equivalent of John Vinnicombe, a man who wore his heart on his sleeve when it came to anything Albion. Its not personal by any means but I never sense any passion about our club in your reports.
Please remove your head from up your arse.
Stop and look at the times we live in. You can get sued for the smallest misrepresentation in any modern business. The big difference between a poster on here letting slip some inside information, and a person whose job it is, could not be more different, how many times has a poster been contacted by the "person in the rumour" to cease and desist with their claims.
All media businesses have to tred a very fine line about what they can and can not say. I can guarantee you that all media know a lot more about what is going on, than what they can print, speak or post.
It is called "on the record" or "off the record" FFS what is so hard to understand. Naylor can not by law, reveal everything he knows without putting himself in legal danger, where as anyone with a hint of inside information on here can let it all out without any consequences.
Take a step back, look at some major news items that have occurred in the last 20 years, think about what we know and what we do not know, how quickly things get dropped out of the news spotlight, as a media outlet you have to build relationships with each and every business to be able to get the news you need, if Naylor revealed anything that would but the papers relationship in trouble with the club. No relationship = no news.
f***, being a reporter is like having to deal with a touchy girlfriend for 24 hours a day, knowing that what ever you say could land you in trouble.
Internet forums V profesional media outlets = Not comparable.
