LEP shame...

S

Shaun

Just been on their website...
They have the Billy Davis story above the Sunderland result. What a complete bunch of prats these reporters are!!! It makes my blood boil.
The majority of us fans want to move forward - and also bask in the 'here and now' - not be subjected to second-rate journalism. I wouldn't even mind, but it isn't even their story, taken from a Scottish newspaper.
Boycot the rag! They, just like Billy Davis, are Preston's enemy...don't care a jot about the Sunderland result, just want to see Preston slagged off by some insane nutter.
Sorry, I'm not being very eloquent today - hungover and deeply pissed off😡
 
Re: LEP shame...

I can see your point but at the same time i think it will get more nobbers backs up than not so in that sense for them a good story although i would bet my house on them having taken the story from the post here 🙄
 
Re: LEP shame...

Being charitable, isn't it just that BD was yesterday's story and Sunderland was Saturday?

What is the back page headline? (For those of us unlucky enough to live outside the LEP catchment area.)
 
Re: LEP shame...

Well, for starters the Davies story is more recent than the Sunderland result, so that explains that. It would be a brave editor who keeps one result at the top of his news agenda for weeks at the expense of new stories.

Sorry Matto, posted this at the same time as you!
 
Re: LEP shame...

No problem - great minds etc!

Having read the piece, LEP would do far better to analyse what BD is saying against what they will know Derek Shaw said at the Fans' Forum last week. Appreciate this is on another thread but to say North End didn't do enough to keep him is preposterous nonsense. What was his employment contract all about?

This has all the hallmarks of him touting himself in the press when he wanted to leave us. It won't have escaped his attention that Alex McLiesh went from Hibs to Rangers a few years back.

Boycott it? I did that long ago - it's an awful newspaper. Therefore I couldn't care less what today's headline is.
 
Re: LEP shame...

Not sure of which Scottish paper you guys are talking aobut, but the Sunday Herald up here did a piece on Davies yesterday, basically a preview of the Derby game, also mentioning how other Scottish managers such as Levein fared with rebuilding jobs at 'bigger' clubs. It's fairly harsh on North End fans at derby last month, sorry I can't remember it exactly. I'll try to get it up on here tomorrow, or you could try the Sunday Herald website...
 
Re: LEP shame...

To be fair in the paper itself there is only a tiny little article re Billy Davies and it's a small heading on the back page, not even covering a tenth of the page...the main article in great letters on the back page is the fact that Roy Keane has tipped us for the top 😀 There's also a super 8 page pull out in the middle of the paper headed "Dan Dare" with brlliant photos in from the match and a full page of reviews from the PNE fans panel.

I should imagine because the Billy Davies article was so short that it was completed first and automatically put up on-line as soon as it was done.
