Sticking up for us in the media

[Tubey]

The media is either dominated by Kopites, Mancs, or southerners. And sometimes both. But even though they are paid to write their articles. They really haven't got a clue about other clubs unless they finish in the top 4. The amount of articles I've read about Stones, like he was some defensive stalwart to our season. Even though he was dropped. Means that all they do is parrot each other. And like the saying goes "You repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth".

Just read the start of this article for example:

MERSEYSIDE giants Liverpool spent most of last summer acquiring half of Southampton’s playing staff – and now Merseyside minnows Everton are poised to nab their manager.

Like WTF is that about?

That is actually outrageous.

I get that tongue in cheek journalism is a thing, but it shouldn't be that vindictive, nasty and biased in doing so.

Awful journalism, sadly to be expected from an awful rag. The standards of journalism in the UK altogether are in the toilet - thankfully they're all dying out.

He an ex player, he's bound to stay loyal to them.

I agree, he wont want to upset either club.

I saw who wrote it and immediately closed it. Bitter kopite scumbag, about as funny as picking sweet corn out of your poop.

Spot on on the southern-based media.

Sad fact: the Guardian have one full-time staff reporter based outside of London (that is Helen Pidd, in Manchester - the 'Northern Correspondent')

The Telegraph, Express etc etc, have none. Their 'name' reporters - Sam Wallace, Paul Joyce etc - live further afield, but are the roaming reporters and never in their respective offices anyway - simply working from home/wherever the sport is.

However, don't get how that links to Brexit, though suppose that's for a different thread...

Brexit is driven by South of England politicians as the north will be even more neglected in favour of the south in the event of Brexit. Fact. Liverpool case in point.


But yeah. Media and their small time South of England mentality.

Ned Stark used to stick up for us on Game of Thrones but the bad kopite Joffrey cut off his head.

Relationships with the press are a two way process. In an era just gone where we had little that was obviously attractive to mainstream media we made very little investment or effort in media relationships.

The quality of our output and reach out to the media has been extremely poor in terms of strategy and personnel.

Looking forward we should be a much more attractive proposition, however that can be improved upon by the club engaging properly with media and building the appropriate narrative.

That should not be lost on Moshiri and incoming board members.

I'm not a PR professional. But I take the view Esk. You either respect me (Everton) or push off.

The good thing about Moshiri. He is rich enough to fight through the ignorance. His money and resources brings Everton into the modern era.

Levesen demonstrated that UK media standards really were in the toilet. It also thankfully killed off the News of the World.

Hillsborough's public inqury has shown the world what The Sun really is as well. Plus the lies they deliberately tell.

It all started to turn sour when one of our fans tried to insert a dildo into a sky sports presenters ear.

I just hope it wasn't one of the Jamies.

I'm from the north, I'm voting out - I know loads of people who are as well...

But anyway, that's for the other thread.

Pat Nevin always speaks highly about Everton.

I'd say he speaks evenly about Everton, remember he had some negatives when his ginger friend had left the club to move down the east Lancs road.

Haha. Will tell him,next time I am talking with him.

I also think Pat Nevin gives us some good press too. He always speaks like one of our ex-players should giving praise when it's due and not overdoing the not so good stuff. Unlike the brown-nosed Lineker who likes to forget that he ever played for us! He seems to remember his time at Leicester incredibly well, especially over the last few months!

This is the point. If we were to win the league I guarantee that he wouldn't let anybody forget the fact that he played for us.
