I tend to agree. Val shouting from the rooftops that the sky is falling in at United might have sold newspapers and got website hits in the short term, but over the long term if the supporters / readers are unable to place trust in what the journalist writes, then they can't respect them as a legitimate source of news.After what has happened i think Val's time may be up.
The only paper in the state can't keep ignoring the state's only a-league team especially now that everything seems to be falling into place.
Time will tell if they kiss and make up but I don't think it will happen to soon.
Meanwhile Richard Earle and Jai Bednall have been writing good, balanced pieces about football & United - being critical & raising issues where necessary - but they are multi-sports writers rather than specialising in football. Where's Roger Explosion where you need him??
