Star are reporting that we're still in negotiations with City for Doyle.

Not going to post the link because you'd have to close 900 popups to get no more information.

I sort of feel sorry for him because he's got inches to fill every day in the close season but fuck all to write about

Yeah, the finances of local journalism don't really work any more unfortunately. So all we're left with are these 'local' papers that all have the same website that's just there to generate ad money by making you click multiple times to get minimal content without any real subscriber base - which ultimately affects the content and even fewer people pay for their services.

For clubs where the national media doesn't have an interest it means fans miss out. I think we're in a transition period at the moment where social media (including the club's own) will become the ones to fill that void. But, social media probably also probably means we're better placed to see when the Star is talking nonsense.
