pluto Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 You are clearly out of your depth with the title 'Head of Media' and you should think about moving on for the good of the club. Your position at the club has become untenable following the disasterous handling of allowing Alex Crook and his chums access to Southampton FC. Its very clear that this individual is bad news to the club and looks to damage it any given chance. This buffon is only interested in making money via sensationalism and you Sibley have allowed it to happen. He has even been accused this week of making something up about a player and selling it to the tabloids. You might think its all a bit of fun and laugh behind his back, but i and many other Saints fans think its seriously very damaging to our club.

angelman Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 Guess this makes a difference from the ballcocks you usually come out with concerning Cat A games. Basically, and I am being presumptuous here, why can't you **** off and give us all a break from your asinine banalities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Armstrong Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 Maybe we should have Cat A press conferences? Also, unless I'm missing something, didn't the Shane Long story come up in the Irish Independent before it even got into the English tabloids?

Daft Kerplunk Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 The original post suggests a massive degree of ignorance at how the media works, and as such the post should be locked and deleted. And probably an apology to Mr Sibley perhaps for the sensationalist response, which I believe is what you are against should be forthcoming!

Turkish Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 Ahh so that's what Sibley does now. I'd been wondering about what his new role was post Cortese as presumably there was no one needed to run the new CEOs baths and collect their lunch and dry cleaning.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 Whilst it may seem fun to ban a journalist who fabricates stories (or, if not fabricated, is very uninformed - just as bad for a journalist) about Saints I can understand the club letting him get on with it and allowing the public to make up their own mind about his record. Ultimately the more he gets wrong the more he'll be ridiculed by fans. He'll get paid no matter what so I don't imagine he cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-Armstrong Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 (edited) Strongarm, is that the best defense you can provide for your mentor and guide? Defence for my mentor and guide? Don't quite get that. The agency that Alex has a stake in gets contracts from national newspapers to find journalists and ensure that the papers have the relevant content, which in turn pays myself (and countless others) to go and report on football matches at other clubs around the south and in London, or to attend press conferences and pick up quotes. He gets a cut for hooking the papers up with the journalists. I've also worked with many others and a professional football club. Are they all mentors and guides, too? I've always been pretty transparent about it: yes, I know Alex personally and yes, I once worked alongside him for a grand total of one week. Now, I write on a freelance basis for agencies, newspapers and websites - one of which is the agency that Alex has a stake in. My personal opinions on Alex, his style or any stories that have come out in the national press are neither here nor there. I was just making the point that people saying that Alex entirely manufactured the Long story have, ironically, entirely manufactured it.

stevegrant Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 As mentioned already, why would the club give him ammunition by banning him so he can make the story about the evil football club stopping the hard-working journalist earning a living? Much easier to just let him carry on spouting **** which gets proven to be wrong. The world will continue to turn, and nobody will give a **** about some two-bit hack who gets his rare accurate exclusives from the matchday programme.
