Well I wrote this on my website, and i think it just about sums up the whole local press issue
"When it comes to keeping the proverbial ear to the ground regarding football, or indeed any subject that I know something about then I think I’d be pretty decent journo. However, let’s say the Express & Star sacked Tim Nash (I can but dream) then if I had his job would I be writing the turgid nonsense with which he fills the back pages and the website? I’ve read many of his “articles” and have shaken my head not in wonder, but disbelief just how bad and fawning to the Chairman and Chief Exec they are. These pieces are so Very ‘Umble and obsequious I wonder what the point is of him writing them. Is he frightened to tell it like it is? I would have loved to see Tim write an in depth piece on the spectacular, yet lemming like, season. Someone once said, “Print and be damned,” but had the Express & Star and Tim Nash actually done that would Cap’n Morgan have made him walk the plank and never allow him to set foot upon the good ship Molineux again?
Probably.
From the viewpoint of the Express & Star it would be difficult to compose a piece that would express the feelings in the city, the frustration felt regarding the seeming inertia and the intransigence coming from the senior management of the club without whipping the lunatic fringe into a metaphorical feeding frenzy. Every damning article and quote I’ve read about the sad decline of Wolves and criticizing the “status quo” has come in the form of “interviews” with ex-players like Don Goodman and Mel Eves, little or no editorial response has been forthcoming from Express & Star and especially Tim Nash."
