Agree that stories are inevitable, but we don't help ourselves - then again the days when the local press stuck up for the club's interests seem to have passed in favour of clicks. Feel a bit dirty for going on the Echo site such is its decline, but this morning "Liverpool fired Salah warning, but they won't be listening" was the headline.
The content was related a bit to Ian Wright's comments on Sky- they were fired a warning by the Ian Fucking Wright. The balance in the piece (much further down) was provided some quotes by Bellamy, which of course played no part in the headline.
I don't know Kristian Walsh, but he's always come across as a sound lad, but he must be in despair having to come up with x number of Liverpool articles a day only to have a sub editor or equivalent misrepresent the content with a shitty headline.
Industrial grade shite it may be, but the problem is that this is the sort of things that give a story legs, which can create the build up of pressure that makes bids more likely. When you have a sports media that bases its content on what other parts of the same sports media are saying, the only hope is that the whole thing eventually collapses under the weight of its own bullshit.
I just know that next time I'm in a pub with non Liverpool supporting friends, the question from some of the more easily influenced will be "Do you think Salah will go to Madrid then". Does my head in.
