Managers and chairman love to throwing a wobbly with the press from time to time only a few weeks back Chairman Peter Ridsdale was up in arms banning the South Wales Echo some article or other and last week manager Dave Jones as joined the club and banned them has well.
How long for who knows, it will not be for that long over the years the Echo have been banned countless times. Contact with your local press is important because unless you are in the Premier League or playing one of the big clubs you get next to no coverage in the national papers. Take the day Cardiff were in court for the winding-up order there were four teams in court that day but if you looked in the national papers the next day you would think there was only one Portsmouth.
When it come to carrying on a ban when most fans do not a f*** about is Sir Alex Ferguson who has not spoken to the BBC since 2004 after they run a Panorama documentary which portrayed his son, Jason, an agent, as using his father’s status to gain influence in the transfer market he was never found guilty. Ferguson senior swore never to speak to the BBC again.
Premier League has passed a motion for next season to make managers post-match and after match interviews mandatory for the manager or a senior member of the coaching staff to give a press conference.
The Bluebirds need the media has much as the media needs Cardiff City stories and articles come and go and it seems the latest was over a headline. We get a lot of coverage in the local written press, good bad or ugly I get hot under the collar sometimes with the players ratings. I cannot understand why some fans go on and on about the South Wales Echo is anti-Cardiff and in the same breath, say its run by the Rugby mafia. Per week I would say there is more stories about the City than the Blues the finance problem take up a lot of space in the last few weeks.
