TOPIC: BBCRC Tonight

I think the national press need a bit of criticism on all of this too. Any journo worth the name could have easily contacted James Phillips or Jon Colman and asked for the inside track on Carlisle this season, with us being in the spotlight because of floods + Everton. I'm sure 5 mins in the company of either would have revealed to them the alternative story of a club flogging their best young players for less than they're worth, a laughable (stalled) attempt at a new stadium, a director who swears on the radio and makes people pay to read his (non-) apology; and a disgruntled fanbase sick of the lack of leadership and vision and support given to a manager capable of getting the club up a division with the right backing.

Instead they all seemingly parroted the "brilliant community effort" stuff - which, while true, is also a convenient smokescreen for the mess the club was in before storm Desmond hit.

Would be interested to know if Colman or Phillips had any such contact with any journalists and pointed them in the right direction, but they would rather run with the simpler story of "well done little Carlisle"...
