The club can be criticised for not knowing what was going on at the time, but the papers and the BBC are not interested in criticising Crewe for not knowing what was going on that is not sensational enough, they want to make out that the club knew what was going on all the time and if there is no proof of that then they will pay people like our former managing director to make up accusations. The BBC will then make up a story from an unidentified fictional footballer about parents confronting Bennell, which never happened and people like this Vale troll lap it all up, its in the papers and the TV, it all has to be true. He then comes on here with his holier than though attitude and hears something different, somewhere nearer the truth whithout the spin the manipulation and lies from the media and he chooses not to listen to what is being said, he has made up his mind from the lies in the media, he's from the potteries so we shouldn't expect too much. So because he hasn't got a clue he then goes down the line that we don't care the club doesn't care, but we know where the problem lies and that is in a cell, where Bennell with a 31 year sentence to his name resides and we get angry when the media wants to tell a different story. a story that is based on lies and tries to destroy the reputation of a man who has given a large part of his life to this club. A man who hasn't done anything wrong and has never been accused of doing anything so they make up there lies they manipulate the facts and distort the truth for a sensational headline without a care in the world for anybody involved in all this, including the victims.. Then the police come along and all the rubbish printed by the press and the lies spouted on the BBC is blown apart and vale Troll can't handle that angle because innocence its not sensational and doesn't make headlines. 'dialogue of the deaf' j sums it up perfectly but not just Vale Troll but all the Trolls, including the media.
