    Craig Hope

    What do you make of him? He?s still going on and on about Isak. I?d saw Howe is getting a pain in his boll0x with him bringing up Isak all the time.

    I can't make my mind up on him, tbh.

    I quite like his videos and he seems canny plus he's a genuine fan.

    Problem is, his brief from the Daily Heil is to look for trouble and focus more on the negative aspects of a story rather than the positive ones because that's what sells and gets clicks.

    He's not known as Craig no-Hope for nothing.

    ?Craig no- hope? 😆

    Isn?t he the one that Steve Bruce called a liar quite publicly

    Aye he is.

    I can't decide on him, he seems to show so much glee when things go wrong for us and to push those stories. . . . but as said that is what is directed by his paper.

    I just don't know.

    Well if so, that automatically makes him one of the good guys.

    His favorite moments are when he breaks a bad news story first. Hes a clicks merchant.

    He's a man who you can tell genuinely enjoys the smell of his own farts.

    A pontificating blow hard who thinks he's a Jack Kerouac beat journalist type figure of the football journalist scene.

    He is a man how loves the attention. An ambitious failed footballer himself, he's clearly moved his focus to climbing the Journo league table.

    No doubt with the eyes of the football world on the scumbag's defection to the bin dippers he's been the flavour of the month this summer for his editor and the bosses down on Fleet street.

    The drunken 'bits to camera' whilst staggering through the streets of Seoul were particularly nauseating.

    "If it bleeds, it leads." the credo of the news man. One he clearly holds dear hence the nickname 'no-hope'. Bad news sells and get engagement.

    He doesn't need direction from the higher ups at the Daily Fail, his own self-aggrandization, inflated Ego and self-importance ensures he'll keep peddling his own wordy nonsense.

    His 'contacts at the top of the club', as he kept referring to, are the commercial people in the club. During the summer there was no one else at the club outside of Eddie's camp to squeeze information from.

    I put him in the same bracket as other ITKs like Romano and the other bought and paid for press flunkies.

    His content gets a view but is still untrustworthy.

    When watching Eddie's press conference live al information from the horse's mouth is the truth. Shortly after, the Fart sniffer in chief, smuggly delivers his little vignette via selfie stick. He really enjoys the fact he gets to go record in the stands after the game or at the training ground reserve pitches. 'The behind the scenes access or us peasants'.

    As someone who has worked in media for 25 yrs had 10x the levels of exclusive access this man could even dream of in his most fart filled fever dream I do find that part extremely condescending.

    In short. He has some good points but the man is a massive prick who thinks far too much of himself.

    I, for one, am confused about Raga's stance on him.
