My reaction to that "news" is exactly that of Neil read from W1A...Thread title update required!
Huge update from MEN:
Great band, The Warning.Good day today. Sitting in the garden with a beer, weather is sunny and 26C, The Warning playing on shuffle and spending my afternoon daydreaming. My favourite daydream is the one where the Glazers finally sell the club, take their billions, and on the way back to Florida they are mugged and lose the lot.
(I know transactions like this aren’t done with suitcases of cash, but I can dream)

MEN - can’t live with it can’t live without it.
What happened to MEN? It was a good newspaper back in the day.
I wouldn’t wipe my backside with it these days.
No one buys it in print so it's forced to make click based revenue, I guess.

Agree. I liked it in the early 90s.It's been awful for at least two decades.
Great band, The Warning.
Barely. I think it's readership is around 10% of what it was a decade and a half ago.An absolutely dreadful paper. No clue why locals buy enough fir it to survive

It’s 2:15pm in Florida and Joel Glazer is still deliberating what to have for breakfast. What chance do we have on the sale of the club!
There aren't going to be any leaks from exclusive negotiations. It's when the lawyers and people who couldn't give a feck about football and who have never given their number to Mike Keegan and haven't got Fabrizio Romano on speed dial, are thrashing out the final details.
Time for another holiday!Been on holiday all week and have barely been on the site….can’t believe absolutely nothing has happened with this.

Joel asked if he could pay for the breakfast with a Pay Day loan.It’s 2:15pm in Florida and Joel Glazer is still deliberating what to have for breakfast. What chance do we have on the sale of the club!
Is that a subtle Mad Men referenceTime for another holiday!

Reading through some of the 'comments' section on articles it appears to be an echo chamber for misogynists, racists and other low lives on earth! Just the worst example of a 'newspaper' there is.
Try the Telegraph, then come back with an update !Reading through some of the 'comments' section on articles it appears to be an echo chamber for misogynists, racists and other low lives on earth! Just the worst example of a 'newspaper' there is.
Nah mate that's just Samuel LuckhurstReading through some of the 'comments' section on articles it appears to be an echo chamber for misogynists, racists and other low lives on earth! Just the worst example of a 'newspaper' there is.
All local paper website comments are all exactly the same. In every area.
I’m never sure if they’re genuine or Russian / Chinese / Tory troll accounts designed to demoralise normal people.

MEN website is a special case of shite, particularly if you're looking for anything on one of the local newspapers they took over, on my former home town's site the latest of the 4 'news" articles is from Feb 2023 and the 4th one is from Sept 2022 - pathetic in the least!Thing with all these local and regional papers now being online is that it's almost impossible to actually read the articles they put up due to being attacked by an army of ads. Some even require you to complete a questionnaire to read about how Ethel had her milk stolen and the hunt for the theif has gripped the town.
I suspect that they are bots or their human equivalents, these comments also follow the same logic than Quora "edgy" questions or answers.
What does this mean?

Finally he settles on the scrambled eggs of an endangered bird species because he likes them ‘slightly better’ than free age chicken eggs.
A member of Raine group then congratulates him on his decision and asks, ‘and what would you like to drink, master?’.
Without hesitation, Joel replies decisively, ‘Orange juice’.
‘Certainly, sir’, replies the Raine group lackey, before adding, ‘with pulp or without?’.
‘Hmmm’, Joel replies, a worried look overcoming his mole-like features…
‘Hmmm, that’s a real thinker… come back in 4 hours and I’ll mull it over in the meantime’.
‘Very good, sir’, says the Raine sycophant, with a forced smile.
Unsure but CBS calls in journalists who don't work for them. Ornstein was there a few times.Doesn't the venerable Ben Jacobs work for CBS sports?

The outrageous comments are almost exclusively right wing talking points. Whether it is about politics, security, culture, economy...

They say the thief has got some bottle.
Biggest milk thieves used to be blue tits. My dad used to order a pint of gold to on a Sunday but he would always wait for the blue tits to have their share of the cream before he brought it in.
