Claret and Hugh .... Your thoughts on this fella/site

Ok , it's my own fault I know for being suckered in, but everytime I get directed to his site from NewsNow it's bad news in one shape or another .
Apparently the deal for the Moroccan has hit a snag , but according to SSN it's nearly there.
Is this guy just click bait at our expense , and pulling stories out his arse , or is there there some genuine reporting going on there . I'm sure the former , but let me know.

It's a curious concept: a Christian tabloid aimed at non-believers, edited by a former News of the World journalist, but perhaps it is an idea whose time has come.
The Son, a quarterly compact complete with trademark red and white masthead, is the brainchild of Fleet Street journalist Hugh Southon, who hopes that its slick production values, old-fashioned scoops and celebrity interviews will appeal to believers and agnostics alike.
Southon developed the idea with Steve Legg, a professional magician and author of seven books on Christianity, and claims it will dispel the myth that all Christians are boring. 'We're interested in football. We're interested in TV,' he says.
Most copies are bought in bulk by churches and posted through letterboxes, which makes it more of a marketing exercise than a bona fide newspaper operation. But some are also sold priced at 35p per copy, and Southon says the Son is likely to go monthly next year.
The March issue, which is currently on sale, includes interviews with Chelsea boss José Mourinho and PC Tony Stamp (Graham Cole) from TV's The Bill , a scathing critique of the Da Vinci Code and a column entitled 'More sex please, we're Christians'.
The title has already sold 60,000 copies, according to Southon, and is part-funded by advertising from Christian holiday, clothing and music companies. But with thousands of non-believers receiving the paper, Southon and Legg hope to secure lucrative advertising deals with high-street brands. They believe the paper could one day sit alongside the secular press on newsagents' shelves. 'At the moment we're not big enough for newsagents but if we can reach 100,000, which we think is achievable, we can start to think about that,' says Southon, who has 40 years' experience on Fleet Street, including stints at the Screws and, perhaps surprisingly, the Daily Sport.

It's an absolute joke of a site . There only purpose is too protect the shysters at all costs and wind the fanbase up into the bargain. And to be fair to them there seriously good at it .

Claret & Hugh is one of the sites I read every day.
Of course being WH, Hugh is a dyslexic, drunkard and journalist friend to Gold & Sullivan who I believe he used to work for on Sunday Sport newspaper...
It takes vision to appoint a dyslexic drunk as a journalist on a high quality newspaper. A bit like making a 21 year old sales girl MD of Birmingham perhaps?
Who would doubt the vision and wisdom of such a man?

Re: Official Transfer Rumours and Gossip Thread
Hmmm C & H you say?
Lets see, Hugh's been on it since 10AM so that's 7 - 8 hours. The "Bladderometre" suggests anything he writes at this time of the day and beyond is no more than ramblings of a washed up alchy... you can picture him now, his strides soaked as he failed to get to the khazi on time and surrounded by empty cans and bottles.
In short, best not to believe as he simply posts anything that makes GSB look good.

Repeatedly banned for daring to have a differing opinion to the two cunts running the site.
Not sure who bankrolls the site- read a puff-piece a couple of years ago pleading with West Ham fans to go easy on Gold so suspect it's probably him rather than the midget.
Is moderation still turned on? The old soak's able to cherry pick the responses he wants. No real debate.
Car crash of a site, best avoided.

Fears that Newcastle had bid late for the player turned out to be false when we were told the player was simply behind schedule when not arriving at the Hammers training ground.

They all do that, though? All this ‘last minute hitch’ stuff is exactly that.
I’m not defending them, but people ought to be savvy enough to clock clickbait bullshit by now

The only Newsnow feed you need to read is the one that says "West Ham have signed …."
Everything else, clickbait, rumour, speculation and 💩

Like all the 'In the knows', ex WHU is another dickhead.
They just spend one week saying something, the next denying it
Stopped listening to the podcast when the stupid sounding cunt asked for money
Clickbait at best
