I wrote at length about Lord Triesman and his untimely gaffe that has the England 2018 WC bid teetering on the edge of a cliff.
Newcastle United, who have been promoted to the Premier League after playing in the Championship last season, have called for all Premier League teams to ban the two newspapers responsible for the sting on Lord Triesman. The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, which are sister papers, were already in hot water with Newcastle over a previous incident and were petitioning the club to overturn that ban when they published the Lord Triesman articles.
"That story was not in the best interest of English football and has had enormous adverse repercussions already with regard to the 2018 World Cup bid. Newcastle United Football Club supports the stance taken by Gary Lineker who has ceased to provide a column for the newspaper and has been outspoken in his criticism."
"The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, will be unwelcome at Newcastle United for the foreseeable future. The club has also written to the Premier League and all other Premier League chairmen, asking for their support in Newcastle's stance against these publications." [end story]
I support this ban because the motives of the girl involved and the newspaper were never revealed to the public. She was supposedly a former flame/friend of his...so why taperecord his conversation when she had no idea what he was going to discuss...
