You will need to turn to to the link here if you wish to read the entire interview as the club’s media department has produced its normal trick of choosing a favourite newspaper to report a particularly interesting piece rather than put it on its own website or share it with any of the daily West Ham dedicated fans sites. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7665903/Mark-Noble-long-standing-favourite-wants-decision-maker-West-Ham.html
It’s the old media way of doing things of course rather than recognising the world at large has moved on and tends to look to pixels and club dedicated sites rather than print.
Our sympathies go out to Mark for having to give his views to the Mail, as we would were it had been a particular tabloid, which will remain unnamed.
And YES we are annoyed that such an interview was given to one newspaper rather than being shared across the West Ham United digital media where people dedicate their lives to bringing news of our favourite club to be regularly ignored when exclusive interviews are being handed out.
We won’t run the whole piece – there’s too much of it – but here are some of the points Mark raises:
We didn’t have anything. But we had food. Now people haven’t. ‘That’s why we are here today, to let people know people are starving. I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s a big problem round here. The current government can’t even get along with each other, never mind tackle important stuff like this. ‘Today highlights what is happening in the borough of Newham.’
Bet that went down well on the Mail’s political desk!!!!!
And on the move from Upton Park:
There’s more but sadly you will need to turn to the newspaper concerned to read it. Would have been nice to have seen it shared with the rest of us across the West Ham media community but apparently that’s not the way things work within the WHUFC media department.
