    To be fair most of what Doug O'Kane writes is pretty decent

    That's not fair. I think Doug O'Kane does a great job of reporting on the football club.

    I've not had a physical copy of it since the Premier League season I reckon. I have noticed some of the brexity garbage in recent years so I only ever look at the football stuff now, which seems to be well written on the whole.

    The only thing that was ever of interest in the Chronicle was the sports section, especially before the days of the internet. Having seen the Farage cover I'd never buy a copy ever again. Even looking at the sport content online once in a blue moon makes me feel queasy.

    I wonder how many regular readers they lost due to that and whether it was worth it?

    Really like Doug. Hate The Chronicle. So I read his stuff online which ultimately improves their ad revenue I suppose.

    But I haven’t bought one for years, and won’t buy one ever again.

    Doug is a good journalist and the same for Leon at the YP. We are lucky to have them following the club.

    I haven't bought it since that cover either. I actually think Doug is a good sports writer but when you take money from a political party to feature on the cover of your newspaper you no longer publish a newspaper you publish propaganda.

    Good story about the CEO wanting to make himself easy to replace.
