Clive has his hands tied, to be fair. The BBC can't be seen to take sides on something like this because of their supposed requirement for impartiality. I think he knows the score, but also knows that he'll end up caught in the middle of this whole shitstorm and piss off one or more of the SISU / Wasps / CCC Out factions if he says it as he sees it.
Mate I don’t mean to bring this up on here but that’s nonsense , the bbc are not impartial about anything .
Brexit and trump should show you this
I don’t mind Clive though tbh
What a load of Potato WaffleThat's why I said 'supposed requirement'. I think it's a part of their charter iirc. We all know they're anything but, but imho Clive has always tried to sit on the fence. If you asked him if he wanted a jacket potato for dinner he'd try to extol the virtues of mash, chips and wedges, acknowledging that they're all as nice as one another and that all potato based products are equally deserving of a place on his plate.
My biggest objection to him, potentially unfairly, is that he isn’t a Coventry fan (or if he is you can’t tell). He lacks passion when he talks about us, and while he has to maintain some impartiality, having an actual opinion is allowed.
Spot on and that's the problem. Its not balanced at all. When someone comes on who isn't the usual council good / SISU bad they get cut off. Not to mention the chap pointed out, correctly, that Wasps hadn't paid £20m for ACL and Clive said he was wrong. Gilbert used the same incorrect figure in his piece last weekend.It sounded to me, when Pete called, that Clive was nervous about the direction the call to could be going and couldn’t bring the call to an end quick enough.
No he wasn'tHappy enough to have people threaten to strangle Seppala on air but not criticise the council or London Wasps. Funny that.
People who actually research this kind of thing show that the BBC are more impartial than most.Mate I don’t mean to bring this up on here but that’s nonsense , the bbc are not impartial about anything .

But... as good as you're going to get, with methodologies that can be checked and tested.
Now, if we move from national to local level, then there's enough from Simon Gilbert's approach since joining CWR from the Telegraph that shows how there's more of a balance coming out than before - we can all argue endlessly over many pages on here if it's enough. Naive to expect a commercial media to be impartial mind. Telegraph never has been, and never will be. Same as the Mirror, Mail aren't.
And the bloody travel during the phone in when there is only 5 minutes left.I think they do a decent job but mentioning wasps during a city game is incendiary. How many fans do we think there are across both clubs? 3-500???
And the bloody travel during the phone in when there is only 5 minutes left.
Ffs wait until its finished.
Funny just heard him say someone has text in saying please dont mention the Wasps he sounded quite upset and said he will.
But it is the only phone in dedicated to the Sky Blues!
