They will just put more of those virus filled pop up adverts all over the site no doubt. Hes been angling for this for a while, cant believe they waited so long.

Recently he's probably overstepped the mark a bit. My disagreement is in the way it has been interpreted and treated by "the club", though that means KA really. Maybe BN will have a word with him in private about some of his conduct especially as his personal account doubles as his professional one, but I'm extremely glad they've come out in public support of him, so they bloody should.

Moderators Casino Posted December 14, 2018 Moderators Share Posted December 14, 2018 Fair enough In an ideal world, our press officer will surely have been warning him to tone it down before a ban has been imposed Either way, however numb he is, he knew he was playing with fire So he's probably stood, brush in hand, thinking job done Ken would've been better off saying, that thumb headed twat wants me to ban him, I ain't playing his game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the lines in the article states this - "we are here to report what happens at the club for the thousands of fans across Bolton and beyond" Of course they aren't, they are here to make money for the business they work for and one of the ways they do that is to report on the local club. If no one wanted to read about it do you think they would still report about it - of course they wouldn't. Clearly they've been delighted about all the clicks that as been generated recently! Probably been their busiest week or two in ages and today is obviously their bonanza day. They'd throw Iles under the bus in a second if he wasn't getting any clicks and the fool has simply been utterly unprofessional how he's gone about it. If they really want to stand by Iles then blank the club and refuse to report on it until Iles is reinstated. Let's see how big their bollocks are - or is it just empty words as I fully suspect.

TrickyTrotter Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I'm no flag bearer for Marc Iles or the Bolton News, which is a shocking site full of adverts, stories from Twitter and (presumably) paid storeis promoting various local businesses, but the club can't win this one and have made a stupid decision.

Don't think so. I think he's been banned full stop. The BN are welcome to replace him. His ban is down to Twitter shit-stirring, not his work for the rag.

An official from the club met up with senior representatives from the Bolton News yesterday to outline our position and you can only imagine my disappointment and frustration when Marc published a tweet this morning which we considered to be unprofessional. To paraphrase Marc’s ‘Enough Is Enough’ paraphrase I decided to suspend his club media privileges until we can find a solution that is beneficial to the long term future of the club. As I have reiterated to them, this stance does not apply to the Bolton News nor its other members of staff who are welcome to undertake their duties.

I agree Iles has and agenda to a point but don’t trust Ken at all. Mileage in that. I noticed for the first time the other day that national radio reported Ken had paid the wages. It should have been a plus for Ken, if the club had responded well to it. Now they've done this, the national story will be more negative. Not great.
