[JCL]

He was on a hefty wage there which is bound to have been part of the consideration. Sure he will get another gig elsewhere. Quality journalism needed as badly as ever these days.

 

[vintime]

Yet fannies like Stewart and Sutton are actively encouraged and welcomed with open arms to spout their inflammatory negative pish.
World's completely fcukced.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

He'll still get plenty work as a freelance no doubt. I mean if a fanny like Spiers can still get his shite printed.....

 

[Jeepster]

Can't go Winter at all. Reminds me of that awful, smug, self-important, Sunday Supplement era of football journalists who thought they knew better than anyone who had watched, played or managed in the game.

Aye cause they're anywhere near The Times.

Winter isn't going to be short of work

Click bait and soundbites are more valuable than real journalism these days, and not just in sport either

 

[julian candy]

I'm sure he'll be fine for work.

That wasn't my point.

 

[Blue_Streak]

Always liked Winter tbh. Someone else will snap him up. Print journalism is on the way out, but written isn’t. It’ll all be blogs etc eventually.

Great journalist. I'm sure he will move to bigger and better opportunities. Very much the Times loss. The material he puts out there is well reasoned and a joy to read at times. Sorry that he's going through that process but I'm sure he will have plenty of offers coming his way due to his reputation and body of work.

 

[Angus Young]

Was my dream when I was younger to be a football writer for a broadsheet newspaper.

A dying industry unfortunately.

You'd wonder if a few of the writers at the Guardian are getting nervous.

Earning £400k a year plus — and this is hilarious ˘— image rights at the Times.

100%

 

[daven37]

Get him signed

 

[mkgers]

I wonder if they're following the SSN model of replacing journalists with youtubers.

Seems to be a few like that on here.

I dont think he can any more. Which is nice.

However im sure he has a paid patreon site which i find utterly bizarre.

He must be down there with that crazy Bheast blogger that begs for money continuously.

Again, which is nice.

Lie with dogs etc

 

[charlie_snowball]

When I worked in PR, I had to phone him for something (I can't remember what it was for but it wasn't one of my accounts). He was pleasant enough but you could tell he did not give a single fück what I was pitching him Just humoured me.

To be honest, it was better than the poorly written, slobbering, fanboy style that we get nowadays.

 

[KJ_Rozental]

Guy is completely cashed up, owns multiple properties was on a massive wage (500k wage annually).

I imagine he'll just do TV appearances and won't get another print job, especially considering ChatGPT and a good editor could replace him.

 

[MillportBear]

Winter and Barney Ronay at the Guardian are the two best football writers in the country.

I thought he was excellent in Happy Days

 

[Crackerjack 12]

Looking at his Avatar he's got a look of the Brenda about him. Or is I going GaGa????

 

[Morty]

Shame as he's one of the better ones.

Hopefully the CFG stooges Oliver Holt and Martin Samuels are next.

 

[Gameboy]

The Athletic will snap him I reckon.

He is a smug git and full of his own self-importance, but at least he can back it up to an extent and has respect within the game. It's when you have nonentities like Spiers displaying a superiority complex, you really get the boak. The guy is a joke figure with zero credibility. Then there's bitter twats like Stewart & Sutton stealing a living from the game. No, while Winter isn't someone I'd choose to sit and have a pint with, I'd read his articles and listen to his views above Spiers, Stewart & Sutton any and every day of the week. And yes, I know that's a low bar.

Winter or Keevins.
Come on out with it.

Really?

 

[top_cat]

Winter works freelance for Talk Sport Radio on a Sat/Sun morning, he won't be short of a bob.

He's 61 years old, took me by surprise...suppose it reminds me how old I am now lol

Clinton Morrison acting like a roadman with a lobotomy.

Clinton Morrison acting like a roadman with a lobotomy.

I’m nearly sure it was him talking the other day on Talksport about the new Liverpool manager having good English.

And he came out with a cracker about Poch needing a translator at the start as he was “speaking Argentinian”. As thick as two planks.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

I thought he was excellent in Happy Days

I reckon he’ll know how many days there are in a week

Innit man.

 

[MartinS93]

Loved a moan about England fans singing "f*** the Pope and the IRA" back in the day.

Smarmy bastard whenever he's on Talksport.

Holt is a condescending prick. He also can’t handle anyone with alternative viewpoints, as seen on Twitter where he blocks reasoned (and polite) debate. He even admitted so a while back about being too trigger happy in that sense.

 

[Desolatedadobear]

 

[SouthernGer]

Martin Samuel now the main man at The Times, awful journalist. Just read his articles on PSR/FFP, completely clueless

 

[Worthy_Candidate]

I wonder what his redundancy package looks like?

Fairly certain Henry won’t be worrying about his Winter gas bill.

Bit like your posts on here

 

[aghalee_hero]

Henry Winter wrote some good articles about our Europa League run if I remember rightly.

Thanks to the fuds who reminded me of that God awful Sunday Supplement program though.

 

[Ampersand]

He's been laid off because he's no longer of use to his paymasters to peddle whatever narrative is deemed promotable.

The MSM is not any working class guys friend.

Thank you Keir Hardie.

Thank you Keir Hardie.

Men of such principle are in short supply in the political echelons these days.

 

[Bluebell19]

I don’t mind reading what he’s written, but my God he’s insufferable when you hear him speak. Pompous arșe.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

Martin Samuel is a fat, hairy piece of shit but will probably work for a daily plate of pie and chips and 50 quid a week, just to keep his name in print. So only one winner there really.

We're in the death throes of all this stuff now though. I can't imagine anyone under the age of thirty cares what these dinosaurs say anymore.

Sky definitely gave rise to ‘superstar journalists’ who thought they were the final word on football.

He wasn’t as bad as some but….’The names Bond, James Rodriguez’
