why is stevie talking exclusively to the NOW?

[JohnOK]

Isn't it just extracts from his autobiography?

NOTW is nothing to do with The S*n. The Sunday version of The S*n is The People (formerly The Sunday People). NOTW goes way back to 1843, whereas The S*n was founded in 1969.

Not a clever move at all

However it doesn't damage the boycott of The S*n, so it's not a calamitous error either

Footballers "writing" their autobiography!! Its really getting on my tits. They could at least wait until the end of their career. Even Rooney will have one written down.. Its like Britney Spears making a "best-of"...

And as for footballers talking to tabloids, it just shows that footballers are nothing but...footballers.

Stevie ....... no!

It is the sister paper of the that rag.

[scully]

Actually just chedked on wikipedia - I was wrong, it's the sunday version of the s*n:
quote:
The News of the World is a British tabloid newspaper published every Sunday. It is published by News Group Newspapers of News International, itself a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation and can be considered to be the Sunday version of The Sun.

It definitely didn't used to be the Sunday version. I guess the fact that the Sunday People couldn't compete with the NOTW caused a takeover.

Damn.

Sunday People is owned by the mirror group?

Sunday People is owned by the mirror group?

not sure because the mirror group have their own sunday rag.

not sure because the mirror group have their own sunday rag.

The Sunday Mirror and The People are both owned by the trinity group

erm, the news of the world is basically the sunday sun. i thought everyone knew this. As for stevey G talking o it, its nothing like as bad as talking to the sun, but still a piss poor decision. Hes by no means the 1st liverpool player to deal with the news of the world and he wont be the last so i think we have to grudgingly accept it. if it was the sun however, now that would be another matter altogether.

They've said they've got an exclusive interview with him tomorrow.

[FaganK]

its not a bad move at all, they are seperate papers

there is NO boycott of the NOTW, the HJC gave owen permmission to do exclusive with them before

nothing to see here folks, move along

Well i guess that means then that all the propertys that Robbie/Macca owns along with the race horses are a mirage then. Seen as how footballers are "Just Footballers" with nothing in between there ears. Give them some credit wil ya fella.
And as for footie players writing their biographys, i have NO problem what so ever with them doing that. Would you not read a biography on Pacino or De Nero because they are "still acting"? or how about one on McCartney. Would you say, 'Well **** that. Robbing ******* is still writing music and now he wants ME to read his book.' Nah, you'd go out and read it.
And in all fairness here, wether we like it or not, Britney Spears has had quite a few hits and releasing a best of isnt that bad of an idea if you were her record company at the moment.
Im not having a dig at you mate and i can hear some of what your saying but to dismiss footballers as thick as two planks of wood is a little ignorant imo. I know you never said this as such but you insinuated it.

[murder_inc]

On the subject, i think Stevie will recieve a bit of flak for doing this. I know its not the s*n per say but it is the sister paper

Sunday People is owned by the mirror group?

yes, the same people who own the echo and the post .....trinity mirror...
