Does the job description include, must love recycling old news into as many stories as possible.

 

[Southend tangerine]

it’s 80% covering Blackpool with 20% writing articles for the rest of the newspaper group - that is a cutback from previously I think?

 

[AmericanTangerine]

The fact that they've just posted this despite Scrafton leaving months ago gives away the ambition they have for the role...

Summer window is more than halfway over with preseason starting and they're just now trying to get someone?

An experienced and skilled slave could be the bottom of the pile, seniority wise. Can't expect to go in as editor

Is it for the Gazette? if so, I'd guess the most important skill is making sure the ink doesn't rub off the pages onto my arse

That's all I'd ever use the Gazette for

Has anyone alerted Phil, he’d be excellent would ask the difficult questions. He’d be like a lower league football Paxman. Plus he’d get to see the games and save on his season ticket money.

If you count the number of times they ask for experience in x, y and z in the job description, it sounds like they want an experienced person to accept the role but at an entry level wage. Maybe explains why they haven't managed to fill the role almost 2 months after Matt Scrafton left.

As a teenager I wanted to be Tony Durkin. I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with that

It seems strange these days but when I was a teenager some sports writers were my heroes
