    That's how I see him anyway, he has made a few bad calls over the years.
    That's not true about Caro. She's far too professional to make up stories from rumours.

    As for Barrett that's perhaps another story. But has anyone considered he may actually be right?

    "Caro" and "Professional".......there's two words you don't normally see in the same sentence. I'd describe her more as an "over-embellisher" than a "maker-upperer".
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    I don't agree with the vast majority of criticism Caro cops, some of the tangents she gets on are over the top but she's the best of a bad lot for mine. It's a sad day for football journalism when Mark Robinson occupies what was the most coveted position.

    My problem with Caro is that she has never seemed interested in the football itself. All you ever hear is negativity and politics. Maybe she sees it as the niche she can fill as a football journo, but it really comes across as someone who is simply searching for drama.

    Her articles over the past few days have been very positive!

    Perhaps that's the problem......she seeks out drama. Although some would argue she creates the drama.

    Yeah she probably does on occasions, but in saying that I'd believe her and Patrick Smith's sources ahead of a blow hard like Barrett.
