No he doesn't, but as a reporter he'll have a significant say in the tone of the piece. He would've seen the page before it was signed off (or signed it off himself, I've no idea how senior he is at the echo) and could've recommended an adjustment if he thought the terminlogy to be too harsh or damning. Corr doesn't seem to have been riled by just the piece though, his comments on Twitter came across that Corr/the club had been accomodating to the paper and had then had this piece produced which is misleading/sensationalist. It's an abuse of trust and, given the fact that it wasn't so long ago that Sturrock prohibited players from talking to the press, not a particularly wise one.

Chris Phillips ‏@CJPhillips1982
Love how important Shrimperzone posters think I am at the Echo. EastStandBlue, every point about me in your post is VERY wrong.

ESB, that's you told.
 
It seems a lot of people on here are very anti Chris Phillips/Echo. Nobody had a problem with the headline before Corr spoke about it. I've heard many people on here describe players as "crocked" when injured or discussing players that could be coming to us with bad injury records.

Im top of all the pre season tests, at the front in all the runnin and feel good. I also intend on scoring lots of goals this season.

Totally agree, people have to realise that CP is a true blues fan, who loves the club as much as we do. I sat with him on saturday and found him to be very pro everything SUFC, but as a journalist it is his job to report the good and the bad. His story about BC is fact, the guy has an injury AGAIN, whether minor or not and he has reported the fact. As for headlines and his input, is it not the job of the editor to finalise a report before going to print and also his job to generate the headlines. If it wasnt for CP we wouldnt know about 95% of what is going on, give the guy a break.

Ha, although as I said, I have no idea how senior Phillips is at the Echo. Chris, I humbly apologise for deeming you to be more important than you are. I stand by my point though... it's not just sensationalist, but an abuse of trust to have gone with that story/headline.

That CP didnt write!!! Why are you not getting this????
 
Hang on a minute, if CP doesnt write the headlines who does? That job seems like a piece of cake, let someone do all the hard work then just make up 4 or 5 words to go with it.
 
What you havnt answered is why is it an abuse of trust?? BC is injured fact! Isnt this all the paper is doing, reporting the fact? Is Jordan Robertson upset with CP becasue he said that he was hobbling around the training ground on crutches? BC should be grateful that he even has a contract after the past season, not be worrying about a headline that he doesnt like the sound of, surely. As i said i am a massive BC fan and truely hope he can recover to the form of two seasons ago, so im not having a go at him, but the whole thing seems to have been blown out proportion.
