And there's nothing sillier than falling out with the press is there? Why, only this season, when Rule got a bit cross with the local media and temporarily banned RH over the Reardon story, we had this comment:
General Zod wrote: Good PR execution in the context of the local media has changed in the last few years due to sportstalk on the BBC, KCFM starting up with specific nights for all sports clubs, HDM publishing public comments and course internet message boards like RL Fans. Thankfully, we have an inspirational leader, a talisman in Neil Hudgell who has acknowledged this change hence his interview in the HDM after already making a statement on the club's official website on the financial rumours. He also stated at our fans forum "the media are entitled to report what they like".
Also these unequivocal Rovers views about spats with the press:

It seems Rule doesn't want to advocate freedom of speech. Why doesn't he just don an SS uniform and have done with it?

While I may feel sorry for FC they have lined themselves up somewhat and for them and Rule to take the ball home everytime they dont like it is a little immature.
