You could say the same for managers - why not employ someone who loves the club rather than some random foreigner? They're all employed and they'll take their job seriously - Naylor has been covering the Albion for years so whilst he may support another team he definitely wants success for us.
I've never had a problem with him - he's objective and whilst will never be the best journalist in the world he knows his stuff and never commits to a story until he has a source for it. We could certainly do worse.
