This all day long. Honeymoon period for Rags but if as I believe that squad isn't good enough & we start winning with style they turn on each other like rabid rats.

Remember Wee Davey & Mad Louis & the way the media destroyed them.

Spot on

The only way to stop this negativity is to win everything in sight.
With our resources we eventually will.
In the meantime I will enjoy their pain and bitterness rather than worry about the shit they come out with.

Are you joking?
We'll never be allowed to win "everything in sight". Too much money at stake. Every plastic rag would not tune in or click on a page. Look at our two title wins, both last day, now look at some of the decisions during those seasons. With the teams we had v the rest we should have won easy.
Shit scared they have invented ffp and Cl places for the Thursday cup. Restrict us and give the money earners a leg up.
Football is rotten to the core.

This unfortunately.

With every passing day i'm more and more convinced of just how rotten this game has become and the start to our season and treatment from the officials are just a taster of what we can expect yet again as they go all out to put a stop to us.

Most weeks we will overcome it due to our sheer quality but they will influence enough games and results to ensure we dont win everything and prefered clubs gain the success needed to grow the PL brand worldwide.

It's an endless and self-perpetuating circle. The media is driven by clicks and/or viewing figures, so it actively seeks to curry favour with the clubs with the biggest fan bases, which means puff pieces for the chosen few and the poison pen for those who threaten their incomes. It also means partisan pundits and selective focus when it comes to key incidents, and all of course piling the pressure on to match officials and the game's governing bodies in the process. It is a relentless assault and the only way it will ever stop is if/when we become successful to the point that our global fan base is the equal of the dippers, the rags and the arse.....in other words it will never stop

It is. 2012 he did an interview with Vieira, misrepresented what Vieira said, the club requested a retraction, none was forthcoming so the club banned him.

Two years later the Beeb promoted him to Sports Editor.

If ever you needed a clearer example of what happens when you do something damaging to MCFC you end up with a promotion.

Do you think this guy would have been promoted if he had done similar to the rags, no, more likely he would have been demoted.

I don´t think we should expect anything else. Our owners new money was not wanted from day 1.

Their cartel failed so if they are prepared to use actual rules to bar us from entry surely bending existing ones when FFP failed is not an unreasonable reaction ?.
Not dealing with state laws or common decency here we are up against shysters and sorely wounded traditionalist clubs with a history to protect. We were not wanted so nothing has changed other than our continued growth to reinforce their initial fear of our owners business acumen being enacted step by step.

Our only way to win when everything is stacked up against us is to concede the anti City feeling as inevitable then score more goals despite it.

The media only went to town on Moyes after the rag hierarchy gave them the nod to do so, cos they (the rags) wanted him out themselves. However having orchestrated the biggest media love-in ever seen when Moyes was appointed with all that "natural successor" bullshit day after day, they couldn't just sack him without making sure public opinion was behind them, hence their endorsement of a media hatchet job

Why can't our football club stand up and be counted ? The continuous lies and innacurracies in the media about our football club are very damaging to our "brand" , you only have to look at the agenda type threads on this forum to clearly see there is a problem with the media , what frustrates me is that our football club just takes it , hour after hour day after day week after week our club is besmirched. Maybe if our esteemed chairmen started taking actions against individuals like the La Liga and Barca mouth pieces then perhaps others would think twice about making vicious and bereft of fact statements , but until the club fights back , then the media will continue to take the piss. We've tried the softly softly approach time to get the c*nts in court.

You might want to take a look in the FFP/La Liga whinging threads.....
