Martin Samuel appreciation

Fame Monster said:
One of the few to cotton on to the pretty basic idea that financial regulations which prevent aspiring, non-elite clubs to spend the same as those already in the elite cannot and should not ever be described as fair.

If we're going to have financial regulations, it should be the same for all clubs. That means a single wage cap and a single transfer fee cap.

Oh, all the other journalists know this as well, they just don't want or are not allowed to report it, 90% of them have vested interests in LFC/RAGS being winners, they do not want us to be successful, hence the ten years of shitty press, I can't wait for them to start to go bankrupt one by one.
 
Sure 90% of the article is ok but he starts like the rest have started so he can flip as and when required and claim he was right all along just like the rest.

All fucking snakes and i dont get the smoke being blown up his arse one bit?
 
Just a wild stab in the dark but his views on UEFA may have been shaped by the interview he did with Fat Boy Platini a few years back. Go search.
 
He was the only the one to admit on Suday Supplement a few months ago , that the editors of the press openly encourage negative coverage towards our club and journalist essetnially score brownie points for digging dirt up on our club whilst they are encouraged to highlight the positives of the 'istree clubs , the media is a business the clicks are essential to their profits , truth has absolutely nothing to do with the articles that are written , and they will always have a an unnamed "source" to refer to , or basically they are telling a pack of lies.

He might very well be part of the anti-city establishment, maybe its just a case of good cop, bad cop and he has been told to play the role of the "good cop"

I’ve read some shit over the past two days but this is right up there in the Champions League places - if you’ll forgive the analogy.

was speaking to my mate yesterday who works on the DM , I said to him to say 'thank you' to Martin Samuel for his reporting on City. My mate said he is a really good journalist and a nice bloke...

If I ever see him outside the ground I’d pass on my thanks, and hopefully most other blues would do so too. My point with him is not that he is biased in our favour (it’s not true he is never critical of City), but that he is balanced and fair to us.

That’s if you choose to believe that our beautiful owners have never done anything wrong either. The rules are a joke but we’ve still broken them. The whole thing is rotten to the core but it’s a 2 way street in that some of our fans bury their heads where our owners are concerned and the media and other fans are the complete opposite.

Thanks for that Craig.

Pointing out our owners aren’t lovely people either just wadded! No problem.

How do you know they are not lovely people?

Forgive me here Craig but you're beginning to sound like you might just have an agenda of sorts to push here?

And there you have it. Presumption of guilt until proven innocent. The power of the press.
Not saying we have or haven't- but lots of people already know.

Craig tells us to stop presuming then goes on to presume himself.

Im going to ignore Craig from now on as i think he might have a bit of an agenda which is fine, but he must not expect me to play along with it.

No agenda but it seems highly unlikely we've done absolutely nothing wrong, we did accept a fine from them last time which suggests we'd done something wrong then. If we've done nothing wrong then hopefully when we take it further it's all proven and is kicked out. You were struggling because a journalist who has been very supportive of us in trying to explain what a sham FFP is dared to suggest we'd broken some of the rules set up to stop us mixing with the European elite.
 
A true journalist that actually investigates what he writing, not just what he’s being told.
Doesn’t follow the crowd and thinks for himself.

I agree. We’re as corrupt as anything else going on out there but the difference is we’re on our own doing it against a Cartel of other clubs along with the governing bodies and media who are all in it together against us.

But we are well dodgy behind the scenes!
