Surprised Everton haven't shown some support given their ownership.

And Leicester.

I don't know why it get's to many of you lot on here, it's the same story every single week.
Liverpool sell news, hence why we're not as high on the media pages.
It would have been the same if we were playing tonight and had of won and united won or lost it's that simple.
Yes there is always a slight negative slant on our stories because largely who ever writes them won't have our best interests and they know that, which is also why they get more clicks and people talking from our side.
It's the same when we loose comments boards get opened up everywhere for people to see, but if we win comments boards are closed off to a select few straight away and that's when everyone wants to have their say or see what people are saying. It's to make it look like nobody cares. It's manipulation and control at it's finest and that's what the media do best.
Keeping the world spinning around and it won't ever stop.
We're all guilty of it somewhere on some level falling for it.
Bastards the lot of them.

The Matt Hughes FOR the Daily Mail byline makes me think he is not on staff. Perhaps a freelance?

He seems to be a Chief Sports Reporter there, so presumably staff.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

It's a good job they don't care about us and the Scouse cunts are their real rivals. Or vice versa depending on guilt.

I was wondering if it was a Scottish vote, but could be anyone. Very weird behaviour.

On the other hand, if it's that easy to fix, it suggests that not many people take part.

City have only one owner from Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Mansour 75 per cent). The others are from China and the USA.

Technically, City have just one legal owner, the British registered company CFG.
The shareholders in CFG might be considered beneficial owners of City, at a pinch.

 

[KS55]

Exactly this. Let the politicians and world leaders deal with the politics, and the club, team and fans enjoy the football. Journalists are just trailer trash and have no value whatsoever (apart from Martin Samuel).

Trailer trash should get the Glazers to house them, they have relevant experience.

Hmm. Staff Twat then

Or an emerging young English talent playing for his boyhood team came on and scored after recently starring for England U21's. If Palmer played for united he would be hyped up incredibly by the media....wouldnt be surprised if we start seeing articles about him needing to go on loan....forgetting Phil's route into the team.

Its a good thing for Palmer that the media are unlikely to mega hype him. Allows him to develop without being surrounded by bollocks.

 

[He’stheleftbackremember]

Jamie Jackson full of praise for City on Talksport this morning. Not even a single snide remark. What’s going on!

 

[Protein Junkie]

The BBC Gossip Column (aka Rag transfer gossip) has a copy of the back page of the Metro.
Liverpool’s win (fair enough), Rag Story, Newcastle Story.

He trains with the women’s team???

 

[exiled-blue]

The predictable Daily United.

I haven’t read the article. You can imagine what’s been written about City.

Note the highlighted small type in blue ‘Manchester City abstaining’, after the headline states ‘Manchester City voted in favour’. Make up your mind, Hughes, you c*nt!

You can imagine all the predictable comments by tomorrow.

Apparently it’s an exclusive by Matt Hughes. Really?!

It says every other club bar City and Newcastle voted in favour, not that we did. So going on to say we abstained is correct.
Also the Manchester City bit in blue is most likely a link to stuff about,, Manchester City. As is the Saudia Arabia bit most likely.

The related party sponsorship thingy interests me because contrary to the widely held belief that ALL our income comes direct from Abu Dhabi, my understanding is the Etihad deal brings in about 10% of our total income. City are now one of the most recognised clubs on the planet, whilst I assume it would be pretty easy to get a new club sponsor I also assume Sheikh Mansour is of the opinion fuck them, it’s my club, however, the simple measure of replacing our shirt sponsor with an unrelated party would blow away the myth that all our money comes Abu Dhabi.

Must have been his alter ego Jamie Paradise........... ;-)

I just watched invasion of the body snatchers, maybe a similar event has taken place, an empty shell Jamie Jackson would be immeasurably more intelligent. :)

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

It's a public vote for that.

I can only think that a bloc vote was organised and all voted him 10, as the average score is ludicrous.

It is the usual unprofessional shite we get from BBC online. The staff there seem to enjoy mocking their customers. It's just banter apparently.

 

[schfc6]

And the biggest hypocrites of them all Juventus with Jeep/Fiat!

Bayern too. Their biggest investors are also their biggest sponsors.

 

[schfc6]

What is it that they'd expose and why the hell didn't they expose it in the last few weeks when City played both off the park?

Wasn’t Touchel saying Lumpy was bollocksed and needs a rest. No Lumpy, no goals.

Liverpool have been doing a fine job of flat track bullying. But I’d wager we score more than them over the season.

Not to mention, they rely on 2 players for their goals. Again, how will they get on during AFCON?

We can cope with key players missing much easier, that’s why we go on huge winning streaks.

Before Covid got in the way, City appointed agents to find alternative shirt sponsors. The idea seemed to be to split the shirt off but keep the stadium name. City believe the Etihad sponsorship is below market rates, but I guess Etihad can't afford to increase it. The Etihad contract came to an end in June. Have we renewed for a year?
