Great post, and so true!Our PR/Comms strategy for the last 10 years has been the total opposite of what we should have done. We should have ensured that any false narratives were immediately challenged and corrected. That is way all large commercial organisations operate. United and Liverpool are much better at PR than us. Of course they are pushing against an open door with a friendly media but still they are much more proactive than us.
We haven't even properly promoted the fantastic investments Sheikh Mansour has brought to the city of Manchester itself. For example Khaldoon has done very few (if any) major interviews promoting our club yet he is a class act at public speaking.
Ferguson has probably threatened lack of hospitality at the toilet -either that or someone has been found out for nailing bingos wife.And the decision not to give a red card an absolute disgrace.
PiGMOL and their lackies can have no credibility whatsoever when tackles like this are not properly punished.
He won’t and never will get the credit for changing how teams play at every level of English football , or get the credit for what he’s done for City, we need the CL tbh , as much as I hate the competition it’s something we have to win , three in a row is the ultimate goal as it’s so hard to do , but for Peps sake in the hall of fame i hope we do it before he leaves.Great post, and so true!
I also get the feeling that Pep is increasingly becoming tired and frustrated with it all, watching some of his recent pre/post match interviews!
Me too!He won’t and never will get the credit for changing how teams play at every level of English football , or get the credit for what he’s done for City, we need the CL tbh , as much as I hate the competition it’s something we have to win , three in a row is the ultimate goal as it’s so hard to do , but for Peps sake in the hall of fame i hope we do it before he leaves.
The indulgence of Newcastle will come to a screeching halt as soon as they start winning trophies. Should they beat Stretford Celtic in the league cup final and deny them their first trophy in six years it will be open season on the Toon. F**k knows why but the media seem to want a similar situation to Scotland where two sides rotate the trophies and know one else is taken seriously. They will only be happy when rags and Liverpool emulate Celtic and Rangers. Ourselves and Chelsea will never be forgiven for upsetting the red apple cart.I think our meekness in letting these journos make unsubstantiated claims about us has not heped us. Rather take a lot of flack for having a go back. We are like the kid at school who gets bullied but just takes it. Starting to really piss me off. Especially as Newcastle will be praised for their 'deserved" investment!
Chelsea have been given a free ride mate , they’ve had nothing like the ridicule City have had , they , and the media forget they had a sugar daddy before Ra Ra Rasputin turned up.The indulgence of Newcastle will come to a screeching halt as soon as they start winning trophies.

Chelsea have been given a free ride , the media forget that they had a sugar daddy before Ra Ra Rasputin turned up , they’ve openly found a loophole this window with giving players 8 year contracts - can you imagine the bed wetting if that was us ? We are closer to home to the evil empire -and that’s a fact.The indulgence of Newcastle will come to a screeching halt as soon as they start winning trophies.

There are so many 'anomalies' with the game is officiated and governed that are totally at odds with the LotG that the whole system - VAR, referees, linos, refs in the studio - could in no way be called scrupulously impartial.And the decision not to give a red card an absolute disgrace.

Some cheats always seem to prosper - at least for a substantial amount of time.Two fantastic games today, anyone who didn't enjoy the Wrexham cup tie doesn't like footy. At Brighton proof cheats seldom prosper.
Bang on the money. Our PR has been and is totally abysmal since the takeover.Our PR/Comms strategy for the last 10 years has been the total opposite of what we should have done. We should have ensured that any false narratives were immediately challenged and corrected. That is way all large commercial organisations operate. United and Liverpool are much better at PR than us. Of course they are pushing against an open door with a friendly media but still they are much more proactive than us.
We haven't even properly promoted the fantastic investments Sheikh Mansour has brought to the city of Manchester itself. For example Khaldoon has done very few (if any) major interviews promoting our club yet he is a class act at public speaking.

All we seem to get is lots of social media activity (which is fine) but no strategic communications at all. I have always suspected there was a structural problem in our management set-up which meant it was very difficult to get things signed off. We are part of a huge organisation which has grown very rapidly and Khaldoon has a very broad remit.Definitely,
a before and after video of the area developed, jobs created.
Release the figures of funds paid to Mcr Council and therefore benefitting local residents and tax payers.
Tourism brought into the City.
The last is fucking endless yet all we hear is oil money and plastics.
Power and money makes you forget most things.Chelsea have been given a free ride , the media forget that they had a sugar daddy before Ra Ra Rasputin turned up , they’ve openly found a loophole this window with giving players 8 year contracts - can you imagine the bed wetting if that was us ?

100% we are and have been far too nice for far too long.I think our meekness in letting these journos make unsubstantiated claims about us has not heped us. Rather take a lot of flack for having a go back. We are like the kid at school who gets bullied but just takes it. Starting to really piss me off.

Was there that day !! Miserable performance like many others at that time !Not when we played there in the Cup in the Pearce era it wasn't - terrible day, not one shot on target in a 2-0 massacre.
