The made up and rehashed story about Pep leaving on the day of the parade is spreading.

Obviously done on purpose to try and put a dampener on the parade. They really are red shill cunts!

Pep Guardiola may be in the midst of the celebrations of Manchester City's historic Treble, but he has seemingly set his leaving date already, as per reports.

"Setting your leaving date" also known as "the length of your contract".

Heard it all before, multiple times. It's just click bait.

Always found it weird we just tell pep here’s ten year deal you can leave when you want! For one it would make the media cry the other club chairmen cry it be so good..

All contracts of this kind have an end date which is technically a leaving date. It’s just pathetic but keeps the red shirts happy I suppose.

Another desperate attempt to appease and soothe the history boys.

Love it
 
Jordan may be slightly more articulate than most of the people on Talkshite but it's clear he hasn't even bothered to research the basic facts of the case. His opinions are based on the same old regurgitated lies. Has he even read the CAS judgement? It should be essential reading for anyone who wishes to have a serious debate about the issue. That would be my first question if I went on. If he hasn't, then despite claiming to be a serious commentator on the business of sport, he's no better than the rest of them.

None of this is true, for the many reasons I and others have explained, including @tolmie's hairdoo , who quite literally confirmed the information I was sharing about how blues contribute to sustaining the negative coverage of City.

In fact, my stance is literally based on logic; yours is the one seemingly based on emotion, with hyperbole unrelated to reality.

The thread is not going to be killed by not posting direct links to negative articles. Nor will more people quote articles verbatim. They will just be removed if some do, like they always have been (again, I can say that with confidence—as TH can about the inner workings of “new media”—given I spent many years doing just that as a mod).

And my post about the extreme detractors was about the likes of Delaney, for which blues likely make up a much larger portion of engagement than they think, you included. They craft their articles, videos, and podcasts specifically to outrage as many blues as possible, so they’ll rage-share with their networks, who rage-share with their networks, and so on.

Blues are much more likely to distribute the articles in disgust than the rival fans that hate us (the rivals fans simple read and comment they agree and discuss how City are cheaters), so we are becoming the main target for the divel because rage-sharing is where the real money is made (impressions trump comments for engagement metrics because of the way advertising revenue works).

Beyond that, why any blue would want to help sustain the negative coverage, in however a small way, is beyond my understanding. It doesn’t matter how large the contribution, why would you want to contribute at all?

As an ex moderator of a very feisty politics forum, believe me when I say, you don't know the difference between moderating a thread and policing it.

I didn’t mention Talksport, so that really wasn’t part of my argument.

Of course people posting endlessly on here about Talksport gives their editors the affirmation they need to carry on creating reactionary content. On that we are in complete agreement!

Again - I’m not really sure what point you’re making here. That you aren’t able to talk about posting links unless you also mention Talksport?

What about Sky Sports News? Neither of us mentioned them, so does that invalidate both our points?

But look - I said I’d leave it there in my last post. We don’t agree on this, and that’s cool.

Happy to pick up the conversation later if you’re interested.

Totally fair and I agree with a lot of that. I also responded to that before your earlier summing up post which was a good way to conclude it, so this wasn't re-opening the debate in any way btw.
