They have succeeded spectacularly at causing us reputational damage.
Our club, team, fanbase and achievements on the pitch have all been seriously tarnished
by the orchestrated media agenda and campaign against us. That much is for sure.
However, for all of our briefings, I am honestly struggling to
think when I last read, heard or saw anything positive about City
in the media, apart from the two recent 'exclusive' interviews with
Haaland & Ake given to the fanboy rag sportswriter James Ducker
in the Telegraph by the club. I really am.

That's a very UK-centric point of view, understandably. But, internationally, the club has never been stronger, growing year on year. Hardly a mention of the allegations.

I get that it can be depressing hearing about it every day in the UK, but the club is winning when and where it matters. Keep the faith.

Being ignored is their way of giving us anything positive these days.
Achievements, winning games, great goals or records being broken are just ignored for a short while until they unleash the bile and hatred again.
I'm 55 and can't ever remember a sporting club being detested like we are from the media and I mean all the media outlets, BBC Sly TNT the fucking lot.

A small example of what you're talking about Kippax is the games this weekend.

City V Newcastle a bona fide classic, ebbing and flowing, 5 great goals, and a last minute winner by a boy Blue.

'nited V spurs, utterly outplayed at home by a manifestly weakened spurs team, guess which one the venals decided was the pick of the week?

There is no doubt that the 3 red arse cheeks use their malign influence and tame dogs to always put themselves in the best light. Unfortunately big bad City are better than them in on field success and increased revenue. Hence the shit throwing that's been going on since Roberto. We shall overcome!

I do hope you're right pal.
The shit thing is if we do beat them, it will feel as good as winning the treble again and it shouldn't come close, but that is how the twats have drained me with their onslaught.
Shouldn't feel the anger I feel for them at my age but I'm a blue and it cuts deep.

It's extraordinary that Sky for one still have this as a headline online, despite the fact that the headline is the full story as no date has been given. Are they really that short of stories?

He ignores us to write constantly about his beloved Rags yet cannot wait to write anything negative about us.
Why has the club not fucked him off yet and banned him, its a joke he and the BBC are allowed access to the ground

It ain't working. I'd love the Club to say put what you have before a tribunal now. Any funny business and we'll pull you through the Courts and take you to the cleaners for damages to our business reputation.

The thing is to take legal action City would have to show that whatever is being said is categorically untrue (we have to wait for the decision first) and that it has damaged our business reputation.

We're treble winners, going for 4 PL wins in a row, posting record profits and the most watched team in many areas of the world.

Whatever the cunts say in the media/social media... it isn't working on us.

Tbh I wouldn’t mind if the napalm faced wanker worked for SKY or TNT or uncle tom cobbly, it’s the fact he works for a public funded organisation who’s remit and obligation is to be fair and objective. This slimey bastard uses our money to launch smear campaigns against us whilst churning out thinly veiled propaganda for that shit stain of a club in Trafford. If I ever bumped into him I would twat him no doubt about it.

My nephew and myself were in France before crimbo. We saw a local bloke with a City shirt on, . We went up to the local ski resort into a sport bar and the owner was all to happy to put on City for us . In our ridiculous French we said we are back over in Feb for the month. So he was happy. Much to our delight he bought us a free pint each. Driving home we get pulled by the armed police. Van gets sniffer dog searched but the 2 coppers that was stood with my nephew having a good crack about City. No fucker cares they only see the great players we have the way we play football, Pep and the onunce of Charlie I had up my arse. . Oh how I laughed spending Christmas with Papillion.

Hate to say it, but the Athletic have been pretty even-handed about this, explaining why these routine PSR cases are different to ours.

There is an undercurrent of anti-PL feeling in all the other articles which makes me more suspicious about press motives than some cheap shots at City.

Now, who benefits from the PL losing some of its sparkle, I wonder?

The anti-PL agenda is really bizarre.

I have no particular love for them, people on here understandably dislike them because of the FFP dispute.

There’s really no reason for your average fan to hate the PL. people will reply to this with a laundry list of things and I’m confident 99% of them will be things Masters has no power to change, or explicitly isn’t allowed one.

Today I’ve seen people angry at masters for

- The process being too slow.
- the process being too fast.
- The process not being specific enough, even though it was the clubs not PL management who made that decision.
- Colluding with City to quash the 115 charges.
-Colluding with “reds” to create the 115 charges.
- FFP existing (brought in by the clubs 5 years before Masters joined)
- FFP unravelling
- Enforcing rules
- Not enforcing rules
- Commenting on a confidential arbitration.
- Not being allowed to speak about the same confidential arbitration.
- VAR (literally nothing to do with him)
