Media Discussion - 2023/24

[Chris in London]

They do waiver between saying Mansour owns the club, but then talking about state ownership from the UAE, but then who doesn't?

Who doesn't?

Would that be 'anyone who knows what they're talking about'?

What the hell was FP doing with the power tool ? It’s all an act but he’s still funny to watch!

Yeah well freaky that....thought he was gonna drill his Fred the Red to the wall..lol..

I don't know. I have never met anyone from the press like that .....

Edit: This got me thinking of the post below by @Damocles a couple of years ago. An interesting and thought provoking piece and for those reasons, at least, one of the best posts ever on BM. I'm not sure if he has had the opportunity to update his thoughts, but anyone who hasn't read this and, in particular, any journalists reading this (I know you are here) check it out and ask yourself why you have never addressed the issue like this. There is still time. You may even be on the right side of history.

I certainly wont be listening to it but here's the link to the episode.

The Global Story - How Man City’s business model is transforming football - BBC Sounds

City Football Group’s global empire is setting a trend of buying multiple clubs

www.bbc.co.uk

I've noticed they've changed the title of this episode. Wonder why they didn't stick with the City being a threat to football title?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Maybe, but if England win?…ah forget it…:)

Joking aside, if England actually do win with a Manchester City superstar then we will be in uncharted waters media wise.

And Jackie will be out with a liver transplant.

[brazilians hurt]

Real Madrid after Phil apparently, like he’d go there. Not like the media to print unsubstantiated bollocks in the midweek before a big match

Yeah apparently Haaland has requested RM sign Phil to carry his bags

I listened to it so nobody else has to. It was just a high-level look at multi-club ownership with a bit of a look at women's football (for some reason), all aimed at people who don't know much.

Wasn't a hit job at all but a lot of soul-searching about the place of "feeder" clubs not helped by a quote from someone at CFG saying that clubs need to "know their place" in the hierarchy. Imo, fandom is complicated and can't really he generalised or summarised by two talking heads in five minutes, but it's a point worth discussing I guess.

Personally, the CFG leaves me cold. It's a consultants' wet dream but I am not sure there are huge benefits to the club I actually support that couldn't be achieved more traditionally, tbh. But I am old and tired :)

Edit: They do waiver between saying Mansour owns the club, but then talking about state ownership from the UAE, but then who doesn't? And they keep saying City own load of clubs when we all know all the clubs are owned by the CFG. Not accurate, but journalistic licence, I suppose.

Thanks for posting. I think the globalisation of football is inevitable.It has happened in all other walks of life and has been driven by technology. Football is almost like some sort of new world religion. I have no idea where this will all end but at least the club we all support is currently top of the tree. I understand how you feel about CFG but I suppose, as a long term supporter, I am happy to continue on the rollercoaster for now. As the saying goes most of us don't have a choice. Following City is a life sentence with no parole!

Been forwarded this image by a colleague. Seem to be missing a bunch of players in there from the past. A deliberate attempt to delete our history or lazy journalists?

Football was invented in 1992, where have you been!

I thought that was what they'd done at first but then Dennis Tueart has snuck in somehow.

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

I watched it as far as about the first 15 seconds and bailed.

My reaction, VERY impressive Gundam model in the mental Japanese guy's padded playroom.

No idea why this sort of fan channel shit is even "a thing".

They've got The Goat on 99 goals......

Going to assume it's a poor attempt at wummery by a Rag somewhere, given Shaun's 100th City goal was in the 3-1 derby, the same game where his 99th goal involved a future Sky Sports pundit getting embarrassed.

Jealousy and racism will never die, and even if (when!?) we're acquitted of the charges, social media will keep the accusations alive so that clever investigative journalists (like Simon Stone!) can keep putting out their clickbait.

If it all fell to pieces tomorrow, I can live off the Aguero moment for the rest of my life - everything else in the dozen years that followed has been luscious icing on the delicious cake.

He is very funny. “Foden you bowl-headed ****!”

Oddly, it seems to be from the transfermarkt site. I've no certainty as to why it's showing what it does.

Manchester City - Record goal scorers (Detailed view)

In dieser detaillierten Statistik werden die torgefährlichsten Spieler des Vereins Man City angezeigt. Für eine detaillierte Suche stehen die Parameter „Wettbewerb“, „Position“ und „Detailposition“ zur Verfügung.

www.transfermarkt.co.uk

Presumably it's just drawn from whatever data is in their database and many past players aren't listed.

 

[Gundoggin]

Wow my post got taken down ????
Tell it how it really is and it’s gone ????
Is this fucking China ffs !!!

Thanks for the messages etc lads .
Apparently factual truth in any media discussion is irrelevant and media spocks with covert user names have complained about the word Pikey and pink shorts !
What a world we live in and what a place this is, it could and should be so much better !
Bollocks to posting on here for while they are other relevant platforms.
