This is a shocker from the MUEN. Even called us 'boring' in the 1st half against Spuds. Shocker if an article from a Manchester newspaper.

Courts ? They make it sound like City are in the high court instead stead of a jumped up fucking kangaroo Court.

You can just imagine sky sports ignoring the trophy lift of whichever club wins by switching over to the Liverpool game for 45 minutes of Klopp thumping his chest and a heartfelt tribute to his historic tenure where the average position of his club was 3rd/4th.

The **** isn't worthy of polishing Bob Paisley's shoes

Currently in Thessaloniki for a few days and there’s a marked difference in the response to “we’re from Manchester”. It’s met with “City or United?” now not just the assumption that everyone from Manchester is a rag. First young guy I spoke to at the hotel likes City because of Erling Haaland.

Went there when we played Aris. Lovely city around the central gardens area. We his in a bar off the beaten track for the 2 days we were there and were looked after by the bar owner. Locals were a bit feisty though.

Just read the article and it's appalling from every angle, City should sue the cunts they went over the remit to explain and into pure fantasy.

That isn't a Manchester paper anymore.

This, it seems we need to send another letter out. That's disgraceful from a supposed Manchester based paper. They should be banned from ever stepping foot near the Etihad.

Jesus, Liew having a go at Spurs and Postecoglou now. I am no fan of Spurs but any neutral must be able to see them moving in the right direction, surely?

I am not sure what these football journalists see in the sport they are supposedly reporting on.

I'm never quite sure how to pronounce Liew

Is it "low" as in how low could he stoop with his obsessive desire to lie and belittle every single City achievement?

Or is it "Loo" as in Guardian shithouse?

I think that's exactly the reason why Robbie Earle in particular is so good on the US feed I occasionally stream. I can only think of him as a Dons player but he is analytical and objective gives real insight, that you'll never get from the legion of ex redshirt idiots here.

I've said before when listening to the City app Andy Morrison and Michael Brown are excellent in this regard, certainly don't have blue tinted glasses on, makes their commentary much more interesting.

There was a mad thread on here a week or two before about 1970s celebrities on a sports show. Apparently the City one was Kenny Cockney Lynch! But I'm sure I read football commentator Brian Moore was on the show, his club was spurs. In those days most commentators were Londoncentric definitely had a "big club" bias but weren't sneering towards the less successful. I genuinely think Barry Davies who was apparently another spurs man, was my favourite commentator. He was no Robyn cowen!

Brian Moore's club was Gillingham

And they have been highly successful - unfortunately.
The '115' moniker is now effectively a brand. I doubt
there is a football fan in England, who when they see, hear or
reads '115' doesn't associate it with us. The smear campaign
has been a big victory for them. No use us denying it. It's
happened and we are now for ever tainted as cheats
regardless of the outcome of the investigation.
Mission accomplished on that one.

IMO the only “failure” of Sheikh Mansour’s ownership has been a very naive approach to vitriolic media coverage and not building a positive public image of the club. Once Garry Cook departed, we had a senior leadership team who were outsiders to the local media scene and the tight networks of pundits, “journalists” and commentators - who were skilfully mobilised against us by our rivals. We stood aloof focusing on our plan while they systematically trashed our reputation. Everything else the club has done has been superb, but this has been a clear mistake.
It’s not too late, a good PR agency and media relations/public image team could repair most of the damage done. The point when we are cleared of these ridiculous charges would be the perfect place to start the turn-around.

Top post.
Absolutely bang on. As you say, it's never to late to start, but we are attempting to come from a very long way back.
 
It's getting silly now. The amount of stuff coming out since the win at Spuds around the charges is 100% orchestrated.

Mind you, this hairy 'daughters best mate shag nasty' is punchable at the best of times......

We were doing okay in the early days, “Welcome to Manchester”, getting under Fergie’s skin, “noisy neighbours” & all that. Blue Moon Rising. Classic “challenger brand” stuff !
Then we just stopped and our enemies have had a fucking field day.

Too late mate, they could do to the rest of Manchester what they’ve done for the East, and the focus on the likes of BBC would still be about how x club have excelled in their community work by installing a f#cking single wheelchair access ramp

The hairy **** just reads an auto cue. He hasn’t the intelligence to work out the charges himself.
 
Ive said it before and ive said it again ALL these people from de looney, harris, keys et al are speaking into a void, they know their audience and they play to it all they can, they cant be objective because their audience doesnt want objectivity, they want to be told that its all big bad citys fault and they must be cheating because it cant possibly be that the rags, dippers etc just arent good enough, their minds would take that, they are to all intents and purposes the andrew tate of journalism and punditry, they have their audience which generally consists of wastes of space who blame their lives on everybody else instead of taking any kind of accountability and they will flog them for everything they can.
