Come to think of it where were the BBC during the grooming scandal, post office scandal, MPs expenses, banking scandal, scores of corruption cases and neglect of patients in multiple health trusts, the infected blood cases. They were lagging behind on all these stories which were broken by journalists with a lot less resources. why don’t they investigate what is happening in the UK outside the London bubble?

They were busy telling you to look elsewhere….

To be fair there is a lot of truth in that. The BBC seems to have stopped scrutinising the establishment (irrespective of its political persuasion). I am not an anti-vaccer but their distorted coverage of the Covid crisis really opened my eyes.

I’ve always felt there’s a reason the bbc hasn’t been sold if it’s worth £7 billion when it’s sold energy, telco, banking, rail & land yet TV & radio have been kept. You can’t put a price on propaganda.

They provide balance by allowing everyone to believe they are manipulating the opposite opinion of yours & they provide world class programs to keep you in.

They have become the establishment, even their drama shows push the narrative, bad guy = white male, victim/cop = Black/brown/female/disabled yadda yadda yadda

Fucking BBC and our old friend Shamoon have been at it again too.
The price was (officially I believe) £27m but a source at Burnley (probably the tea lady) has said it’s £30m plus add ons so it’s a record allegedly for a British keeper.

The way they frame is is a joke.
Instead of city sign a keeper for £27m or allegedly £30m it’s a fucking record amount.

Fuck off Shamoon and fuck off BBC

Noticed this also. Article goes on to say record fee for a British keeper.
Why we have not banned this Rag infested organisation baffles me.

Colin seems to get used as a pawn by the media.
He scored an OG at old trafford in 91, i was there with 30 other blues in the stretford end's C stand, yet amazingly they give the goal to some hairy bastard who once played at city's youth academy, and on the propaganda went.
Giggs is red through and through.... until he's in court for beating his missus up then he's an ex man city youth player.

Some of this is quite good. I don't give F365 the clicks anymore, but the bit I don't understand in the tables is - why exclude academy sales? Unless they actually mean sales of players who are still in the Academy (at the time of sale), rather than players who have come through the academy?

This is just something I put together from transfermarkt data, not from the 365's article on the stop spenders every season in the PL era. I didn't include the academy revenue because of the extra work for every team, given the window is still open. Plus, it needs converting to £s as well. That revenue is on two different U21 and U18 City club profiles and it needs adding because(as someone has already mentioned) it's over half a billion in revenue in the Pep era alone. The majority of that will be profit as well. Most sites are leaving this data out of their lists and I doubt that would be the case, if the cartel clubs were the ones generating that kind of revenue, with their acadamies.

BlueCityBrain, is normally the guy who's really into this stuff on twitter. So I might just leave it to him to do the in depth one. It was just an aside to the 365 article from feb this year. I'd never looked into that before, didn't expect to see some of those clubs on there.

“If Liverpool fc donated just 1% of their obscene £400,000,000 summer spend on mercenary footballers to their struggling neighbours Morecambe fc, a great grass roots club with a proud 105 years history, would stay alive, shame on Liverpool, a plague on their house”

I tried it on a HYC although I had to use an older non-related article as they either hasn't opened them up or had already closed them. Perhaps why it lasted around 10 hours :)
 
Man Utd have spent £130m in the transfer market so far. This morning, the football gossip strongly links them to moves for Sesko and Donnarumma. Meanwhile clubs like Villa, Newcastle etc appear hamstrung by PSR. Then consider that Man Utd accumulated pre-tax losses of £330m over the last set of 3 published accounts. Radcliffe reported that Man Utd redundancies and cost-cutting measures were required to prevent the club running out of cash by Jan 2025. And yet here we are, Man Utd spending as usual. And the media are silent.

Are you journalists, or are you sycophants?

The PL is facilitating the recovery of Man Utd through soft regulation and the media soft-soap this wheeling out academics like Kieran Maguire to approve the latest Premier League scams (Everton's sale of their women's club being the latest example).

City only mentioned in paragraph 2, from what I can see and it seems fair enough.

“The former Blackburn Rovers, Rangers and Manchester City defender, who led the national side at the 1998 World Cup, pleaded guilty to harassment without violence at Preston Magistrates Court.”

You really didn't need to ask that question did you ?

Our media are so deeply entrenched in keeping the rags relevent, despite the clear abuses of the PL's rules designed to keep the " lesser " clubs in check, that they will never report the obviously corrupt transgressions of the most hyped and favoured club.
