Media bias against City

[citymad]

Unless he bombs, we'd probably get our money back (or at least most of it) on Sterling if we sold him in a few years, so in effect he would have cost us practically nothing but wages. Schweinsteiger will have no resale value, so will cost them 14.4M plus wages. If he does well for us, his value may even increase.

No more than a 30 million pound player. I really hope this price doesn't prevent us from signing one or two more players because were really going to struggle if we get one or two injuries.

What if the two injuries are to the same player? We'll be alright then, won't we?

We'll see about that. Can't see his price having any impact on other signings.

Bias? Bollocks!
Bias implies an element of fairness in that both views are but but one is given prominence.
Most football journalists out there don't even try to put the City view in their scummy articles.
It's a feckin Agenda ladies and gentlemen.
Thats:
ADGENDA
not bias!

This is probably not the right thread - Mods move if you want - BUT whenever I click on the MUEN Man City page for news - always the banner headlines down the right hand side
are of stories about the RAGS. Like today 11 stories . I want to know if the same happens IF I clicked on the Rag page of the Muen. - would all the stories be under City banners.

Now I know some of you will say - click on the Rags and see. BUT I try to avoid anything to do with the Rags so I do not want to click on their Muen page.

A simple yes or no will suffice. Thanks.

It is laughable journalism. Has anyone bothered to look at our young signings this summer collectively and what it might mean in about 4-5 years? I haven't found anyone.

The media can hate all they like, the fact is the hearts and minds of the next generation of fans will be won by glory on the field not headlines off it and our owner knows this.

The media will eventually have to pander to our whims and our agenda as our supporter base grows and the relics who can only pen poison now will have to bend or break.

This thread?

Oxymoron

Usually I tune it out but this summer it's beginning to piss me off. Every player linked with us is yelled at whereas the scum ita "good piece" of business. You guys have a thicker skin than I do. I guess. F-ing ridiculous.

Didn't see them posting same headling when Utd paid out 10 million for Smalling

We could have an all English team and we would still have media bias

Unfortunately they no longer have the FFP to hit us with.
No obviously wrong misdemeanor that UEFA can justifiably claim we broke to enact their skewed laws.
We are actually profitable so how do they react ?

The usual ignore our financial success. Exaggerate our use of Sheikh M's money. Victimise our HG targets for disloyalty. Uefa ignore Aguero's PL scoring record.
Need I go on ?
Frankly they have run out of ammunition and the new season will force them to applaud our success so they attack while we have the chance.

I think this bias is definitely needed by the media generally to at least give them something to run that can hopefully improve their circulation / viewing figures during close season. Digital media is evolving faster than they can react so panic for circulation. Usual target City.

Bit of a yawn really but infuriating.

Very much like the Mckenzie signing, WHAT 250 thousand where city coming from, that was the cry in 1980, nothing changes in people's minds about city
