Bellamy In Bust Up With Mancini - (Merged)

[Kinky by name]

Re: bellers mancini on SSN

Mancini said he and "Greg" (haha, love the way he pronounces that!!) had a
meeting face-to-face in his office; but no falling out, no shouting, no dismissal from the squad, he trained today and is open for selection on Sunday!!

City should rip into The Sun and get a banning order on all tabloid papers to ever write a story about us ever again!! a shittin it scummy cockney Liverpool fan writing bollboks
to upset our squad!!

WANKERS!!

A few weeks ago several papers (ours included) were banned from Old Trafford for printing a Fergie quote in which he said that Tevez should have been sent off for the challenge in the first-leg of the cup game.

Fergie did say that and a rag PR guy (realising that it could be seen as controversial) said at the end that it was off the record and that it shouldn't be printed. It wasn't off the record, it was printed and several papers were then told to fuck off from the swamp.

We can and should do the same... I often wonder why we don't. Maybe sometimes our hand isn't so strong or maybe it's just a little inexperience.

Sorry for the delay, Damocles. Late night.
First of all (and I've said it bfore) I won't defend the press every time. Many journos make my flesh crawl and some of them do have axes to grind or a bit of an agenda but they are usually easy to spot. I tend only to react with gusto on here when civil servants and the like tell me in great detail how the print media works.

Right, my honest opinion. This story contains such particular and ridiculous statements that you literally wouldn't make it up, would you? If someone had instructed Custis or any other reporter make up a story about City or even if they had taken it upon themselves to cause a bit of mischief, the "get out and stay out for three months" line is just too ridiculous even for a fantasist. If you are going to make something up (and you are at liberty to say anything you want) you would make it more credible than that, wouldn't you? It's just too easy to be sued over such a ridiculous and gratuitous line which adds little credence to the story. You would only include such a peculiar line if somebody had said it to you.
Someone may well be making this story up Damocles, I agree... but it ain't Custis and I ain't defending him because I dislike him with a passion. This has clearly been dripped to Custis. It could be CB (or his agents/mates) to have a go at RM... it could be someone CB has fallen out with (all you really need is an affidavit off someone who is prepared to swear that the statement made is true) or any number of other interested parties. It could be a rag-supporting secretary.

This will cause trouble at the club and the management team and lawyers will be looking to attack this immediately if it is bollocks but be ready to see through any bluster and sabre-rattling. So they will probably phone the Sun and tell them to correct/retract the story. The Sun will say go away, we have our quotes from... whoever it is they spoke to. Upon hearing this City will either sue the bollocks off them (as they should and could easily do if it is untrue) or crawl away licking their wounds and wondering why the tight ship ain't as leak-proof as it should be.

So, though it pains me to say it, I think there may be something to this story either that or Custis has been led up the canoe and left without a paddle. I strongly doubt that he made this particular story up.

Please stop talking like that Kinky.

You've been on Bluemoon long enough, you know how the press works.

They have a monthly meeting to discuss ways they are going to fuck up City's chances of breaking the top 4. Then they all swear allegience to Alex Ferguson and go on their merry way.

I am not disputing any of that.

So do you think the club or Bellamy will sue for the "sent home for three months" line?

I honestly hope they do if it's wrong (all it takes is for both parties to deny it)... if they don't that may also tell you something.

I think what KBN is saying is that there is no smoke without fire...

I'm sure none of us will know the truth of what actually happened on Wednesday, but its fair to say that something happened...

Maybe so but it is just typical of that poor excuse of a newspaper to print mostly bollocks, i hope we sue the arse off 'em

Ok, looks like this has been put to bed somewhat. Still, the reports of players unhappy with Mancini's coaching methods concerns me a bit.

Re: Bellamy vs Mancini - which side are YOU on?

Ask yourselfs how BLUE NOSE would have handled the issue ..Bellamy legs would not have touched the office floor .This is one reason they win titles /cups and we have brought in Roberto to flow up in the same way. Low class bully boys such as this idiot are not wanted in a top class club ..bye bye Bellamy.

As I said, me too. I don't enjoy being the brunt of all the strong feeling against some of the less savoury aspects of my industry but I will say this; I remember getting a round robin legal warning regarding MR's video at the time the story broke (Ric and some of the mods can vouch for this). The story was strongly denied and the pin-stripes were huffing an puffing and threatening to sue the arse off everyone. Scary stuff but, sadly, the papers had the facts on that occasion and that's why they were not sued. Crap story I cannot deny, however, it wasn't untrue.
