Could you find out if it's true what @gordondaviesmoustache has been saying about Danny Mills.

On a serious note, great scoop mate. I hope he answers you honestly but have my doubts. I fear he'll use the interview to defend BT and to make out our complaints are unfounded.

That's what I am anticipating too so will frame the questions as much as possible to negate that. So for example any queries on Scholes/Ferdinand will surely be met with a reeling off of their CL experience and credentials. That to me is utterly irrelevent as there are countless other players who can offer CL 'insight' who aren't so associated with our rivals and therefore incapable of being objective.

That'll get fobbed off that it was a joke by Humphrey. The fact that JH truthfully said that they couldn't say anything nice is the point to focus on.

Exactly. The fact he could make the 'joke' at all is the issue.

I have an interview lined up with Simon Green tomorrow where he has agreed to discuss all of our grievances.

Let me know below any questions you want me to put to him.

I would ask him how many subscribers who are City fans BT have lost expressly because of the way they have covered City, especially in the Champions league. I would ask how much that has cost BT financially.

I would ask him whether he understands how fucking angry we are.

I would ask him if he has read this thread, and the others like it.

I would ask him to name one English club competing in Europe at any point since European football began in the 1950s whose treatment has been as shoddy at the hands of an English media outlet as City's treatment at the hands of BT has been.

I would ask him whether he thinks the relationship between BT and City's fans has irreparably broken down, and if not what he actually plans to do to fix it.

I would ask him who on earth actually, genuinely, really thought that Rio Ferdinand Michael Owen and Paul Scholes could possibly, conceivably, in a million years, ever offer fair and objective analysis of a City game, and if the answer is 'nobody did' why BT engage them to do so. I would ask him why nobody took any action when it became obvious that they couldn't. I would ask him why it took an entire season to work out that City fans who subscribe to BT were receiving a poor service from BT as a result.

I would ask him if he actually understands why we boo the UEFA anthem, and if he does ask him to summarise it. If he does actually know, I would ask him why none of the analysts or commentators do.

I would ask him why, after City qualified for the semi finals of the champions league one of their presenters said that we should be praised 'as hard as it is.' And if the answer is 'it was a joke because I was talking to Rio Ferdinand' why on earth BT should employ someone who finds it hard to give City praise as an analyst.

Even being associated with Utd wouldn't be the end of the world, if they were halfway competent.

Could you please ask him if the nasty snide comments by presenters are scripted or ad libbed.. One example was at half time with our away game at Dynamo Kiev when Lineker made a comment about him and the other pundits being exhausted making their way from one part of the studio to the other.. This was a direct reference to Pellegrini being unhappy about the FA cup tie away to Chelsea being played late Sunday afternoon just a few days earlier.

That saves me an evening of work ;)

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Pablo is a bit stern so I do sense imminent danger.

I think that flyer should be covered once again and definitely the continual use of United pundits who admit they want us to lose. Which is not do bad if there continual comments were in any way impartial

Not just the use of United pundits, but also "City" pundits, who have a stronger affinity with our enemies than they do with us (McPointyman - Liverpool, Hargreaves - Rags), and also those that actively hate us (Mills). We don't necessarily need ex-City players in there, although I'd be quite happy with Lakey or the Goat, just pundits who are genuinely impartial would do

Email him and ask him to read this whole thread before you meet and let him know you don't want to waste your time on a plastic/bullshit interview.

If he's not going to address the points just walk out on him.

Hargreaves is ok.

I don't think that the flyer thing is something to get bogged down in. He's already said that it was an agency who did that and acknowledged the problem, and if he sticks to that, then it just requires more QC from BT.
