CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

[Tim of the Oak]

If City fans questioned the impartiality of the findings of the Hillsborough Inquest they'd doubtless be foaming at the mouth.

True and we know it wasn’t impartial because it included a line about Liverpool fans not having a reputation for hooliganism.

Why? Because her remit is covering, amongst other things, media and press relations, communications, and PR. I have NEVER ONCE heard or read of her robustly defending the club’s name, or rejecting the malicious falsehoods printed about our club. Not once. Given her role, and the seniority of it I find that scandalous. That’s why.

Yes I am sure she is happy to leave it to Khaldoon, or Ferran, or more likely to our coach, who said more in one press conference in defence of our club than our Head of Media, PR and Comms has done in a career of many years (forgive me for not knowing the exact job title, tbh it’s hard to tell what she does)

I've spoken to Gary Cooke on this matter and his take is that she does as she is told and its no good getting into a public fight with the press when they control what is printed, very similar to the stance Nike took in backing up Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods.
Its frustrating for us as fans having to constantly read and hear these snide remarks, but that is the way they want to play it

Only way to shut the media up is by obliterating the opposition on the pitch especially the nine cowards who wanted to put the boot in when we were down. We are never going to convince the plastic thick fuckers of the nine that we were cleared of the major wrongdoing completely. Just hope next season all the chances we have every game we stick away especially against these teams.

This.

We keep winning trophies, bringing in hundreds of millions in sponsorships and investments and winning the hearts of a lot of the young kids around these days. Kids are growing up with City being the number one, that reflects in the future. People keep banging on about our bad press and how its having an impact, I would love to know exactly where this impact is because all I am seeing us getting more and more powerful in the game and richer each year. God forbid we have Tony from Essex calling us "oily arabs and dirty cash" whilst he tucks into his burger and chips in his armchair watching the rags and reading the mail.

Imagine calling out Vicky Kloss as some sort of no mark and crap at her job, if that was the case Ferran/Khaldoon/HH would have acted. They haven't.

Not good enough for some on here though it seems.

Unfortunately that's the general attitude of too many people in this country, if you're charged with something it's not "innocent until proven guilty", it's "you must've done something". It's pathetic.

Have you read “Richer than God”? Conn is pitifully naive and therefore, in my eyes, lacking intelligence where it matters.

Do you know the name of the Head of Comms in any other.football club?

He’s selectively naive IMHO, when he was “shocked” to find out that Franny wanted to make money out of City.

Anyone else wondering how we have sent 5.5m emails in 10 years? Maths isn't my strong point but I make that 10000+ emails per week, every week for 10 years. Some people at the club really need to get some work done.

I think it’s was 5.5m emails AND documents.

I've got that at home and never read it, should I or not?

I wonder who told Colin;)

Some people only think you pass on transfer info
