Sky Sports News , BBC Sports and Talk Sport all have broadcasting contracts with the PL. They will bury this latest story .They will never be impartial and can be viewed as client media . They appeal to different audiences with versions of the same message, favouring the Old Guard . It's one big gravy train for all those in power and they need to keep fans onside . While other teams get negative stories about their performances City have endured negative press on a much wider scale for over a decade culminating in the allegations of widespread fraud over years . This is the top trump of a media story and we have been judged as guilty from Day One as the proceeding negative press ( no history , no fans , time barred , sports washing , oil money, plastic fans , cost of the bench ) prepared the soil . If there wasn't such media bias we could have expected an in depth analysis of the CAS findings and a wider assessment of FFP / PSR from the legal perspective but explaining it in a way that keeps it simple . Oh and deep dives into the finances , owners and histories of other clubs and their shenanigans After all they have the journalists to do it . But instead we have sports journalists buying into the myths , their passions , prejudices and their pockets giving them away . Punditry is nothing more than an amplification of the same biases and those pundits let off the leash , most recently Ian Wright , quickly show their true colours . It's very interesting that The Times and The Mail are no longer on message . Something may have shifted . But I don't imagine for a minute that the Cartel will give up without a big , dirty fight . They've already shown they are prepared to break the law and will use every lever that have to tarnish the most successful club in recent history .
I find it ironic that at the time the PL was formed the Football League was characterised by the cartel as incompetent .Who is incompetent now ?
