I dissagree, CSB haven't criticised her personally, they have just said they are disappointed to note that she is now a Chelsea fan. And have lost faith in her ability to represent them. Which is fair enough. It was her posting on social media her Chelsea allegiances that has caused the problem, they have just responded in kind. She has brought any just and fair criticism on herself by her own actions.That may well be the case, and if she's blagged her way into the job then she should be removed but like I've already said on this thread, how has she managed to blag it in the first place? She must've had other City fans vouch for her to get into that position and CSB probably had an input too, given it was for the LGBTQ+ post. CSB could've handled this matter in private rather than going after her on the most toxic social media platform, and they're rightly getting a lot of stick for that. Obviously, that won't be everyone associated with CSB who advocated whacking it on Twitter but whoever was behind that Tweet needs to have a word with themselves.
I assume she supports City's men's team and Chelsea's women's team. It might not be as uncommon as it sounds, y'know. I know a few people who live in Manchester and support and regularly attent the women's team but support other premier league men's teams.
Still, it probably does make the position hard a bit untenable.
Find the the "posted her pictures without permission" stuff a bit weird. They're obviously very publicly posted pictures, and one of them is from a fucking photoshoot.
This is why I'm so nonplussed about the whole episode. As @Tim of the Oak said, there have been some decent people on the CM committee but I've always felt that CM gets used by the club itself to push through controversial things and CM end up getting it in the neck from some fans as a result.
I saw the police rushing around thinking they were dealing with a terrorist incident or something. Pathetic again from gmp
Saw a lad get pulled at the Bayern match at the back of SSL1. Don’t know what for. Not going to speculate. Handcuffed. 7 Police officers in riot gear surrounding him, helmets, etc, not wearing them. Numerous stewards also in attendance. 2 women filling in paperwork, looking rather pleased with themselves. The Police then forced the lad into a narrow passage way that leads to the catering bar. Kept him there for quite a while, talking to him, then led him away.
Well, the picture posted is her at a women's game and the message posted upthread is her claiming she has supported the men's team since she moved to Manchester so there isn't zero evidence and I don't think it's a completely wild assumption to put two and two together here.There’s zero evidence to support or assume this position.

To be fair, Mark Todd is constantly on the City FB page helping fans re ticketing matters and more.
Well we'll have to agree to disagree on that - it encourages a pile-on and I'm not a fan of pile-ons, especially when you consider how many cunts there are on Twitter who will take it too far. CSB could've addressed it in private. Maybe they were pissed off because they've had the wool pulled over their eyes because no way she's popped up out of nowhere to get that gig. She'll need to have had a fair few blues to support her, and probably CSB too.I dissagree, CSB haven't criticised her personally, they have just said they are disappointed to note that she is now a Chelsea fan.

You’d have to be a total moron to not see it for what it is.This is why I'm so nonplussed about the whole episode.

Fully agree with this - Mark actively tries to identify issues from fans and gives feedback as to the clubs response.He's the only one you hear from and is great at his role.
It is an empty stadium with no game going on, just get the cheapest t-shirt in the shop and take a photo for the profile, don't even go to a game. It doesn't she doesn't say she supported the men's or women's teams just "always followed them" which is as vague as you can get.Well, the picture posted is her at a women's game and the message posted upthread is her claiming she has supported the men's team since she moved to Manchester so there isn't zero evidence and I don't think it's a completely wild assumption to put two and two together here.

I'm not defending anyone, just saying what is likely to have happened.It is an empty stadium with no game going on, just get the cheapest t-shirt in the shop and take a photo for the profile, don't even go to a game.

So to have an opinion about my MP I need to stand to be an MP? Don’t be so fucking stupidWhy don’t you put yourself forward?
The minutes issue is a strange one given we’re backing the government white paper, aren’t we in breach of the PL charter or something, Or am I making that up ? Sure I’ve read it somewhere, might be in the new proposalsHopefully Danny will get back to us with the answers to the questions he’s been asked by a few posters and turn the negative tide a bit.
The club really aren’t helping the City Matters Reps, which is true, as the last minutes were posted a year ago, even though the City Matters Reps have continually asked the club to post the minutes on the OS. That along with the continual confidential discussions, which can’t be mentioned outside the meetings. As it stands little or nothing is coming out of the meetings, and what is coming out of the meetings is heavily vetted by the club.
For City Matters to really work the club needs to change how they manage it and the City Matters Reps. I’m not holding my breath.
It’s this level of “auditing” how these people get brought in in the first place.
If I say I play for Real Madrid and I’m on 500k a week it doesn’t mean I do.
So how else would she have gotten the position then? I don't know the full process but I highly doubt that some randomer off the street could rock up without any back up from anyone and land the post.I take your point on a pile on but CSB have not done that. They have posted nothing personal. They are not accountable for the actions of others either.
You don't know how she got the CM position . Or how many fans if any supported her. Your just guessing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
What isnt guessing is deducing that she wasn't trueful when she applied. Do you think she would have got the job if she had said she also supported Chelsea in a similar role and liked to post publicly about it and did photo shoots for them?
Out of interest who do you think is mainly at fault here? You seem to have more of an issue with the CSB and the fact that that said they weren't happy with her representing them publicly compared to placing blame at her door.
