Club Statement re The Sun

[coleridge]

On Talksport yesterday afternoon, Hawksby and Jacobs were giving City shit about how our bid for Messi "was making the club look a laughing stock".... I e-mailed them pointing out that not one claim of this sort was made by City, and the source for the story had no link to City... even though he had an Arab sounding name!

I am yet to receive a reply. And they made no mention on air.

It will be interesting this afternoon, and I await an apology from them!

The even dafter thing is that my e-mail was directed to Bill Borrows...a former City fanzine editor!

At least you'd expect him to get off his corporate arse and ask questions of a Chelsea supporting City-hating nob head who keeps getting it wrong about City.

Bang on Soulboy

Andy Jacobs is now the reason that between 1 and 4 pm i catch up on the latest tunes on Radio1. He is a tosser of the highest order and everytime anything City is mentioned in any corner of the media, he not only highlights it, but completely ridicules it and disgards it as rubbish and 'it aint never going to happen'.

It started the day 'after' the ADUG takeover with him saying 'this is laughable, it wont go through, who in their right mind would put that sort of money into City etc etc. When the takeover officially went through, he never mentioned that he was completely wrong, instead he started the City will never get top players, never be anyone etc etc.

F*ckin wanker, really cant stand him.

P.S. Bill Burrows said on TS a couple of months ago RE: KAKA, that 'it doesnt feel right that City are making ridiculous bids for footballers, no matter who they are. And now he does that Talk shite on-line fanzine and it amazes me the amount of ridicule he allows the anti-city brigade to put in it.

I dont like him either..................... but not in the same way that i cant stand Jacobs, he is a true ****!!!

Cheltblue, my good friend, what you say is without merit. As for Billy Shears, you of all people should know what a true blue Billy is. He is a lifelong Blue [and his father before him, may god rest his soul] and is one of the most talented journalists in the country, with a superb mind to boot. He could quite easily have become a plastic Manc in London or a luvvie who's forgotten that he's a Northener.

In reality, he is a genuine City fan and family man, who is always a solid support to his mates. I've spent nearly 30 years going to City with him, most recently this Christmas. He can be extremely annoying but that is because he always attempts to challenge your views, as he should. You don't have to agree with him but at least have the courtesy of knowing him before you criticise.

On a lighter note, never get a taxi with him, as he never has any change, the fat tight arse gob shite.

"Dear Sirs,

During the show onThursday 05th March remarks were made regarding a 'story' published in the Sun newspaper relating to Manchester City Footblall Club making a bid for Lionel Messi.

The story published was unsubstantiated and an apology has been issued by the newspaper to the club and it's owners. I found the comments on the show regarding the club and this story to be offensive to me personally and to Manchester City. As this has now been documented to be false I request that a similar apology be made on the show or an acceptance that the story was indeed false. I will contact the club directly and forward the contents of this message. Should no apology or retraction of the derigatory comments be made I will request that the club seek to address this issue through any available options to them."

Everyone join in please, let's give it 'em back

There's a couple of sub paragraphs within the Sports section expressing apology. Can't post a link cause I can't find it on the Sun website. Noticed it this morning when looking through the red tops in Tescos.

must say it is more prominent and larger apology than i expected, about a third of column with very bold headline - much bigger than the usual sized apologies i have seen.

Seeing as they have admitted the lie in print we can now sue them & win without any problem.

City should take them for libel- The Sun will offer an out of court settlement. We should accept this money and give it to Christies.

HAHAHAHAHA, finally we are taking action against these wankers!!

Who wrote the original story? Please, please tell me it was Ian McGarry?

"We'll buy The Sun and burn it down, we'll buy The Sun and burn it down!"

If the memory serves correctly it was Gary Payne or something like that
