They do. You compare it to the national media. Huge differenceThe Road Sweeper said:MancAl said:stuart brennan said:The relationship between MEN and City changed the day the club vamped up the website.

Does a little bit doesn't it?
Now I'm not suggesting the MEN turns in to the equivilant of Pravda, but perhaps if the MEN "supported" the club with some positive articles, optimistic pieces, feel good stories or basically anything which demonstrated they were actually behind the club, then the club may recipricate when releasing news. At least the fans (the readership) would appreciate it.

Because it would mean taking responsibility. If they can post something unprofessional like that in the newspaper, they can sure as hell post an apology to go with it. A simple apology on a forum where a lot of match day blues don't read or venture upon doesn't count for much.[/quote
Be more impressed if he did the job he is paid for (instead of c/p other peoples work) He is in the city..he should be best pals with the PR people at city..getting inside stories that that are EXCLUSIVE to the MUEN.. then he wont need to get blamed for Printing crap...and if he does its HIS crap so no excuse.. Like has been said Before Peter Garner made a good living reporting on the club failing that city should employ a freelance a few Days a week and just feed them stories..

The professional solution would be to remove the article, post the proper information (which in this case would be a rebuttal of the Daily Mail hack job) and an apology - or at least an acknowledgment of wrong-doing.
Perhaps Mr. Brennan could put the issue of the "MUEN" moniker to bed, by posting a few instances of his employer reporting slanderous, or patently false and damagingly misleading information about Manchester United. I'd love to see actual evidence from a news outlet.
For a start, this didn't go in the newspaper at all - it was up on the website overnight, piut there by someone temporarily standing in for the sports website fella (we have a skeleton staff on a Sunday), and was taken down as soon as I and the regular sports website lad became fully aware of it.
It wasn't "slanderous" (when written, it is libellous, "slanderous" is only word of mouth), nor patently false, nor was it damaging, in any way.
And, of course, we try not to publish things that are slanderous etc, about any club - as I said, this was an error, made by one individual working on his own, under pressure. To ask us to come up with instances of writing "slanderous" things about United is just stupid.
Why would we knowingly libel United, or City, or anyone, when to do so costs you money?
You seem to think it was done deliberately, as part of some stupid agenda - if that's the case, why would we take it down, just because a few Blues moaned about it.
Some people are just so busy trying to fit things to their ridiculous MUEN agenda, that they can't see the fact of the matter.

Basically the article repeated what was in a National with an opinion that Pellegrini would prefer Foreign players and English players at the club would be taking a back seat.
The main agenda being that City are now ruining English Football.

They, the MEN reported yesterday that our "new manager to be" would not tolerate English Players" basically because they were NOT good enough.
However,the bottom line is that this original article appeared in the "Mail on Sunday".All the MEN did was report in their weekly news item under the heading "Gossip Column" and guess what ???????????????????????????? The fucking arse fell out of the OP who didn`t understand where the original article came from and what the context actually meant.
Some numpties to a penny,but at least SB from the MEN,once again had the balls to try and explain the problems and how it had occurred and the reasoning behind the so called article.
So,some fuckers got their knickers in a twist,over fuck all.No change there then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His articles are not the issue - it is everything else that goes in the paper - especially if they let the paperboy have access read / write access to the web site and the editor approves itSheeshKebab said:Tin hat on. I quite enjoy reading Stuart's pieces on City. I don't see why it's such a crime to be opinionated tbh. You either don't like something or you do.

The article only carried the word 'Gossip' about 3hrs after it first appeared on line on the MUEN site............. before then the word 'Gossip' was not there!

Yes I had noticed that you were one of the original "mard arses" At the end of the day you are trying to justify something that only appears IN that somwhat half a brain you have between them ears.
The original article came from where ??????????????????????????????????
The MEN reported it under what heading ??????????
Shall I update this in fucking Braille for you ????????????????????????????????
