Hughes calls for clarity over Tevez row, MuEN block comments

[Damocles]

Oh so I have an agenda do I Mr Brennan?
The FACTS I quoted to you are based on my personal experience and that of many others I know - or are you calling me a liar?
I've noticed you've got nothing to say about the bias shown by your chief sports editor though.
You are further proof that having a reasonable conversation with a RAG is impossible.
MUEN - written for rags by rags, the sooner it goes under the better.

I'm not sure you really understand what those things are.

Basically the facts I quoted are that numerous comments I submitted on the MUEN website were blocked while rags were given carte blanche to write whatever they like.
That was my experience.

Do you UNDERSTAND that?

They aren't facts then are they? Facts aren't things that are based on your personal experiences, those are called opinions.

Erm, if my posts were blocked by the MUEN then this is a fact and not an opinion - or like Brennan are you also accusing me of lying?
If you have an experience it becomes something that has happened hence it becomes a fact.

Anyone looking for some form of co-ordinated conspiracy is wide of the mark. There are no meetings in smoke-filled rooms about how to form a strategy to 'stop these arabs ruining football.'

Seriously though, what do you think the UEFA FFP Regulations are all about?

Did the MUEN interview hughes or did they just print what he said elsewhere?

My take on all this - for what it's worth - and not being a reader of newspapers, including the MEN, is that all this 'anti City' coverage alluded to on here goes in one ear and out the other, ie., I couldn't care less. As for SB coming on here to give his side of the story, I think he is flogging an already dead horse. Don't read the papers folks, dead easy.

I think they are a misguided attempt by Platini to bring some financial discipline into the game which because of the power of the established clubs - the G14 I guess - could only be enabled if it didn't threaten their status.

The fact that it enhances their status is serendipitous for them, but I don't believe that was the original intention. To believe that we are the reason FFP was conceived of, is a little too far fetched for me.

In actual fact I don't see FFP being a threat to us at all, and on that basis it can only cement our position, as the drawbridge get pulled up on the likes of Spurs, Liverpool and possibly even Arsenal.

Have you kept a copy of any of the posts which were blocked?
If not, next time you have a comment blocked, copy it and put it on here and I will either give you my opinion of why it was blocked, or try to find out why it was blocked.

As I've said, the lad who allows or blocks comments is a Blue, and a genuine lad - and he has not had anyone tell him he has to be biased towards United, or anything else of that ilk.
Why would we do that? That is the question that the conpsiracy theorists consistently fail to answer - what could it possibly benefit the MEN to be anti-City?
We get no help from United, Fergie hates us and, as I said, my own coverage of the Glazer takeover made me persona non grata at Old Trafford, and caused us a lot of problems with United.<br /><br />-- Sun Oct 09, 2011 6:14 pm --<br /><br />

He wasn't interviewed by any of our staff. Without looking into it, I would guess he was interviewed by a Press Association reporter while he was at the Leaders in Football conference.
We subscribe to PA and will have got the story that way. It didn't go in the paper, just online - and the website basically runs just about every City and United story they can get their hands on, to keep the story count ticking over

Thanks Stuart.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

Has it been explained yet why the two pro-Tevez articles from last week had there comments blocked?

How much would veron's and camel's transfer be worth in todays market? Why not FFP then? Not far-fetched at all.
