If it was up to you would you ban the Sun newspaper from the Etihad?

No I wouldn't the club can't afford to get into a tit for tat relationship with the media, they have to rise above it. The reality is that whilst not being able to report from the Etihad would be a blow, the sad reality is that commercially it would have very little impact to the Sun but the negative response that would result in return from the hacks at the Sun would be more damaging to us.

Dont underestimate the commercial impact on City of driving a negative relationship with the Sun it's precisely why uber and Google are prepared to pay the evening standard millions for positive stories in the paper (that's another debate entirely) That demonstrates the power of the written word and it works both ways. Unfortunately there are just too many easily influenced minds out there...

We already have a negative relationship with the sun at fan level, there is not much they could do to influence fans opinion of the club, as for non blues, they regulary regurgitate bullshit about attendance, oil money etc, and so nothing they could make up next will change the perception tge press has created already, so fuck em.

I will be bining the copies of tgis rag when at ringway in a couple of weeks also
 
The sun reader is not the kind of person I talk too, intelligence is not high on there qualities, typically a rag, so my answer would be yes ban them we have nothing in commen with them or there readers.

I emailed the club's press office a couple of days ago (they wouldn't give me a number to call to speak to someone directly) asking what their comment was to the constant unjust vilification of Sterling. I also asked for their comments on the petition to ban the Sun, and its journalists, from Etihad Stadium.

No response. I doubt I'll get one either.

Well that,s a surprise(there getting wages for doing Fk-all)
 
In terms of vocabulary an ordinary person knows and uses circa 35,000 words.
Most people know and use circa 50,000 words
An educated person would know and use circa 75,000 words
On average the Sun Newspaper uses on average circa 8,000 - 11,000 words per edition.
It is literally a comic.
Don't even bother giving it the oxygen of publicity that it sets out to achieve.
Not worth wiping your arse on.

Could you share that email id here please, maybe if more of us got in contact.

Personally, I would say f**k them even otherwise just based on their Hillsborough coverage, no matter what we think of Liverpool fans.

The Sterling campaign is just more evidence they are a bunch of scumbags.

I think they'd ignore you as well.

I just don't think it's the answer. They have a part to play in sports coverage in this country and banning them would be counter-productive in the long term. Like every industry and every walk of life they have twats working for them but they also have a lot of decent people too. Marginalise them by all means as a way of "encouraging" them to play ball in terms of how they cover our Club, but banning them is not the answer in my view - doing so would create the sort of additional tension that they would thrive on.

But anyone buying their product or contributing in any way to their revenues is misguided at best. Editors will be called to account when the £'s bottom-line starts to suffer, but sadly not when City fans (and right-minded decent people) call them out for their disgusting treatment of Raheem Sterling. The answer is obvious then as far as our most effective way to react.
 
Banning the Scum will only play into their hands. Think about it. Headlines for them ‘We have been banned but we will stay say the truth’ ad infinitum. Just giving them more headlines. Best way to hit them is a) ignore them and b) stop buying the paper or clicking on their links or stories. They make their money from people reading their articles, nough said?

Trouble is ignoring them won't hurt them one bit but your right we can't ban them like we'd love because they're the type of bottom feeders that will go on an even bigger hunt to get a negative story. I suppose the best we can hope for is to sabotage the "free food " they get and give the scum bag a dose of the Gandji's revenge for a few days.
 
We could also pick and choose those journalists who we think are fair, they don’t have to be biased to us just fair, and give them some ‘inside’ information occasionally. Let the scum figure out why they aren’t getting it.

Good idea. No reason why we couldn't do this.

Our owner and Rupert are closer than you think... For the record, the Sun also went after Scott Sinclair's missus Helen Flanaghan when she stupidly posed with a gun - as others have stated - nothing more than it being commercially viable to their readership.

Disney buying Ruperts share in SKY, so Manchester City's ‘Disneyfication’ of football is just a quack away
