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

I avoid anyone who reads the Sun.

I KNOW we would have nothing in common.

I would rather hammer my thingy to a bit of 4 by 4 using a rancid, rusty nail than listen to the views of a Sun reader.

But I don't think City should lower themselves down into cesspit the Sun wallows in by banning them from the Etihad.

who actually likes the sun ?

Is there a football fan that says yes great paper that, always sing our praises.

its one of those papers thats full of shit.
 
Whatever their motivation, appeasing disgruntled Scousers, pandering to the anti City/Abu Dhabi narrative or the perceived white, working class prejudices there is definitely an orchestrated campaign by The Sun to portray Sterling in the worst possible way at every possible opportunity. That isn't the result of some lone, rogue journalist going 'off script', its a conscious business decision taken by senior management and sanctioned by the owners and, as such, needs addressing with the seriousness it warrants. If, as Martin Samuel says, our club's media department is far more active than we imagine then I'm sure they are looking at the possible courses of action as we speak. In terms of Sky Sports News and their selective editing of Sterling's tweet I can't see how that can be anything other than libellous and I hope the club go after them in the most public fashion starting with an official statement in support of Raheem and condemning Sky for their distortion of the facts. Same with The Sun, condemn them loudly and publicly and, for me, start off with banning that fat, odious little f***er Custis.

Yes I would.
Mentioning Sterling in an unrelated knife crime report should be the final straw for City too. Enough is enough.

Yes. They crossed a red line there. Should be banned until the end of the year at least but I doubt if we have the balls to do it. However, if I was Raheem
I would ask my legal representative to take a very close look at that particular report. It was vile and disgusting in equal measure.
 
No. Haven't you learned anything? It isn't the City way. We behave with class, style and decency in all of our engagements in the outside world.

If you think we get bad press now, wait until you see what it would be like if we start getting peevish with the press.
 
Don't ban the Sun. Just give anyone from that cesspoit of a paper a different catering experience from the rest of the journos. i.e. Stale potted meat butties with the ends curling up, overripe bananas and other fruit, stale rock cakes (potential toothbreakers) and a lukewarm 3rd time used teabag cuppa. That'll fuck Jabba Custis off big time if nothing else.

That's what I've been saying for years
Treat the hacks like they treat us
 
Shouldnt ban them, just make them buy their own tickets. Might change their tune a bit after a couple of matches sat in the south stand
 
If I was the Shiek not only would I ban any of the ****s who worked there in the past or indeed in the future; I’d buy Murdock out and shut all of the Publications down.
 
I wonder if we can get raheem into the first press conference of the season and when the sun ask him a question he can refuse to answer it like balo did when he signed for Milan and tell them why
 
Those who read this paper already hold the views they publish otherwise a more intelligent readership would simply stop reading ie buying it..
My point is they are not being educated by the paper simply being fed stuff they will pay to read.
The world is full of skewed opinion but few are gullible enough to pay for it.
 
I dont read the sun, but have seen the report of their lies on Football 365, mediawatch. You should read it. Its is an appaling assassination. They say Raz epitomises the moral decay of football. And his quote " I vowed never to touch a gun" is turned into "I vowed never to touch a gun ...again". Then theres a whole lot about his late dad's death, which is just made up.
The answer now is to sue on the claim that he is morally degenerate.
Dont ban the Sun, that never works. Instead, at Peps next presser, the press officer should ask anyone there for the Sun to stand up and justify what is happening.
 
I would take the piss, when sun reporters arrived they would be told to wear a conical shaped hat with a word on it beginning with "D". Failure to adhere would result in the person being denied admittance to our stadium. Stuff like with the grub, single the sun person out loudly and state "there is a greggs across the road mate" before letting the others dig in and walking off with a wink. Make it very clear we think they are dicks basically with comical and slightly demeaning actions towards them.

Certainly i would set it so the sun reporters were always on the edge of the seating or away from the main throng just to create that division where others could have a quiet laugh without them fully knowing what the others are saying about them. I would want every single member of staff to look at them like they were shit on your shoe as they walked past any sun staff and their press badge to state clearly they are from the sun.

Let their reporters feel singled out (not unfairly in this case though) and see how they like it.
 
Surely it would be hypocritical to ban the Sun but still keep on taking Sky's money and I've said the same about Liverpool

As for Sky's "again" addition to Sterling's reply. I would instruct the players and Pep, under no circumstances give them an interview or answer any questions except where we are contractually obliged (directly after a game they have televised) until they apologise properly and donate to CITC
