Just so much inflammatory nonsense that just didn't need saying.

Stuart, do you still believe the MUEN is fair and objective? This is a classic example of what I mean.

"Maybe Mancini could do worse than heed a lesson from across town. Sir Alex Ferguson’s Glaswegian accent may never have left him but Fergie’s message is always crystal clear and understood"

Except by Rio that is. This article would be ridiculous at any time, but less than 10 days after Rio openly disobeying him leaves me speechless.

To deal with the Dzeko/Balotelli story - how is it an attempt to de-stabilise them? They don't give a toss what people write. And the fact is that City WERE definitely prepared to sell Dzeko if the right offer came in, and a big-money offer for Balotelli would also have been seriously considered.
Dzeko and Balotelli did not cover themselves in glory at that time, so your idea of "objective" appears to mean biased towards City. Look back at this foirum at that time, and you will find plenty of peoploe unhappy at Dzeko and Balotelli - or are they also pursuing an anti-City agenda of some kind?
I have criticised aspects of what City do in the past, and will continue to do so. But I always try to be straight and constructive, rather than exaggerate

As for Neil Leigh's piece, it is written in a weekly column intended to be provocative and strong - there have been pieces in it which have commented on problems at United as well.
Don't hide your head in the sand - what Richards said DID reveal a problem. No-one at City has denied that - what they got angry at was the national papers' suggestion that there was mutiny afoot.
Neil's take on it is fair comment, if you ask me, even if I don't entirely agree with him

Notice the Rugby Hack dodged the "integrity"issue,must be leaving it for andy mitten to cover in his next City article,seriously.

Sorry Stu, but Neil Leigh's article is just rubbish. Ferguson bans journalists from his press conferences and refuses to answer certain questions. It's just a cheap shot.

If the MEN wanted to write and provocative and strong piece they could look at the refereeing of Manchester United matches which is what All local football fans are talking about at the moment, but then you'd probably twist that as well.

This is an unfortunate choice of words used to defend yourself when this debate is based on the fact that a player had openly showed that he does care about what is written in the press. To say players 'don't give a toss' displays a severe misunderstanding of human nature, and maybe betrays the mindset of the hardened journalist.

As for Neil's piece, provocative and strong, but lacking that thing Vincent Kompany highlights - accuracy. See the point made about Ferdinand by a recent poster.

I would agree with Marvin. I feel that Neil's article is cheap shoddy effort at being provocative pure and simple.It could not appear more biased if it tried and it certainly doesn't belong in the MEN.
