Fuck him he deserves a bad day, and a bad night's sleep too

Not you Bored at...

That's from he tweeted "I think I'm having a beer tonight".

He's rattled to fuck. This was a bad career choice. The men won't hang him out to dry in public but behind the scenes they'll have a stern word I think

You've played a blinder tonight on Twitter mate. Fucking hilarious

Thanks mate. I feel a bit guilty now to be honest. He's had a really really bad day, you can tell.

But he has not really helped himself hope he learns something from this still not impressed with the MEN for letting it run, simply because it's not true

But hopefully learnt some important lessons which (if he's fortunate enough to keep his job ;) ) he'll benefit from. It's just unfortunate that I won't be reading them to check on his progress.

 

[Sigh]

Is the article still up on the website?

What have I done?

\/\/\/

Ahhhhhh...I laughed at that as I pictured the realization and the head in hands. Excellent :-) lol

The article is a piece of shit and, as someone has said previously, straight out of the Talksport wind-up textbook.

Please, if you have not already seen it, do not go on the M.E.N. website and do not buy the rubbish newspaper. We really need to start a campaign of boycotting this paper.

No sales, no clicks on the website. It will hurt them in the advertising and, with a bit of luck, hasten the end of a dying newspaper.

You, or someone with the know how, needs to post it on here so we can all be amused....

Cheers. Doesn't look like he's flapping to me, looks more like he's standing his ground. He probably picked a poor example with the Chelsea game. Plenty of Blues on here have criticised the number of empty seats at some games this season, especially in the family stand.

some empty seats in the family stand are to be expected. My boys are on the ST waiting list, they are 5 & 7, I got home at 11 pm on Monday and had they had season tickets they would have missed the match simply because it is too late for young kids, and I am sure lots of other parents of young Blues have acted similarly. Are the muen now publically endorsing young kids being out late at night on a school day, is this their official policy?

What I don't understand is why the MEN would write overly negative City and United stories. Surely their target audience is both sets of fans and they can write articles with constructed criticism and praise as well. Why on earth would a regional newspaper publish a snidey jibe of an article at one of their potential audiences? it is basic business to keep their readers on side.

If this is an article written to please the United audience then it says more about their fan base, that they need to criticise us rather than praise them to get them onside.

Because one of their journos is a fanzine-level young "Bantz"merchant without the savvy to let go his teenage club loyalties for the sake of his readership. And someone somewhere in editing is a fucking idiot who let this piece be published.

For me I have no issues with the paper writing critical articles about the club. The decision- makers should be accountable to those who holds the clubs best interests at heart and as fans we require an independent press to facilitate this.

Sometimes the truth is not neccessary easy reading and as fans we have to accept constructive criticism of the club.

What is inexcusable is the article appears agenda driven, is factually incorrect and highlights a complete lack of research by the author.

Also ive noticed the landscape of the argument is trying to be amended by the 'investigative' journalist responsible for this piece. Trying to deflect from the fact the articles main point is we cannot sell out the stadium to the author and the MEN are concerned by the number of no-shows at the game.

Factually the author did not have a clue:
A) The game was sold out
B) The capacity of the stadium is not 47,805 when segregation is considered.

Furthermore there was no mention of the season ticket waiting list to give the article balance nor any research into the frequency of games selling out at the Etihad.

That is why the article has little journalistic merit and reflects badly on the competency of the journalist responsible and raises questions why a local paper would run a story criticising the club and its fan base without underaking any proper research and with no justification.
