I suspect that whoever let this through will get a right bollocking tonight. And this kid might have written his last work experience piece. Stuart Brennan is not happy.

He writes a lot of stuff DD on various topics,not just on sport.He appears to be a jack of all trades but the fucking master of none.
I always stick up for SB as he often got it in the neck for his City articles,but fair play to him,irrespective of his allegiances,he always wrote positive stuff where it warranted it.After all the years of trying to get Blues fans to acknowledge this,what a kick in the bollocks this must be,hung out to be dry by one of his fucking own !!

What's Stuart had to say Dave?

Basically agreed with DD that it was laughable.

This is what "swathes of empty seats" looks like you scouse prick..

Because the attendance figures for every club in the UK reflect ticket purchases not actual attendances.

Just out of interest, did Spencer ever give the nod to a similar article when there were 30,000 empty seats at Old Trafford for United's game agsinst Newcastle in tbe COC?

I wrote in the MEN/Stuart Brennan thread and noted this fella.
He is not a pro at all and i would be embarrassed to call him a colleague., this was when he was going on TS and writting complete rubbish a couple of months back when utd were mid crash.

I would not be supprised if he encouraged the writer to do a nasty piece after hearing the man speak about us.

Your genuinley losing credit here M.E.N, no blue specs or owt here, this is just bad reporting on a new level to me beyond what you may see in a utd fan bloggers attempt.

Those pics are proper funny, the daft sod has gone through the crowd pics with exquisite attention to detail, like an art restorer giving the innitial eye over a new piece they have to work on :D

I wonder if Brennan has a straight long path in his offices where his anger march can gather decent momentum as he boots his bosses door of the hinge and begins with "whats this cunts game boss..."

Yes that is correct but by the same token The Rags have had plenty of only 60,000 gates over the past few years,something which GMP confirmed.

I think it's time for even it's most fervent supporter to accept that the paper is a rag run piece of suit. It should be avoided at all costs. Whether it be free handouts or just a quick click on line.

If nobody reads it even they will have no where to go with their obvious agenda.

I've seen some of the crap Peter Spencer puts on Twitter and for a so called journalist and sports editor he cannot spell , use capital letters , punctuate or even write in plain understandable English!!

also every single time he posts a link to a story it goes to the main front page of the MEN website rather than directly to the story!!!

a complete joke of a journalist irrespective of his allegancies

 

[lust overlord]

Stuart Brennan seems like a good guy trying to get City fans onside.
This sort of shit makes all his efforts a waste of time.
Maybe he should look for better employers.

yes - but every single seat was sold. As said already, not all season ticket holders can make Monday night 8 o'clock kick offs due to work, kids etc and not all let others use their tickets for the game.

The game was a sell out ages ago and city could have sold thousands more tickets for the game - his laughable viewpoint is that because there were a few empty seats then city shouldn't be expanding. What's worse is that the pictures are clearly taken when people are still coming in or have nipped out for a piss. It's an absolute disgrace of an article, especially from a Manchester paper - it's just like a shit thread on redcafe but no doubt it will end up as gospel in some mirror article over the next couple of days as well.
