Media bias against City

[aguero93:20]

just read Herberts article on the Independent website
and then laughed my arse off at the first comment from some rag nob called CHRISTOPHER ARNFIELD BA, BSC

At risk of sounding like e broken record, City are spending sovereign Abu Dhabi money not their own. United are spending their own money which they have earned.
The definition by which Lance Armstrong was condemned to the cheat of the century applies equally to Manchester City. Someone who uses an outside substance or means to improve their ability beyond its natural level. Armstrong used drugs, City use sovereign funds from Abu Dhabi. United and Arsenal both spent decades building up their clubs, whilst the likes of City had a series of incompetent managers and chairman/owners who spent their money unwisely. Leeds were the same but they have not benefited from some billionaire owner laundering their country`s funds.

Clearly you ARE a stuck broken record Mr Arnfield - under the rules of FFP we cannot just tap the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Funds for money - we are a self sustaining profitable business! It is you United that are now relying on ridiculously inflated sponsorship deals (a 1.1 BILLION DOLLARS shirt deal??? FFS) to fund your ridiculous scattergun transfer policy

This is the media bias thread not the gobshite thread.

Nevermind the whole inconsistent addon treatment in terms of City vs Utd, Sky can't even get our sales right,

 

[pudge]

The Martial thing is unbelievable because you have the player himself - words out of his own mouth - using the 80m euro price tag! Yet our media refuses to include the add-ons in these lists they're making, while doing the opposite for our signings (except De Bruyne, which was all up front). They also include the add-ons for Firmino I think. Never doubt there is a heavy bias towards United in our media.

Depay's add ons are never taken into account either. Same goes for Shaw whenever I see that "most expensive teenagers" list

Yep. Firmino was an initial 21.3m.

Schneiderlin with add ons is 27m
Darmian - 14.7m
Depay - 31m

The Daily Mail is one of, if not the worst paper for City at the moment.

Their handling of the De Bruyne transfer has been terrible.

How we turned around the snub (today):

The rags signings turned up on horse & cart of course.

You can't ask for more than that.

Whilst over at the swamp, the knuckle dragging Salford's have reverted to type, they now all reckon we're trying to 'buy the league' again and that OUR reckless spending is ruining football............ Again! Well if that's the case, long may it continue!!

On another note, on Tuesday when news broke about Anthony whatisface having a medical, it was fuckin hilarious watching the Rags in my office pretending that they'd heard of him. One even accused me of making it up and to top it off one know it all claimed he'd known about Whatisface for ages, when I asked him where from I shit you not, he answered from FIFA and Football Manager!!! Bwhahahahahahahahaha

The media tide will turn Blues, just be patient, its already beginning to happen.

I just got back from vacation, and it's the first thing a Scum fan in my office said - "what happened to FFP? Spending like it's going out of fashion". So i sent him the link below. This is from July, so you can add Otamendi and KDB for us; and Martial for them. This would take us to 279m over 5 years and them to 323m. And that doesn't include the loans of Jovetic and Dzeko that will likely results in sales. He replied "yes, but that's because we blew money on DiMaria". To which I responded: "that's exactly the point. It's not what you spend, but who you spend it on".

The definition by which Lance Armstrong was condemned to the cheat of the century applies equally to Manchester City. Someone who uses an outside substance or means to improve their ability beyond its natural level. Armstrong used drugs, City use sovereign funds from Abu Dhabi. United and Arsenal both spent decades building up their clubs, whilst the likes of City had a series of incompetent managers and chairman/owners who spent their money unwisely. Leeds were the same but they have not benefited from some billionaire owner laundering their country`s funds.

It's a shame he never took Finance 101, which teaches you the difference between debt and equity. Equity is ownership. Debt is you beholden to someone else who can cut off your balls.

I have nothing but unbridled contempt for wankers that place letters after their name in such a way. It's the absolute height of hubris and insecurity combined. Sad ****.
