Media bias against City

I suppose a lot of the bias comes from the reporters supporting clubs other than City. I don't think they know how to handle it. Pre 2008 it was the Chelski, Utd, Arse & Liverpool love in every season for 20 years. There was a Spurs or Everton (in the top 4) thrown in once a decade to give everyone else hope but it really was the 'Animal Farm' of football led by Sir Taggart the loudest & boldest of the pigs brigade. We get the odd article nowadays that is both intelligent and impartial but it was an old boys club that City broke up and football is far better for it.

How so? City kicking Liverpool out of the top four is change yes, but I see no "football is far better for it" effect. All that's changed is we're one of the old boys now, if not yet respected and loved by others at the top table. This season Chelsea imploding leaves another spot open in the top four and Utd slipping down the league might well result in another slot opening up, but their demise is not directly linked to our rise. Leicester winning the league, now that would be seismic, but the rise of City as a positive change for the league? I can't see it.

We kid ourselves if we think we've changed football for the better, we've done nothing of the sort, we've just changed our football for the better. Maybe the other clubs might have to invest more in their football infrastructure, academies and so on to keep up with us, but apart from that we've not shaken up much in the Premier League beyond going from everyone's second favourite team to being one of the most hated and for that you can blame the media.

Don't upset yourself. We want Giggs installed. That would be the best outcome.
The more positives he gets, the better.

Now worries, i understand. Just as long as you are onboard with the "Giggs for next manager",
as it looks like Save Our Turtle/Louis has hit deep doo doo ;-)

I think the evidence of this season demonstrates you're wrong. I believe we prevented the established big 4 ossifying ad infinitum.
 
Bitter bastard journos on Talkshite.

Ashton et al dismissing pep joining city. For balance they are also up Bryan Riggs Arse talking about TT being sacked asap.

Premier league prize money eclipsing CL money is the reason things have changed in the league, Stoke(and other mid table clubs) are competing with the Milan clubs for players and taking Barca fringe players.
