For those Blues who don't believe in "the system" in which the media operates in, please ask yourself this: Would City really be mentioned by the likes of Sky/BT/TalkShite and so on if we weren't in competitions which they promote and contain clubs they are associated with?
I highly doubt it. whereas if the likes of Manure, Arsenal, Liverpool were to up sticks and play in some Super League in another country - They'll be all over it.
We are mentioned reluctantly. in their system of PR, they make revenue from clubs who create the interest.... We are now seen as the "Bad Guy" of this form of entertainment.
The good guys are the likes of Manure, Arsenal, Liverpool.
The media will be making revenue from City, but they are basing this on casting us in the Bad Guy Role.... so all the fans of the Good Guys will hate us naturally and thus
want to see us fail, so will click on links which criticise City, gloat on our failures and so on.
This isn't always the case %100, but it's apparent if you know anything about PR what has been gradually going on since the takeover.
Like many big hollywood blockbusters however, sometimes the good guys turn bad and vice versa ;)
