I sometimes just do not get the media hate. We are a club on the way up and going to achieve great things and our fan base will undoubtedly grow exponentially. You would think that the media would want a piece of it as the rags are clearly on the way down and yet they find every opportunity to slag us off. They are doing their level best to keep us down but it will not work as the more we win the more our popularity will rise and they will be left with no choice or they will be left behind.
The issue is all the middle aged media hacks , ex-player pundits are invariably Rags , Dippers or Goons , so until the new breed of ex-City players are amongst the media (Kompany, Zabs , etc) then the narrative will not change , it will possibly be another 5 to 10 years before we get anywhere near the respect our achievements deserve. Then they will have to accept us and jump on the bandwagon / gravytrain , the media is a fickle business as the Rags will find out as they tumble down the picking list.
