Media Discussion - 2023/24

if we are found innocent there is a question of what all these charges and the period they took to decide on them caused in terms of defamation.
one could argue that there were many big sponsorship deals that did not happen despite the on field successes due to them being worried we might be guilty which seems to be the media agenda anyway.

I doubt it, given the court rulings so far. At least not for how long it’s taken.

Aren't we doing damage to them on an almost daily basis?

On the pitch yes. Off the pitch the red shirt clubs have destroyed City's reputation with a well coordinated and long term plan and campaign aided by the Rag loving media and ultimately the PL.

The anti-PL agenda is really bizarre.

I have no particular love for them, people on here understandably dislike them because of the FFP dispute.

There’s really no reason for your average fan to hate the PL. people will reply to this with a laundry list of things and I’m confident 99% of them will be things Masters has no power to change, or explicitly isn’t allowed one.

Today I’ve seen people angry at masters for

- The process being too slow.
- the process being too fast.
- The process not being specific enough, even though it was the clubs not PL management who made that decision.
- Colluding with City to quash the 115 charges.
-Colluding with “reds” to create the 115 charges.
- FFP existing (brought in by the clubs 5 years before Masters joined)
- FFP unravelling
- Enforcing rules
- Not enforcing rules
- Commenting on a confidential arbitration.
- Not being allowed to speak about the same confidential arbitration.
- VAR (literally nothing to do with him)

He's a dick and it really is mainly his fault

Possibly in the UK, but not in the rest of the world

When the case starts it will be headline news around the world. There are football fans in many other countries who think City are guilty. City's reputation has been tarnished abroad. Thankfully City's success on the pitch has attracted millions of new City fans all over the world.

And isn't that the reason that the redshirts have been pushing the PL to charge us ?

So, the whole wide world will be watching when their accusations are shown to be unfounded. Marvellous.

So I can't wipe my arse tonight then?

You can but make it’s sure on the rag page.:)

Exactly. Our name isn't tarnished in the eyes of players/managers that we might want to sign, advertisers, investors and the young kids that are growing up watching us play fantastic football.
The only people that care are irrelevant cunts.

For me best post of the day.

I don’t think we can win either way now. We are guilty in the eyes of all football fans regardless of the outcome. The PL and media has done enough damage to ensure this.

Not stopping sponsorships though, we're a global business now.
