Not ideal for the point, but I have spoken to the BBC incl. Dan Roan/his producer (and other BBC presenters) but in the end diaries didn't allow it to work and the story moved on. Door not closed there.
Thanks. They should always carry a balanced version of any story but rarely do. The BBC online did a big preview of the Pinto trial linking it to City but ignored any of the evidence given and then did not even publish the result when he admitted extortion. Totally unethical and unprofessional.
 
Making up rules to stop city is completely unfair.

Ian wright nor any other media personality has no grounds to call out MCFC on Sky broadcast.

If you see nothing wrong with that then answer me why no one is calling out Everton? Instead they get sympathy.

United’s debt? Nothing again.

Liverpool & United hiring the premier chief?

Investigate hacking?

Investigate why Liverpool dodged ffp?

Chelsea’s problems with Roman? Now with Todd!

American owners treated differently to Muslim owners? No on speaks about this either.

The corrupt list is endless but never investigated nor spoken about on Sky!

I don’t see Carragher or Neville or fucking Ian wright calling out these issues on TV.

So if they can’t call everyone out on every dodgy dealing that has transpired at every single club, they have no right to call out city.

It’s a constant attack to dehumanise city and our achievements on every level.

Pep is above reproach. Ffs the lies are now infecting city fans. Job done.

I am all up for an honest debate about the state of football finance but only in a fair arena which Sky are not. BBC are supposed to be but are not either.

Verry little if any of that at all has anything to do with Ian Wright or what he said last night and therefor my comment.

it would be very easy for the BBC to talk to someone like Stefan or Kieran Maguire for an independent and balanced version of this story. Despite our Chief Exec publically stating we have "overwhelming proof of our innocence" there has been no serious attempt to present our side of the story. Yet the claims of provenly corrupt people at UEFA, La Liga boss Tebas, and a convicted blackmailer Rui Pinto, are reported as if they are facts. As taxpayers we deserve better from our national public broadcaster.


The fact that Kieran Maguire is a frequent guest expert on BBC 5 Live, has regular columns on BBC Sport and has his own BBC Radio Sussex football podcast that's promoted across the BBC channels also somewhat dents his point about how the BBC would use Maguire if they weren't so biased against us.

Although maybe now he knows the BBC are doing literally what he demanded they do, @bobbyowenquiff will be happy with them?

No, I thought not.

Im going to stand up for these scribblers. Whilst some of these 'journalists ' appear stupid or unprofessional by not taking time to get facts and balance them, the Ziegler one being the latest, it is sadly deliberate.
It's the state of journalism today.
They would rather get us to fight each other than educate. To think they actually get paid!

COVID proved the value of home support, as every PL club, including City, lost a higher proportion of home games than during a traditional season.

Subsequently, a new phrase GAMES WITHOUT CROWDS has entered football vocabulary, yet only seems to be used by the media in relation to City's 4-1 victory at Anfield in 2020-21

They might have a point about the Anfield hostility, particularly in relation to Raheem Sterling's pathetically limp performances for City at Liverpool.

Indeed, Pep's record at Anfield is undeniably poor with only 6 Pl points from a possible 24.

However, whilst asserting that the Anfield support is far superior to anything else on Planet Earth, the media seem reluctant to make the obvious comparison with Klopp's Pl record at the "plastic" atmosphere of the ETIHAD during the same period.
Perhaps, it's because Klopp's Pl record at the ETIHAD during the same period is actually worse.

Nothing Ian wright said was about city was fair. That’s the point.

He didn't say any of the things you've accused him of saying.

So I don't think you, or any of the people getting angry have even watched what he said, so I'll just copy it and you can tell me exactly which bit of it you think is wrong, unfair or biased.

"The one thing I want is for this to all be gone so people can give the team and the manager the love that they deserve and the flowers they deserve. You want to speak about them but there's an elephant in the room and it's not fair on the players or the club".


He didn't "call out" City, that's just a lie. It didn't happen.

Not to mention Klopp walked away like John Wayne in alot of those draws where the combination of pure luck, shite finishing and often incompetent officiating prevented them from getting the dicking they deserved.

De Bruyne and Mahrez both missing penalties, Milner's non-red card, and City's disallowed goal at the ETIHAD earlier this season.
But for those, Klopp's record v City would be even worse
