Media Discussion - 2023/24

...because, unfortunately, they can get away with it.

City have no PR presence in the media, at all. Nor has it ever looked like they want to have one. So there's no pushback from anyone with a sizeable platform.

Some fans try but it's an impossible task with the amount of hatred and vitriol aimed our way.

I'm giving them shit every single day non stop

A few have challenged me but after throwing a few personal insults my way one by one they go silent

I'll take any of the fuckers on !

Declare “ENOUGH, I hate what you’ve done for my club, over a decade of success, the trophies, the last day match thrillers, sticking it to the Rags, countless records, I’ve had enough!”

Fuck off Herbert, hope you’re reading this you class one twatbadger.

And all the investment that has brought employment to a once deprived area in Manchester. Not forgetting the work the CFG have done with communities associated with our world wide clubs, a Twatbadger describes him to a tee, not that I've anything against Badgers.

What does he mean by interloper owners?

I know you know what it means, but here is the definition;

noun

1. a person who becomes involved in a place or situation where they are not wanted or are considered not to belong.

Not libellous, but sailing very close to the racist wind.

Noel Gallagher on PL matches abroad:

“I couldn’t care less if a ManCity ‘customer’ in New Jersey wants to see a game. Get off your f***ing arse and come to Manchester, then. Why are we talking about schlepping out to Abu Dhabi for a League Cup final, FA Cup finals in Bangkok?"

“It [football] will change drastically in the next decade and, 20 years from now, it will be unrecognisable. Once there are 14 American owners in the PL, it’s over. They will vote for no relegation. There will be rule changes and all sorts of mad s***..."

"Honestly, the Americanisation of football is not good for the game. It will be a slow erosion. And we are going to be powerless to stop them..."

Man City's bubble of victimhood has their fans drowning in a sense of injustice. It's time for them to stand up to their interloper owners and declare: 'Enough', writes IAN HERBERT​

Is this the latest go-to City diatribe. It's not just the club they don't like, it's us for not sharing their moral vacuum

Impressive that more and more we are seeing the term 'victim' being applied to us as a club and fanbase.

Must be gathering clicks from the spice-heads...........

His use of Interloper is very telling and he wants us fans to tell Sheik Mansour to do one. Has there ever been a more appropriately named 'journalist' .

Has he changed his name to Ian **** by deed poll ?

 

[jim tolmies perm]

I like this guy. City fan, sticks it back at the media. Needs more clicks.

You know, I didn't even twig that when I first read.

Who is it that has decided that our owners are not wanted - Ian fucking Herbert?

'Ian Herbert - chief interloper' hung from the Colin Bell opening home fixture of the season.

We really need a rolling banner detailing all the hacks that we want to call out (yes it would be quite the lengthy banner but this is bollocks)............
