Media Discussion - 2023/24

I'm not Going to get into a discussion about him, but he's one of the biggest reasons people are against the license fee. If you think he's wonderful, that's up to you, but I don't see why millions of struggling families and pensioners should be forced to enrich a millionaire even further.

"he just shouts out his lunatic views"

"What makes you think that?"

"I'm not Going to get into a discussion about him"


weak weak weak weak weak. It's almost as if he doesn't have any lunatic views.

Do you think that Lineker deserves to be paid over £1,000,000 p.a. for an hour's work on a Saturday night?
Great value for money?

People are paid what their employers are prepared to pay and sometimes less. Would I like to come out of retirement for a £1,000,000pa, no thanks I’d like the money but I don’t want the work. I would have snatched their hand off if I was young, you’re dam right I would. I’m not jealous of Gary Lineker and think he is a decent presenter.

The rags and scousers have the BBC and a number of national newspapers as their PR department. It's not the club's themselves.

Agreed. But that doesn't change the situation that our PR team (if we have one) are totally ineffective and have been since the takeover. As a club we are now demonised by the media. It's to late to change things now. Its gone past the point of no return. We are FFP, oil cheats, who's success has been made possible by petro dollars. The stadium is always empty and the fans are plastics. That's the media narrative and it has stuck. We have won on the field. But we have been absolutely trounced off it.

Lineker is a centrist if anything id argue. Maybe slightly left leaning. Absolutely harmless. How angry do you have to be to consider his views 'lunatic' lead?!

Do you really think City’s PR department have any sway over what newspapers or TV channels spew out.

The media pump out whatever gets the most engagement / clicks / makes them more cash - and unfortunately that’s snide City stories or lots of positive pieces about teams in red.

Effective PR wouldn’t change a thing. The only way it will improve is when pro-City pieces get the same engagement as the teams in red - but that ain’t gonna be anytime soon cause we have a lot of catching up to do.

Globally will be a lot quicker - but will take years in this country

United & Liverpool's PR departments appear to have plenty of sway.

It's a club policy that has backfired and failed miserably.

As you say, those accusations are now set in stone.

The club may not be bothered about those accusations in private as they will continue to plough on through them, but in public City fans are concerned and are bothered about them.
