Media Discussion - 2023/24

The club should do what the white house does and have an official Press secretary who talks to the press on behalf of the club.

I vote Andy Morrison after 10 pints.

Or just storm the press box, get charged, get a 3 year banning order, and get a ban for life from City.

A fully loaded AK47 would do the job :)

City can’t act like the rags, so there is no point knocking the club for it.

1. United have more power over the media due to their achievements and commercial power generated over 20 years and fergie. City are still relatively new on the scene, still new money.

2. Journalists careers can and will be stopped if they go after the golden goose too much, same with the dips.

3. American owned club will always get a pass for this type of behaviour. City will not with the human rights issues in the Middle East.

Apart from the fans having to deal with and listen to the constant negativity, I do believe that Khaldoon does not care. The journey city have been on is testament to this view. No amount of shit thrown by the press or any other club has impacted our performances on the field nor our growth off it.

20 years from now if we keep going it will be different. Or maybe not as negative city sells bucketloads.

All I am saying is that it’s unfortunately not an approach we can take. The custodians have decided to play the long game and so far you can’t argue with results.

Fuck the rags and the media cunts who lick their leaky ballbag -:)

Carry on City!

He wasn’t that indignant when Klopp went way over the top to the officials earlier this year. Holt is a **** of the highest order, he’s as bad as the rest of them.

if Bingo or in that case anyone goes balistic at officals they'll revert back to Haaland should of been punished and this wou;dnt of happend

I dont often listen to the radio on the way back from the game but yesterday I was with my brother & he had Sutton & Savage on in the car, to be honest I could not believe how bad it was, sounded like two kids in a playground, my dads bigger than your dad type shit,
I though Talkshite was poor quality radio but that crap from Sutton & Savage made talkshite sound like a bunch of intellectuals.

Sutton is terrible. It's one thing trying to wind up Savage, even though it is tedious and boring, but he also does it with proper commentators, and even presenters. He was trying his childish brand of one-upmanship on Mark Chapman last week, and also one of the BBC radio commentators. They were just far too professional to get involved though. I got the impression Chapman was hugely irritated by his juvenile behaviour.

I never thought Sutton had an issue with us until this season, he was always so complimentary.
He's openly saying now that he wants Liverpool and Arsenal to keep winning so he gets a title race this season.
He's not alone, don't think many left in the media want us to win.

No one has said or behaved any worse than the Arsenal incident at Newcastle.
There punishment was zero and ours should be the same.

The players didn't remonstrate with the referee though. They stood around him, but only whilst waiting for the VAR decision. The Newcastle players were also with the referee, but neither set of players could have been said to be out of control.

 

[Paladin]

Jenas just using every opportunity to get back in the good books for officials well-being after getting told off a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure if he's in Hooper's good book. He was scathing of him.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

Football is what happens on the pitch, whatever the Premier League or FA say, we are where we are, and have been and will be. That is how it was before American owners took over the red clubs and tried to destroy competition.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Nothing fair play about it.

Those people banned and others in the media will be even more determined to stick the boot in now.

What's bizzarre is that those journalists were some of utds biggest cheerleaders. A few articles about dressing room being split and utd spit their dummy out.

It's made them look small time and petulant, not strong.

Plus, a UAE owned club banning journalists will just invite more criticism and negative stories.

Not sure it’s possible for the media to be any more negative or critical.

They hate us anyway, so why try and pacify them if it’s not going to make any difference?
