Media Discussion - 2023/24

Thank you sir, I fear of clicking anything these days.

Not just football, but pretty much any event in life certain publications are rarely accurate.

Console ourselves that in 20 years the history clubs will be irrelevant in the eyes of today's youth.
Today's hacks will have long gone and the new media will be pandering for their clicks from whoever are the flavour of the day.

Personally, I decriminalised the licence fee for myself many years ago. Fuck giving these cunts my hard earned money, same as Sky/TNT, just so that they can abuse me. How daft must you be to pay for it?

Fuck ‘em

Not paid the TV fee for donkeys years , had a couple of visits asking to enter my house amd told them to f*ck off , they threatened with getting a court order and returning with the police to gain entry but this will never happen , they just move on to the next mug shitting themselves because they have been threatened with court action and a £1000 fine.

Mate, stop reading/listening to the press/media.

It was making me ill, I get my City news from mcfc website or here.

I turn the match on at ko time, if the knobheads get on my nerves or its that squeaky spitting scouser it goes on mute.

Life is so much better when you ignore the press/media, if you let the press/media get to you than they are winning, just ignore the knobheads and enjoy our success.

I know mate, you're right.
In an era gone by we could defend our club.
These days it just feels like you just have to take the kicking.
But I will heed your advice.

It hasn’t changed a bit in 15 years - in fact and it’s getting far worse.

Newspapers in a physical form won’t exist in 20 years. They will exist online but hacks will be replaced by AI running pieces based on algorithms that pander to the red clubs more than ever.

If you have a newspaper like say the Mail , which online runs say 40 times more articles on red clubs than the treble winners then that won’t ever change.

The broadcasters at Sky and TNT are doing exactly the same and getting worse every year.

We haven’t broken the cycle despite having the greatest manager in the history of the game , clearing up all the trophies so thinking it will ever change is wrong

Oliver Holt in the Mail sticking it into Haaland today. Basically saying how much longer do we have to put up with the tantrums of pampered multi-millionaires.

Slimy **** nailed his colours to the mast decades and decades ago, and yet still he has that platform to continue his anti-City agenda.

It's easy to understand the media hatred and vilification.

United are a cash cow for the media, they generate a huge amount of ad revenue from all the clicks, subs and likes on any united related article and the broadcasters make even more money, all largely due to their millions of armchair fans throughout South East Asia.

City got an easy ride from the media in the early days of the takeover, it's only once we became successful and then dominant coinciding with the decline of united that the media hate campaign really got going.

As ever, It's all about the money.

If they shat on the rags constantly their interactions would be the same or more because more fans hate the scum then like them

We have been the number 1 team for the last 12 years.
The history clubs stole a march on us by being the relevant clubs at the time when the television took over the game ,that will mean little to the present day viewers around the world.
Clever organisations look in advance to gauge their future audience.
City are that future audience, IF, we maintain our current success .
Kids all around the world in this day and age only want to be attached to successful personalities and team's.
We are lucky,our owners spotted that potential ,when buying us,and we now have a worldwide fan base and massive potential growth.
Our rivals across the City,have failed to do that.

That all might sound well and good - but you answered your own question.

Utd haven’t won fuck all for 10 years and lurch from embarrassment to embarrassment - yet the English media don’t care.

BBC Skysports TNT The Sun The Mail The Times The Mirror etc etc all riddled with reds writing and broadcasting for the red teams. It will never change.

We’ve just won a treble and still don’t get a fair word or broadcast.

It will never change

You honestly believe the Daily United (Mail) can‘t keep their on-going anti-City campaign up. You think they would call it a day at some point. But no, the Daily Mail just keeps on going after City, regrdless of the reason/s.

On the Daily Mail’s ‘front page’. Look at the hysterical and over the top headline by Holt. According to Holt, it was nothing more than a ‘contentious’ decision.
