Media discussion - 2024/25

The entire concept of this story is flawed. Juventus were found guilty of match-fixing following a criminal investigation. City have been accused of breaching financial rules created by the Premier League leadership and have strongly denied it. There is no accusation of any criminal behaviour. We have been accused of investing (too much) money in our club. Something which is not illegal and happened at most other PL clubs before 2012. There is no equivalence here. What a despicable thing for any local paper to do.

Agree with you entirely. I am saddened that the Evening News continually stick the boot into our club. Years and years ago I would read the balanced articles by Peter Gardner and David Meek about their respective clubs. Journalism today has died out and is simply regurgitating stuff and nonsense in an effort to get as many clicks as possible - and to encourage more hatred towards us from other clubs.

I think the MEN know that they've lost the vast majority of City fans and have now ceased to care if they upset us in the hope it attracts more united fans to their red fanzine.
Plus don't forget that the MEN is stablemates with Dipper Echo and the City hating Daily Mirror.

Just a thought, but maybe it's a ploy to get HRH to buy it.

Maybe it’s time to challenge all those in the media who claimed football was over/dull/doped because City ‘have more money’, ‘it’s not fair’ etc. Many of those journalists who are now sticking the boot in because City have bad results are the same who claim it’s unfair when we manage an extraordinary achievement like 4 titles in a row.

Instead of sticking the boot in when we found major success they should’ve applauded our brilliance.

I’ve written a few words on it:

That’s Football!

Manchester City’s recent results have inevitably brought many headlines and, of course, if you support a team whose form is one of mainly defeats then inevitably you’re bound to worry. …

it’s just noise to sell their papers, TV stations or whatever. As with the moments of success a pragmatic view is needed.
