There has been very little national coverage of the new arena, the new stand, or the hotel. In fact hardly anything has been reported about any of Sheikh Mansour’s wider investments in Manchester. The media has also ignored the fact he has so far made at least £2bn profit on his investments. It doesn’t really support the fake sportswashing narrative.

Maybe that's more a problem on our side, our PR has been shockingly poor and one reason I have a slight concern about the 115 outcome.

If I was the Sheik/Khaldoon I would not be sitting on my hands with some of the things said about the club, when in reality we have transformed a run down area of Manchester and for that matter revolutionized the way elite football clubs are run and operated and in doing so transformed the quality of the Premier League teams from top to bottom.

Pribably not, but the article is far removed from his usual bias pieces.

There is a big problem across the european leagues with predictable.title winners and wealth distribution cememting the same teams positon of power

The prem though more balanced still could have done with forest, villa or newcastle being serious title.contenders the last few years rather than the predictable Us/scouse/arse dynamic.

If FIFAs cash grab comp injects even more money into the usual clubs it isn't healthy for football in general.

Though I love us being successful I still refuse to start thinking like fans of those clubs who would keep the status quo

Also they never actually paid city when their ground was bombed during 2nd world war and we let them play at Maine Road.
With cumulative interest they owe us millions.

Unfortunately, I think this is something of a myth. @Gary James has written about it before and, if he's around and has the time, is the person to give an authoritative answer.
 
Media are using UEFA Landscape Report to fill out their papers / websites.

Naturally, the first item in the report, revenue, is not highlighted by the media because according to this report, City are 2nd in Europe, narrowly behind Real Madrid. And it wouldn't do to highlight that. Better to focus on costs etc so that they get the required message across

What was the conclusion of the report? Something like UEFA should takeover all broadcast rights to end the disparity with the English clubs and Lithuanian.

I take your point, but the premise of the article is that more money to certain clubs makes long runs with them winning the title more likely. While that is undeniably the case in the long run, perhaps over decades, there is a glaring incongruity between the winners of the Premier League over the last 4 years and the PL net spend table.

Slimy Stone really enjoyed his little moment putting our 4-in-a-row stat in the article, even though it actually proves the opposite of the premise of his article. His premise would have made Man Utd champions for the last 5 years! Of course he's too dopy to realise what he's done.

And most of his readership
 
So...United remain unbeaten in Europe. Look how the media are spinning an utter wank performance. They totally controlled the game. Yet here we are 19 games on and the player they were comparing to Haaland who cost circa 70million is still awaiting that goal.
Now ask yourself this. We signed Khusanov,a young kid who made 1 mistake in his debut,a game we went onto win.The media hammered him, a player who has been outstanding since then,barely recognised since for his outstanding play. They didnt protect him like they have Hoijland.
Ask yourself why?
Have a media free day blues and if not remember to take stories for what they are.

That’s a fair point. We have not helped ourselves much. Even the local media has not given us substantial coverage.

Khus is also a muslim and from the relics of the old Soviet Union, the other is a white , blue eyed Dane playing for the world's favorite football club.

The media almost hatred to Khusanov has been a disgrace and very wrong, it's interesting that our opponents in the games he has played for us have gone out of their way to praise and cajole him on the pitch, they know exactly what the press are doing.

But all this will come back to haunt them, Khus for me is going to be a big star in football.
