I heard Pat Nevin talking today on the BBC news (radio) about the Lineker situation.
He said when you work for the BBC you have to be impartial on topics and Gary clearly wasn't.
Impartial haha as the little jock never seen or heard the impartiality around Manchester City from that biased organisation.

Just have a look at the latest BBC HYS on Pep, "impartial" is not the word that springs to mind & you are not allowed a right of reply,
The BBC is a shit stain of an organisation that panders to the red tops for clicks & the sooner the licence fee is scrapped the better, lets face it there are now more adverts on the BBC for the crap they produce than adverts on other stations for stuff you might actually need.

Just made the mistake of putting TalkSPORT on to gauge their reaction ( I know, I know) and according to Troy Deeney, we’re just bad losers.

We were upset by one of the most controversial events in an FA Cup final but that can't be mentioned.
Did any City players rip their silver medals off for the cameras?
Just like the rags did after getting beat by Villareal that year.
Now that's sore losers for you, but again wasn't mentioned at the time

Complaint sent to BBC:

"There is a general BBC bias in the coverage given towards Manchester City Football Club by the BBC and it's staff. Countless examples of biased statements in the build up and coverage of the FA cup final this weekend.

For instance In the FA cup match highlights the BBC are promoting the lie, in the broadcast match comments that Haaland was running away from goal prior to the Henderson handball. They repeat this same lie that VAR came out with, followed by Shearer's agreement to their statement. In reality the ball was heading directly towards the Palace goal, which Haaland would have played without Henderson swiping it away from goal with his handball.

It was clearly the denial of a goal scoring opportunity and Henderson should have been sent off.

The BBC are white washing the truth, allowing this untrue statement to be repeated. ITV suggested that "it was one of the poorest decisions in an FA cup final"

The BBC should be truthful, fair and impartial in its output. It should not be promoting lies and bias as it does at the moment."

And that impartiality being buried under the redshirt clickbait with regard to football is just one of the reasons why our state broadcaster is plumbing the depths.

Our state broadcaster has employed some right wrong 'uns, mainly for the benefit of the right wrong 'uns who support them.
 
The good old bbc have stated we are cooling our interest in Florian Wirtz......
'Owing to the soaring cost of the deal'

They go on to say it would be the biggest deal in City's history reaching up to 300 million euros...... wait for it....... inclusive of transfer fee and wages !

Just what the fuck. He's 22, if he stayed until he was 35, why it could be a world record 500 million, that's including win bonuses, taxis home after a night out and selling his worn shirts on Ebay

Its beyod a joke. No other club has wages quoted as part of a fee.

Haha...I used to love different strokes by the way.

By googling the question 'Are Manchester City state owned ?', this is the output:

, Manchester City is not state-owned. While the club is majority-owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, which is an investment company controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, it is not directly owned by the state of Abu Dhabi or the United Arab Emirates. Sheikh Mansour is a member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi and the vice-president and deputy prime minister of the UAE.

Here's a more detailed explanation:
    • City Football Group (CFG):
      Manchester City is part of the City Football Group (CFG), a holding company that also owns stakes in other football clubs around the world.
    • Abu Dhabi United Group:
      The majority stake in CFG is owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, an investment company controlled by Sheikh Mansour.
    • Not State-Owned:
      While Sheikh Mansour's position in the UAE government might give the impression of state ownership, the club is legally and financially distinct from the UAE government.
    • Minority Stakeholders:
      CFG also has minority stakeholders, including an American investment firm called Silver Lake, which holds a minority stake.
 
Was listening to 5 Live tonight's Monday night club.

Shay Given was saying that it was unacceptable that VAR didn't send off Henderson and that they must have been the only people in the stadium that thought that wasn't a red card. Was thinking to myself well apart from Shearer and Guy Mowbray as well.

Chris Sutton made the point that I was saying on Saturday, imagine that had been at the other end, all hell would have broken loose if the City keeper wasn't sent off for that.

They then went on to have a discussion about City losing, Haaland not taking the penalty, the fact that the manager doesn't select a penalty taker and that the players can decide themselves on the pitch (amateur hour this was described as) and Bernardo's comments in digging out team mates with pointed comments. Also a bit on Grealish with Given saying he feels sorry for how he's been treated and we should build the team around him, had all the football coached out of him by being made to play in a system etc and also saying he could replace KDB.
Then they also talked a bit on KDB not wanting to leave and being forced out. And also on our January signings that none of them bar Marmoush have looked anything like a success yet and £170m was a big outlay. Oh yeah and they also said it was very strange Echeverri got a run out ahead of the likes of Grealish

Their conclusion was that after years of doing everything well and efficiently that it all seems to be unravelling for City and that we're in a bit of a mess at the minute, and that Pep looks tired and as if he doesn't want to be there at times.

Whether you like these pundits or not, a lot of what they said is true and worrying.

Yeh I suppose we could’ve brought Grealish on to pass it sideways like the rest of them. Building the team around Grealish is a joke.
