Will you two old gits stop arguing, you should be fully grown up, at your age ;-)

So it does bother you ?

Lots of things "bother" me but don't keep me awake at night. You seem "bothered" that people would be bothered by the negative media attention we get. Maybe you would be less worried if you kept off this thread. In answer to your inference, to the extent that the view of our club is moulded by the media, yes it bothers me, a bit.

None of the negative media coverage keeps me awake at night however it does damage our reputation as a club and that makes it harder for us to compete commercially with our rivals. It makes it harder for us to attract new fans and sponsorship revenues and that makes it harder for us to compete on the pitch with the giants of the game like Barca and Real Madrid. Organisations invest a lot of time and money in growing their operations and we can't afford to ignore the sort of unbalanced coverage we get. The more we as fans call it out the better.

You only have to look on this thread to see the wet knicker brigade.I agree that there are certain things that are said and reported that are not complimentary but by the same token people just feel the urge to go and seek out other pointless articles where there is literally nothing to be seen.However this thread has proved my point ... people do get upset at the slightest mention of anything that is not positive.
I just think these people need to get a life,instead of worrying (and thats what they do) who said what,why,but, and,however,no mention,why us,blah blah blah. ;)

Not worried Oakie. Just don't want you overdoing it, like ;-)

I find the OS significantly more stressful than any negative media coverage on us.

But you're making strawman arguments again. I don't find poor journalism stressful, I like talking about it. And I get to know what certain journos/publications are all about.

I prefer to call you a whinger.

Yes, they are fully grown, but we FOCs, when we get concessionary tickets, enter our second childhood. I'm currently five years old!
