Journalism has been dead for years, blame the slow decay of western society with the emphasis being placed on chasing money instead of education/information.

Now thats something that RS should have done a while ago and actually got his lawyer involved in sueing this type of crap.How many times has this happened since his return from the Euros.Should send out a clear message.

I think he said that he did once previously, and got the piece removed.
Difficult to know if suing would help.

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.

This is the crux of the matter and all blues would do well to pay heed.

Good point but I'm beginning to wonder if our owners are happy to use us as a sort of lightning rod to deflect any unwanted attention away from them. Perhaps there's a tacit agreement that City is fair game but Abu Dhabi and any individual associated with it isn't.

As a former mod I can tell you you'd have to have done something more than that to get a van.

Some 'don't give a toss merchants' are missing the point here. If they don't think media negativity affects our player recruitment that is. Sign for City - get a load of abuse in the media, get heckled at matches - NEVER get player or manager of year, NEVER get in team of the year etc etc. Always get negative coverage of your England performance even when playing well. Etc etc.
If you really don't think any of that matters then you are on the Rags side.

Haha you twat. In my defence I was in transit.
