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.
That's an interesting theory. City have very deep pockets and I really do wonder why we are not more proactive legally with some of the most damaging false allegations against our club. There have been plenty of libellous articles against individuals (not just the players). After eight years the passive PR approach has not really worked for us.
 
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.

Conspirators and apologists are rife amongst this board. Lets both keep an eye out for them.
 
This is the media we are talking about here. We can say what we like and have all the press conferences we want but it only give the media Moore column inches filled and a) the do not have to print it and b) even if they do they can say what they like and misrepresent what has been said. Imagine the clowns on Sly, BT and BBC MOTD? They would have a field day. I am of the belief that the less said the better and let the football do the talking it will not take long for the public to cotton on and see we play good football that is worth watching. No need to drag ourselves down to their level.

I have said before I don't buy a newspaper and rarely watch the football unless City are playing and when I do I turn the sound down and listen to BBC Manc and I never watch Match of the Day.
 
Fucking hell. If all the made up shit we have to put up with isn't bad enough, now some of the press twats are linking us with Johnny Evans. That's definitely one step too far and the club now need to act now
