He probably would have been demoted to backroom staff in some shit hole department of the BBC, or sacked, and now working as a tea boy on Dave.

For a great example see Ian Cheeseman after his referee rant.

Simon Stone can't help but troll us. Report about our statement about inaccuracies in the La Liga blokes statement, with the point that we are consulting lawyers is an opportunity for the BBC to put our total spend this year as the biggest ever by any club. With helpful chart. No recognition of our sales, our net spend being much lower, the fact we can easily afford it with our income. Kind of sneakily insinuating that the bloke is right.
I've noticed something today.
Website after website are now reporting accurately and explaining what we've spent and what we recouped in sales.
This fair and balanced article from Talkshite.
It seem's City's threat of Legal all action against Tebas has focused minds across websites and the sporting media in general.
About time. Should have been done a lot earlier.
--------
Manchester City have reacted angrily to La Liga boss Javier Tebas' claims they are "destroying football" with their extravagant spending and have threatened legal action against him.
Earlier this week, Tebas wrote to UEFA asking the governing body to investigate whether "state clubs" such as Paris St Germain and City - owned by sovereign wealth funds from Qatar and Abu Dhabi respectively - have breached Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
This followed several weeks of combative rhetoric in the wake of PSG's £200m signing of Barca star Neymar.
But on Wednesday at the Soccerex Global Convention in Manchester, Tebas upped the ante by accusing City and PSG of artificially inflating their commercial revenues, distorting the transfer market and making a mockery of FFP.
His most memorable soundbite was directed at PSG when he said they had been "caught peeing in the swimming pool and Neymar is peeing off the diving board" but Tebas also referred to City's "oil wealth" and lucrative sponsorships by firms and government agencies from the United Arab Emirates.
This prompted a strong response from City, a club not known for conducting arguments in public.
In a statement, a City spokeswoman said: "We note the public comments made by Mr. Tebas today and earlier this week.
"UEFA's statement of the 4th of September is clear and based on accurate information. By contrast, Mr. Tebas' statements are ill-informed and in parts pure fiction.
"As you would expect, Manchester City Football Club and the City Football Group are seeking appropriate legal counsel and will act accordingly on that advice."
The comment about UEFA is a reference to the governing body's statement that City, unlike PSG, are not under an FFP investigation.
Both clubs were sanctioned for breaching the spending rules in 2014, when UEFA hit them with fines and placed limits on the size of their squads for European football in subsequent seasons.
The main issue for City at the time was that some of their commercial deals were found to be above market value but they are widely believed to have complied with FFP fairly comfortably since then, largely thanks to their rising status in the game and the Premier League's huge TV deals.
It should also be pointed out that while they spent £220m in the summer transfer window, they also brought in more than £90m in sales and a net spend of £130m is no longer remarkable in the Premier League.
Tebas was speaking on the day the Parisian club had been presenting its other major signing this summer, Kylian Mbappe. The teenager has joined on loan but is expected to complete a £166million move from Monaco next summer.

About f**king time, but the damage has been done. The constant drip, drip of negativity has taken its toll over recent years.I've noticed something today.

As in, "We'll take City's side ahead of those pesky Spaniards' side"
I don't think the media would be reacting this way if the cries of foulplay came from within these shores.
However I guess we should appreciate the relatively less negative approach whilst it lasts. As they say, don't look a gift horse in the mouth..

It made no difference to their reporting. But the gigantic **** is discommoded, so a win-win for me.The BBC's sports editor is banned from the Etihad, fat lot of good that action did us as they arguably treat us worse than any other.

My thoughts, exactly.Yeah would be nice if Southgate left Sterling on for the second half to redeem himself! Funny because he is a rag player Southgate keeps him on saying that Rashford is a top player and should start so should Sterling, what I don't get is the Ox how Southgate picks him when he is just a show pony with no end product or is it because now he is at another "history" club and gets a guarantee start?
It made no difference to their reporting. But the gigantic **** is discommoded, so a win-win for me.
It's got a lot worse in recent years and in what way is he discommoded? He couldn't give a fuck, like I said before he was promoted to Sports Editor a couple of years later.
