Very true Ric.

Fans need to realise papers are not obliged to give us the same coverage as other teams as they have commercial decisioms to make and its pointless feeling aggrieved by this.

We may get less coverage than say United/Liverpool/Spurs/Arsenal but arguably more coverage than every other football club on the football pyramid.

At the moment were playing wonderful football and that is reflected in the vast majority of media output and it is pretty easy to find. Its actually an additional pleasure of this City side that you can wake up on a sunday and read the articles musing over whether we will go a season unbeaten, are we the best footballing side ever and how good the likes of KDB are. Its just a great time to be a blue.

Sadly like everything in life it will not last for ever so better to just enjoy this period rather than find minscule slights to focus on.

Fully agree. We just need to acknowledge that the media as a business publishes what sells rather than what is right/fair/accurate and therefore we need to lower our expectations as to how the same said media covers City.

Martin Samuel is being very frank about what drives media coverage on Sunday Supplement. Worth watching, even if some may not like it.

To be fair they all were but they ain't telling us nothing the majority of us didn't already know....it's all about the money for them and positive articles about us don't generate the clicks and therefore the money....at least they are admitting it

Be interesting to see the online clicks we were getting pre takeover to the clicks we are getting now.
We have come a long way in a very short space of time.
Only a matter of time before we are the media’s favorite club, especially if Maureen signs a contract extension

They've just basically said this on Sunday Supplement that positive articles about us don't generate enough clicks or sales and it's just the way it is....basically tough shit get used to it....
But we all knew this anyway

Exactly...we just have to accept it and concentrate on ourselves. The fan base worldwide wont grow to the extent the club wants until we win a CL and start consistently challenging for reaching the final of the CL each year. We are getting closer each season though and hopefully can achieve this under the tutelage of Pep
 
I get the argument about clicks but that doesn't explain why the DM's football page puts City's match report way below the reports on the Madrid derby 0-0 borefest, the Napoli v AC Milan game and two stories on the Wales manager's job.

Its not really about positive or negative, it's just interest in general.

I haven't seen anything negative about our football this season at all tbh.

You're right about us not having any negative articles this season because there is no way any of them can write one the way we are playing and being run
One of the hacks on Sunday Supplement basically said no one wants to here about how well we're doing because in his words it's basically boring....he said negative articles about us get clicks but there is nothing they can say that's negative so not as much coverage as we would maybe want
