I rarely listen to Talksport but lots of people do and there is no doubt that this sort of coverage undermines our reputation and damages our brand. You can't just ignore it and hope it will go away. It will affect us commercially everytime we try and negotiate a sponsorship deal. Business partners do not like being tainted by association. The relentless negative and biased coverage we get is an ongoing issue for us as a business. Chelsea used to be the whipping boys but nowadays they get a free pass. The very least we should do is pull the plug on our advertising with Talksport. As an organisation we need to be on the front foot with this. We have had it for almost ten years now.
So anti-city stuff is click bait for blues as well as reds? Then do not expect things to change.
The only power you have against these organisations is to impact on its listenership and consequently advertisement revenues.

Firstly good post and the narrative you describe in relation to commercial aspects I would not disagree with, even if we disagree on if it effects City uniquely. . So lets just say all that is true so how can we as a fanbase effect change the other way.
Could we not effect talksport commercially if we stopped listening to the show, if they had less viewers would not that effect their commercial revenues
It seems pretty clear to me that talksports whole business model is to make controversial statements, get a heated debate raging to attract listeners and get joe public who want to 'give it to the presenter' to call in and keep the cycle going.
What will change if the listening figures/advertisement revenues stay the same?
Maybe its just me, and this is not directly aimed at you, but I do not understand how anything will change if people keep tuning in to the show and then come on here moaning about it. Your casting a vote tor the continuation of the dross the show produces.
I do agree conpletely with removing advertising if that takes place. Its small steps but something people can influence.
If someone treats us unfairly, or tells lies or misrepresents what we're doing or what we're about we shouldn't be afraid to say so.
Silence doesn't stop the lies, the unreasonable criticism, the consistent negative tone about he very thing we do.
If people think we did wrong at the start of the takeover they should criticise what we did at the start of the takeover. But that doesn't give them the right to carry on forever.
