Media Thread 2020/21

The press negative view is very important. These reports are printed in newspapers overseas without any checks or balance. It makes it difficult, if not impossible for City to grow the brand globally when people have been fed very negative stories for years.

I agree and it is something that I still don't fully understand.

One of the reasons for acquiring City was to promote the UAE internationally. I believe that, recognising this (and of course the commercial threat to the global revenue generating cash cow dominance), the UK media has systematically worked to undermine this strategy with their sustained broadly negative City narrative.

Given the dire state of the industry, would it not make sense for Sheik Mansour to take a controlling interest in some of these media organisations so as to better manage and control how we are portrayed?

Shouldn't Dion Dublin be promoting Aston Villa ie a club where he actually spent some meaningful playing time at?

Only 12 appearances at Man U per Wiki. Hardly a long and illustrious club career is it??

yes Dion Dublin, talking them through his legendary 12 games

Am I correct in thinking he broke his leg when he was at the rags!
Although it wasn't a cup final, surely a story to dine out on

Did he open a sports shop. I think I’m getting mixed up.

Would anyone buy into the UK media. It's a shit show.

Did we have no sport yesterday?

I've been changing from BBC to Sky for roughly a hour and seen nothing not even a mention of the Rugby or Cricket.

Plenty rugby news up here

No, that was Dave Dublin.

The most memorable thing about Dublin’s time at united was Ferguson’s (quite funny tbf) quote about his manhood: “that man cannot wear a kilt”.

Right you are! ;-)
Enjoy the game this afternoon.
Hopefully a stress free one, if that's possible!!

Haha, if it is stress-free it will have been the best day ever, feeling it already, there are 40 of the scouse supporting cunts at my work, to compare there are about 10 rags.

Well said Dom.

Enjoy this clip from the start of the season on redmentv featuring a sports scientist/stats guy who is a regular on other Liverpool podcasts. He makes a very compelling case for the advantage LIverpool had over City with their pre-season compared to ours. Worth a watch for the Liverpool cockiness alone :)

Got a link for that?
