Funnily enough a few years back when I left my job in the Civil Service after 30 odd years dealing in law & with people etc I wrote to the club with my CV (seasoncard holder for longer than I'd been a CS) offering my services in any aspect for either PT or FT work...didn't even get an acknowledgement.
You must find it difficult when dealing with the ticket office pondering why the person currently displaying a wide range of incompetence has a job and you didn't get one.
 
Leeds United have publicly called out Karen Carney on Twitter over comments she made. Somewhat ironically people like Matterface complaining it just encourages fans to pile on those pundits.

I think we'd say that if clubs held people to account more for the ridiculous and often offensive things they've said it might encourage those pundits to think before they speak and maybe do some research before saying the first bit of shit that comes into their heads.

Good for Leeds.
Probably not appropriate for an official Twitter page but I think they’re absolutely spot on, non red shirt teams like us and Leeds are fed up of slander by pundits. No pundit would say that about Liverpool’s title win. I think it’s sad it has now become interpreted as sexist and misogynist as surely it doesn’t matter whether it was a man or woman saying it. Surely saying you can only call out a male pundit suggests that a women can’t handle the stick they would get on social media which would be sexist. Unfortunately Leeds have given the red shirt media another stick to hit their rivals with.
 
“And Harris is playing his Joker, the Sensitive City Fans card”
The 'Sensitive Fans' label might stick as it isn't as outwardly vicious as the 'sewer rats' description from that well known cheat Matthew Sayed.
City fans are the only group of fans that get openly criticised by media types apart from Millwall with their racism and violence over a long period.

Just thought I'd do a bit as a labour of love bud, I'd also get some itk stuff for here too! ;)

To be fair, touchwood I've never had a problem with the Ticket Office.

100%

Good on Leeds I say, and I wish City would do the same.

Our PR have fucking zero bottle
 
It's almost like the media want to be able to say whatever they want without accountability? Kind of goes against the point of journalism, doesn't it? Confusing.
Journalists taking the lead from politicians - who want to govern and make decisions but pointblank refuse to take any accountability... a feature of modern society - people want only the upside... Journalists treat us all with contempt and think we don't remember the lies they printed a week ago - when none of it comes to pass.

A good New Year proposal for all - avoid Twitter and the Press and you'll have a much happier 2021.

That's what makes me laugh when they go on about the freedom of the press. They and social media long ago lost any right to make out that democracy will crash if they are denied it, in fact the whole pack of them are responsible for killing it.

There are only 2 institutions the British media cannot topple

1. The Bank of England

2. Manchester City Football Club Ltd.
