Costa disrespected City a couple of years ago, so for me he can go and fuck his mum’s ****.

The silly so and so.

Posters on here always complain about our PR dept and how they should fight back. Who exactly is going to publish, on line, in print or on TV anything the PR dept say? Positive articles on us do not generate clicks so no one will full stop.

They will if we make them as sensationalist as f*ck. With the grain of long term truth at their base that we can point back to in the future with a follow up 'we told you so'. And so the credence of our big picture prescience becomes complete.

Yes but that job is quite a cushy one and they tend to hang about for years and so we get the old faces (or faeces) all the time and it might take some time to filter through. At times Micah gets too giggly and can be put into a box as the resident City panto villain and being more serious might give him more gravitas and a 'serious' glare at some of the clowns on with him might put them off with their nonsensical column.
Personally I would like to see our Ned more, he is intelligent, authorities and well informed. I wouldn't like a serious glare off him either;)

I'm more using Micah as an example of how the narrative changes when there's someone ex-City in the room. It will take time but it will happen if we carry on doing what were doing. Thought Kompany was going to move onto the comfy cushions but he decided to earn his living from football instead. The BBC loved him and again they totally changed when he was around.

Either/or

I think the specific examples you quote are indeed actionable, I have no idea how far after the event the club took them. I do wish Pep had stood up and tested the bastard, or at least said get the fuck out and don’t cone back.

My comment was more to do with the daily press and the click bait drive. We need to be realistic, that only changes in terms of good press when we generate adequate click bait.
It’s understandable even if ‘unpalatable’.

Whilst the club continue to move forward the media bile makes no difference to me. As I said, just ignore it, too old to raise my blood pressure over it .

I would add, I used to enjoy reading about any football pre-takeover

Whereas l get what you are saying about click bait l dont worry too much about the daily press.
If someone says that the rags have 30 stories l won't look and in fact rarely look at any City stories because of the cookies. It is the unfairness about our fantastic achievements that gets me and the dishonesty that surrounds it.
I like being a grumpy old man and l like the thought of my blood pressure increasing.
As a kid we used to have so much to read about football generally even stuff like Charlie Buchan's Football Album from years before obtained from a jumble sale. These were kept immaculately neat in my drawer downstairs along with programmes, rosettes, hand knitted scarf, cricket bat etc. I had several newspapers following the 55 and 56 Cup finals but there was no bias or favouritism as far as l can remember. We used to traipse down to Crokey Park to play football and it was always City v United with roughly equal numbers, coming back we would be invited into the Bethshan Tabernacle for a cup of tea and a bikky which we happily took in whilst avoiding the religious bit.
Not much to do with the media but l liked recalling Memory Lane in Upper Longsight;)

That's why Micah would never make a manager. Costa is over the hill and would destroy our dressing room in my view. I don't think he can be compared to Cavani who used to be a world-class player and is still a very good one and crucially still very fit (unlike Costa).

He had a fractured cheekbone iirc. I think he was entitled to go down in that situation, rather than having felt someone's fingers brush his arm, like Salah, Mané and most of the United team.

Think both of them were really good mates too before & after if I remember correctly.

It will only change when fan bases change. I’d hazard a guess there are a shed load of young city fans out there and when they become adults, get jobs, and so are valuable consumers the media will need to adjust.

or, maybe not. Kids consume their news and TV differently these days. Hence why the print media is dying

Yes but having a more aggressive PR is needed to push out our name is important too. A large number of fans are growing up fed by lies.
