The Mail have something about how signing Messi would shatter football finances and with two football lawyers claiming we have never reached CL semi final and the other saying part of Messi's wages could be made up through selling the masses of empty seats we have every week. If we had the sort of attendances these idiots seem to think we have, there would never be a problem getting a tram back home.
I've just read it. It's bizarre because straight from the off it says Messi won't get more, or probably as much, as he's currently getting at Barcelona. That would suggest that either football finances are already 'shattered' or that City signing Messi wouldn't actually change anything. Still, it was a catchy headline!
The operative word for many of those who inhabit the realm of the RDAHMeedya!
If only we had extended the other end of the ground we could have generated even more empty seats and gone for Ronaldo aswell
Instead the spice can now be found around Piccadilly Gardens
Somehow its not so appealing.
We cannot 'win' with the media whatever we do. With that in mind i'd loike to see us go out and get Messi and Mbappe and then have a big 'fuck you' signing on party.
I let curiosity get the better of me and read it. It's really not that bad, apart from that idiot lawyer talking about crowds and that we'll make money from selling more tickets. I was in JMW's office on a regular basis before lockdown so I'll be knocking on his door next time I do go in, and having a polite word!
Not getting to a CL semi under Pep has suddenly become never having reached one and a few empty seats turned into a half empty stadium. I assume it's aimed at a much wider audience than the average match going blue, but the snide put downs are intentional, although I assume that's possibly the journos handiwork rather than the people he was quoting.
