Media Thread 2020/21

[Phil1]

I've always defended the club over its relationship with the media. But maybe next month, maybe next year, it's going to become clear just how wretchedly pusillanimous we really are.

Calling @gordondaviesmoustache to the thread please
I repeat, could @gordondaviesmoustache please make his way to the thread.

It means we’re spineless cunts, mate.

My point is if a journo wants to add a few more words by quoting how much a player costs who cares.

People are free to care, at least enough to call the media out for being c***s, if they notice a narrative being pushed. Where's the big deal in calling it how you see it? There obviously are double standards when it comes City because they know our rivals eat ir up, City are the heel of the PL and the media play their part in that.

How soon did they stop quoting the price tags of VVD and Maguire? A new City player can be playing well all season and they'll still mention his pricetag in the build-up to every game and sometimes multiple times in commentary. A United or Liverpool player has to have a stinker of a season(Lukaku, Pogba) before they give them that treatment and even then they do it sparingly. The only reason they stopped giving us stick about Stones' fee is because Maguire was a much worse piece of business.

Why is Torres cost 37 m on Sky . And why dont City correct them

It does indeed, but the question is why?

I worked for many years travelling the Middle East and I've been to the UAE more times than I can remember. I know they are conservative in their business dealings, they're not brash, they're not showy, they avoid confrontation, but surely Khaldoon can see we're being rinsed day after day, playing nice is getting us nowhere.

That's another thing that annoys me, they'll often go with the most unreliable sources for transfer fees on City's signings and include bonuses without clarifying it. Have you got a link for that or was it on tv?

I wouldn’t say it’s getting us nowhere, but it’s hugely frustrating for us as fans and doubtless harms our image significantly.

Well if the club are going to be “polyamorous” or w/e the word was, then the fans are just going to have to wage the war aren’t we?

 

[CrownPointBlue]

This is exactly the kind of knob who needs to turn up at the campus and be shown where the fuckin' bus stop back to PIccadilly is! If we let them in and they write shite, they will still write the shite but we won't be feeding them and letting them in!

100% correctamundo.

The club are not going to go to war with the media despite the lies, distortion, bias and casual racism against the club, Sheik Mansour and Arabian Muslims.

The fight back must come from us fans in disputing spoken & writen drivel with fact based evidence and then identifying 2 or 3 of the worst culprits, isolating them and waging a relentless, coordinated war of exposure on them which should include helping them see the error of their ways as they approach the Etihad or cross the forecourt.

They’ll probably welcome the opportunity to discuss & debate, in an open & animated manner, the sporting subjects of the day.

Target the fuckers....a snipers rifle not a scatter gun ( metaphorically of course Mods & Ric ).

 

[SWP's back]

Pusillanimous??? WTF does that mean?

It’s where we get phrase “you’re a pussy” from.
