Bit of a late moan, it was about England's game tbh and I forgot by the time I got home.

R4 had that scouse fan on reporting on the England result, he mentioned the booing and the fact we won 3-0 but not once did he mention a single City player, odd considering one scored and all three goals were set up by City players.

Strange reporting that.

John Murray is the reporter they go to.

If the club won,t do anything to stop GN spouting financial shite ,is there any procedure for the fans to demand his”proof” that the Club and it’s Auditors are telling “lies”.

Legal action is not the only recourse. Active reputation management can be very effective. Suppose, for example, City put out a statement showing the errors in Neville's comment (he got the figures for sponsorship, which he failed to quote, all wrong) in a slightly withering tone. He would just look stupid or lying to suit his agenda.

Spot-on. Legal action is the last resort. But it is basic good practice to correct false information about your business if it is in the public domain. If you don't correct the lies then eventually the false narrative takes hold. This is how Putin has duped his own population. City have not been proactive enough in defending our reputation.
Neville is a prominent public figure not a loon on Twitter like so many of our critics. I am not really worried about the loons. For example it was a mistake for City not to respond to the wild allegations from Rob Harris about Pep after the Watford FA Cup Final. Rob Harris works for AP one of the world's biggest and most respected news agencies and his content is seen by millions of people in hundreds of publications and websites across the world. You cant just ignore it.

It was similar in the running commentary for last week's game too. Manchester United's Luke Shaw makes his xth appearance. Man United captain Harry Maguire ties his lace, etc. Very few other players had their team names attributed, although Palace did get a mention.

I take it a call to the embassy is a step too far then?
