Media Thread - 2021/22

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

The f***ing obsessed Scouse c*nts at the Liverpool Echo are at it again.(and again, and again....)

Seriously, what is it with these c*nts?!

You'd think they'd be more interested in writing about and constantly attacking their biggest rivals Manchester United, instead of Citeh!

Once again the Liverpool FC and FSG narrative about City is clear to read. And once again it's played out by the Liverpool Echo.

Anyway. No link, just the headline, and some snippets from the pile of shite written by Theo Squires.(bad Scouse tash, Theo)

• Theo joined the ECHO's sports team in 2018, having previously spent four seasons in the media team at Bolton Wanderers. He mainly provides content for our Liverpool and Everton pages.

Harry Kane will take false Pep Guardiola transfer narrative to £1bn as FSG and Liverpool limitations emerge​

Pep Guardiola continues to bend the truth with Manchester City transfer spend as Liverpool and FSG watch

Pep Guardiola is being economical with the truth once again. Who knew?

Perhaps he’s not operating on the same playing field as Liverpool and the rest of City’s rivals after all. Go figure.

The reality will be arguably be a blend of the two, topped up by a rather large dabble of Emirate financial backing.

Theo then goes on to question the £60mill figure quoted by Pep and breaks down the player sales so far to disprove that figure.(remember, this is the Liverpool Echo)

Theo then goes on and on about City, and City's spending, with plenty of digs thrown in, and culminating in.......

If they sign the England captain, Guardiola will have spent over £1billion since moving to the Etihad in 2016, while his gross spend currently stands at at least £880m.

(arf!) Theo. That might leave them(Liverppol) as the side most at risk of falling out of title contention, but they know their limitations and it makes their achievements in recent years all the more impressive.

You just wonder what false narrative Guardiola will push next time when bending the truth and standing up for his ‘plucky’ side.

The full article reads like war and peace, and a constant attack on City, but more so on Pep.

As per, the article was written to appease Liverpool's cult fan base. A good day's work by Theo. Well done Theo, you plastic Scouse.....(fill in as appropriate)

Just like the MUeN, it's nothing more than a fanzine...........

‘large dabble (?) of Emirate financial backing’ !?!
Even if it was true, when did being lucky enough to have enormous mineral wealth under your feet, and being able to sell it to willing customers become immoral or a crime?
On the other hand, when did money laundering and financially enabling drug dealers, people traffickers, and suicide bombers and using the proceeds to sportswash your image by sponsoring club shirts become entirely acceptable and not worth a comment from our fearless crusaders for truth and justice in the media?

Whether by bad faith or basic stupidity/incompetence, the issue of prize money is the biggest misunderstanding going when the media or uneducated rival fans talk about us being ‘backed by rich owners’.
We took in around £230m in prize money from the PL and Champions League last season alone. More than £2billion estimated since the 2008 takeover.
Not bad for a club bought for £200m or so.
The difference between City and our rivals being that our owners reinvest it all back into the club and don’t take it out.
I’ve suggested before that one of our more financially astute writers/podcasters could do a deep dive into the numbers over the years, it would be an interesting point to analyse.

Since Pep - 15/16 to 20/21 - combined PL and CL revenue from TV/Prize money.

£1.278 billion - City
£1.182 billion - Liverpool
£1.146 billion - Chelsea
£1.137 billion - United

Annoys me that last season United earned only about £8mil less than Liverpool despite being knocked out of CL in the group stage. They of course got a 2nd chance via the Euro League for losers and they get the biggest ££ for the "history" coefficent.

20/21 Euro TV/prize money in €mil:

Chelsea 121
City 120
Liverpool 86
United 76

Tomorrow’s Mirror
Lickle Leicester run by a Tie businessman who has a stall on Loughborough market beat the big spending oil cheats with a well deserved penalty to condem the Bitters to their second consecutive final defeat in 8 weeks. Proving again money ain’t everything.

if we had won …..

The big spending Camel jockeys plaything prevailed with the most dubious of last minute penalties to win a nothing trophy in front of a sparse crowd. Despite the billions of pounds difference in team cost’s only a bafflingly bad refereeing decision cost plucky young Leicester a trophy. We can only hope the FFP dodgers did not ‘get’ to the man in the middle. Adding yet more (zzzzzzz) illgotten silverware to their obscene trophy haul.

Awaits city announcing a sponsorship deal with Numan.

. . . . . the biggest ££ for the "history" coefficent.. . . . . . . . . . .

I think this should be applied to my pension. I was never out work, qualified every season!

Ever since it turned out to be under the feet of those pesky Arabs who don't know their place.

Nothing about UEFA today ?

Disappointing to see City podcast and blog 93:20 participating in a fan preview in the Observer. I wont be subscribing to any City fan channels that support the Guardian Media Group.

Players will make their choices on the basis of pay; the manager; potential for success; style of play; location of club; and many other reasons besides.

The possibility that, 3-4 years down the line, your new club might drive a hard bargain with your next club won’t figure prominently among them.

Since Pep - 15/16 to 20/21 - combined PL and Europe:

£1.278 billion - City
£1.182 billion - Liverpool
£1.146 billion - Chelsea
£1.137 billion - United

20/21 Euro TV/prize money in €mil:

Chelsea 121

What are those top figures.
