Media Thread - 2021/22

[91:23]

I see sky had the chuckle buttheads on the transfer show. Discussing Messi & PSG but somehow managed to accuse MCFC of being a state owned club who pay lawyers to circumvent ffp.

I think the club need to start communicating with the fans as to what action is being taken against these slanderous accusations with no legal base.

Constant barrage of lies peddled by sportwashing journalists to suit their corporate agenda. Disgusting.

It's bloody irritating I will admit, and it does have me shouting, at times, towards the radio or TV. I read a post on here some time ago, might even have been last seasons media thread which I sort of agree with even though I have no evidence to support what was said in the post, except what I continually read on here where fans comment about it happening. It went along the lines of..... The club aren't that arsed about the constant stream of lies spouted by the media. They are business people who get on with running our club in a professional manner. They don't want, or need, the distraction of several (a lot) of law suits against journalists or media corporations to get in the way of them doing what they so best, which is run our club. The more I see comments such as yours, the more I believe this is true. Therefore whilst it annoys me at times I then just consider this stance and think to myself that if the club don't mind these idiots and simple folk, who chat shit like they have some inside line on the club, so why should I. The damage is done with rival fans and clubs, nothing is going to change that narrative now, so fuck em, enjoy their salty tears and don't get wound up by it

If the club take action they'll shout about suppression and typical of our owners blah blah blah.

How the club communicate with fans about the action they are taking is by signing the like of Grealish for 100m and of course winning trophies. That hurts them even more.

I saw this earlier as it was repeated and I was gobsmacked. Even for these clowns it was a new low. I think the really gobby one who looks like someone who cons people out of their pension funds, said, "This is what the rest of football has to compete with, state owned clubs like PSG and Manchester City and it's just not possible, it's a real problem." He then went on to say we had very good lawyers who can circumnavigate the ffp rules.

The club might just want to ignore this but the damage it has done and is still doing is probably now beyond repair because they have ignored it for too long. Ask any one of us who go to games and pubs if it's just drivel that we should ignore, when we are constantly under verbal and at times physical attack due to the hatred towards our club and those associated with it, due to the lies these wankers peddle constantly. They have and are continuing to brainwash a nation that we are state owned cheats that have had all our success through unfair means. In other words we have also cheated their clubs out of success that could have been theirs and we must be stopped at all costs. It is the biggest mistake the club has made since the takeover allowing these people to peddle their lying filth.

No such thing as bad publicity, they are all crying and I love it.

City's lawyers must surely know if we have a nailed on case to sue, whether it be slander or liable ?
It makes me wonder why we wouldn't go for someone it that were the case and I can only conclude that it's either simply not worth it in the eyes of our board or they just can't be arsed !
I just can't help thinking that if we went to town on one individual or organisation it might put a stop to a lot of this shit or at least make them think twice etc ?

Thought I might as well join in.

Nice article on the BBC sports football page about how important it is to have a good start and showing the percentage of teams who have won the league when top in Sep, Oct, Nov and Dec. Quite interesting in a way. There are two pictures accompanying the story........now you'd think it would be the Champions or the team who have won 3 out of the last 4 titles....it's Liverpool!

Wait for the reactions when kane steps through the door.
These "experts" like the two twerps on sky sports won't know what's hit them.

They had a good start last year, how many points behind did it end up?

Watching Sky news bearded twat called Tim Montgomery reviewing the papers in front of a picture of a crowd approaching OT. Don't know who he is but doesn't sound like a Manc he is described as a conservative commentator . A rag and a Tory what a c**t.

He's also from Salisbury. That picture is probably the closest he's ever got to a rainy match day in Trafford
