SPECIAL REPORT: The failings of Premier League football factories
SPECIAL REPORT - IAN HERBERT: The Premier League is undertaking a review of its academy system, 10 years after it was set up. But it is aftercare which has become the priority issue.
Despite it being a serious matter not just in UK but probably world wide, why is it like I am reading another article about City?

Nobody will be shocked that R4 sports news opened with Liverpool with full audio clips of some commentator spuffing as the goals went in and then moved onto the winter Olympics.
Unlike yesterday when they went as far to bring on a skiers girlfriend too talk about how shit her boyfried had performed on the slopes.
Oh and Manchester City won 5-0 and Manchester united also cemented a top 4 spot with a win over BHA.
Wankers

All of our collective complaining yesterday regarding the difficulty in finding news of City's game and result has paid off, thank goodness!
The cheeky-chappies on the Sports desk have responded by ensuring that today's 'Daily Fail' has restored football to its rightful place by having the first four stories on its interweb-thingy page all to do with Liverpool’s magnificent , 'hold the front page' performance in Milan last night. And as a bonus, story no.6 brings news of the impending arrival of none other than Kylian Mbappe to bolster the project at Liverpool, him having been in touch with local estate agents regarding bijou townhouses around Toxteth etc!
Now, perhaps everyone on 'the good ship Football' will calm down and finally be happy about the media's coverage of our national game..

Uggh I just watched that Simon Jordan rant video, it's this bit that gets me:
"With the most money spent" No, that's United Simon, keep up. It wasn't that, that annoyed me though, it was what came next.
He's clearly triggered by the "within the rules" comment and goes a brighter shade of pink, struggling to get his words out fast enough. He's literally turning scouser, he kisses their arses that much lol.
He basically tried to discredit CAS on an the basis of an unrelated matter. "Yeah this Russian guy was proved to be taking PEDs and they let him off. So yeah, everything CAS says is rubbish now". How pathetic is that, just because he got proved wrong(can't even remember what he was saying before the verdict tbh).
So he thinks UEFA's own internal CFCB know more than the CAS about the law and what accounts for proof. I thought CAS was the organisation that was actually independent and essentially a real court, that specialises in sports, not the CFCB. Someone should really phone him up and nail him for some of this. Ask him, where does he seriously think the European Supreme Court's views would have aligned more with, CAS' or UEFA's views on the case presented against City? Then laugh over him while he's trying to answer you. Like he does, to try and break peoples train of thought, the obnoxious little berk.
City breached it once but so did Liverpool in the same year, remind him of that. Wasn't City's only the case because UEFA changed the exemption from both years during that period to just applicable to 2011/12? Which made a difference of £52m or so in City's accounts.
Had City have known that before it was too late, they might have spent less that summer. Or maybe use the rule that Liverpool did. If you spend the same amount on infrastructure, that can be deducted from the losses in the same period. Except Sheikh Mansour would have actually spent the money on infrastructure and have something to show for it. Liverpool got to take £50m off their losses for a Stanley park that didn't get built... No questions asked though, no press campaign for more scrutiny.
I shouldn't let prats like Jordan wind me up but he's got everyone(except City fans) fooled that he knows what he's talking about. I'm not even an expert and I know more than him.

Good to see. I counted 11 Liverpool stories in the first 30 in this morning's Mail Online. Clearly yesterday was an aberration, maybe due to technical problems or internet connection issues in Lisbon.

I can't be the only one who saw Martin Samuel on Cheesey's Vlog from the game on Tuesday. Did he not do a write up?

Because our academy takes all the talented players away from the rags. They unfortunately have to end up buying them for 70 odd million quid from Dortmund in the end.

Interesting week so far for me , sort of media related.
My Chelsea mate who works in the media for forty odd years now pop round. We got talking football and he was raving about how good City's football is. Than we mentioned the club world cup lol. I said I didnt know it was being played. He said that the way the press/media covered liverpool and Chelsea was chalk and cheese. He even had abit of a row with someone in his sports department about the lack of courage for Chelsea compared to the dippers.
Yesterday a spurs fan phoned me up first time in about 3 years again raving about Citys football. How much he liked watching City.
Both these two dislike the dippers and rags as much as the next man. So it seems that soon the only people buy the press/media products will be the dippers and rags. That's a very small percentage of football fans to pin your national product on.
Really football people can see how good City are on and off the field. The press/media can carry on with their bull shit but fans other than the dippers and rags are beginning to see thought it.

I am not that bothered as to the extent of media coverage. It matters more to me as to what the media say.
However I am curious as to why this is. Are the media right in assuming that good City news does not sell?
The easiest way of checking was I thought look at the number of twitter followers...
Barcelona 39.9m
Man Utd 29.7m
Chelsea 19.5m
Liverpool 19.3m
Arsenal 18.6m
Real Madrid 13.4m
City 11.5m
Spurs 6.9m
Does that surprise you? It seems to me that there is good logic as to why City do not feature much in media content. We just don't have the numbers. It must change with success but how long will it take?
Of course there are other metrics but this was the easiest one to check.
I think if you were to include China, City would be much higher but the British media is not interested in the Chinese. Perhaps they should be.

Back many years ago, City had the ‘lead’ in numbers in a couple of social media platforms iirc. (From socialbakers website back in the day)
United didn’t even have a presence on one of the major ones.
City’s YouTube channel smashed everyone else’s.
…. but the media coverage was the same as it is now - despite City with even more success on the pitch now.
So the argument that social media numbers drives media coverage is yet another ‘but only if your team plays in red’ fact.

Yes. He did. For sure ;)
That irritating saying seems very popular with the Dutch. I noticed it about 50 years ago. Whether they originated it with a similar phrase in their own language l am not sure. For sure.
