Express just retracted article about Haaland instructing lawyers

Erling Haaland - a correction

On 8 February 2023, we published an article under the headline "Erling Haaland ‘makes request to lawyers' with Man City star planning to jump ship" which reported claims in the Spanish media that Erling Haaland had asked lawyers to bring forward the release clause in his Manchester City contract...

Whether we are guilty or innocent is irrelevant to the UK media and their puppet masters (USA all the way etc) that continue to orchestrate their covert racial and ethnic biases towards our club. You could argue we are stereotyped as "Arab owners/oil money = cheating cnnts". Once an investigation was announced the discourse was always intended to portray City in an extremely negative manner - or at least ramp up that discourse. IMO there are sinister forces (in plain sight) at play here to discredit our owners - "how can nomads be so successful in the sporting world and especially in England". Anyway thats my tuppence worth, ignorant rags and dippers will continue to hang on to every word of scummy racist journalists !!

The worst thing about the English media is the total lack of challenge to the established order. Years ago there were always right wing papers that supported the establishment at all costs. But now virtually every media company has become part of the football establishment. No challenge or scrutiny happens. Every question and every story is prepared to support the preconceived narrative.
There is actually a great story in the bitter vendetta between the US owned clubs and Manchester City. Skullduggery and corruption behind the scenes on a scale the sport has never seen. But no one wants that story they just want to follow the establishment line they have been fed. Most of the modern day hacks are just fucking nodding donkeys.

It was the "petro-dollars" bollocks that did it for me, what a wanker.

I think I'm right in saying thats the first time the press has used the word "fraud" in all this. Very dangerous ground and will incite alot of bad feeling. I'm fucking fuming right now!

He‘s fraudulent himself claiming to be a journalist. He’s just a lying **** with a laptop.

Heard Some guy on the radio saying CAS cleared us of charges purely because they were time barred, not because we were innocent and that this time without the timebar technically, we are toast. It’s not that hard to find the CAS statement online but these people spout lies to feed the agenda

Twitter is full of the same stuff.

People actually believe we were guilty at CAS because of the fine (for not co-operating) and believe we were only found not guilty on a technicality.

It shows what a piss poor job the main sports media does of explaining facts to people.

Ian Ladyman how apt.

A truly shite piece of reporting by one of this country's most awful rags. Anyone who has witnessed Haaland after a City win can see the guy is loving it at City.

As I said in his player performance thread, I know for a fact that he'll be buying a house in East Cheshire. The price tag made my eyes water, not something you buy if you're only here a few years.

Imagine if one of them got hit with a plastic pint-pot of coins.

I hope no one throws anything at the press. We get enough crap said about us and last thing we need is something like that.

Exactly, and football fans will follow unwittingly!
