Klopp only did it because of the new working relationship between the clubs.

He’s been told by his bosses at Liverpool to lay off City.

You won’t hear anything negative from Klopp about City anymore.

Really, is that a thing? I didn’t realise that “new relationship” was an ongoing process.

(I did wonder is it cos of the league table this year?!)

But the damage is done.

Wankers.

It was a shite retraction wasn’t it? Mind you, most newspapers are I guess.

He’s just a lying **** with a laptop.

A broad church that one.

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.

Everybody needs a bad guy and it’s us, they are ambiguous with positive facts so the window lickers still get their pound of sky blue flesh

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.

You're spot on Bobby,

I've been saying the same thing for years. The media are missing a trick. The rags demise since the pisscan checked out is a far bigger scoop.

The reluctance and downright fear from the British media to call-out the likes of the rags, dippers and tarquins is the real travesty.

Not a piss poor job at all.
There was only ever one way that this would be reported, and it never bore any relationship to the truth, and that’s exactly what they did.
These so-called ’journalists’ are nothing more than obsequious cheer-leaders for the vested interests.
They have sold their souls, if they ever had one.

I tried to give you an extra 'like' for your use of the word "obsequious" ;-)

If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal disease I may consider some kind of non terminal retribution for the City hating Media, it could range from kicking their car tyres to something a tad more serious.

Ha Don't expect the truth with regards anything from the media, every part of news is agenda driven, and the narrative is set from the start
