Media thread 2022/23

The last part of his rant…

At the hearing there were 12 present on City’s side. From Uefa just four in the room, and two British counsel attending by video-conference call. It would be a most damaging defeat for Uefa, and its failure to enforce its own rules would contribute in no small part to the disquiet that prompted the Super League breakaway. Now it is the Premier League’s legal team that faces City’s lawyers, who already have one notable scalp. City, needless to say, deny any wrongdoing.

We should just sue the ****.

Sheik Mansour arrives!!!!

Remember the Daily Mail piece the other week saying he wasn't bothering.

I hope he gets interviewed after by comfy chair and tells him he's buying Discovery Group which includes TNT Sports.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I say again, give him what he wants....

He thinks he is above the likes of me and you, mate.

City have weaponised us, you see?

He's a pompous, Jonny-come-lately, thinking he's a football fan probably because he remembers Gazza in Euro '96, and daddy invited the neighbours round to sing 'It's Coming Home'.

He thinks deeply about the game, to the extent he can't decide between a latte or Cappuccino before taking his seat.

Before you hang up your pencil and notepad iMac, am I misremembering the fact that the PL rules (which we've obviously signedup for) dictate who of media can come to our club, enjoy the best hospitality, question the best coach, question the best players and report in the worst possible way about the best football... so we (City) can't 'ban' a media entity, or can we 'ban' a person for that entity?

I'm sure there's loads of poor junior reporters just itching to write some decent football reports with a higher level of football knowledge than their 'name' seniors.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I would love to see him do a John Terry if we win.

:)

It wouldn’t be a John Terry, as Sergio genuinely contributed to us getting here and (hopefully) winning it!

Massive amount of old boy dinosaurs in football journalism that will age out soon, thankfully.

Not @tolmie's hairdoo, of course, though. ;-)

You would think on a nice day like this he would get out in the sunshine and give his wrist a day off!

To be fair, many blues that weren’t able to go to Istanbul aren’t doing that today, either. ;-)

Sam Cunningham from the iPaper going all in this morning:

Yet he has no problem writing for a newspaper that was/is owned by the Russian oligarch son of a former KGB agent.

Don't share his links, it's what he wants.
