Find the article you ran about 'our' date for a parade being poached had we have beaten Wigan in the FA Cup final. City were due to play away at Reading on May 14 and the rags had the parade on May 13 which your paper claimed we would have wanted had we won the parade. So even though we would have been at Reading on the Tuesday your paper and your colleague were adament that had we won the final we would have wanted that date. Even when I called and pointed out the fact that City wouldn't even be in Manchester on that Monday I was told in no uncertain terms that I was wrong and your paper was right. The fact that the headline was changed later that day kind of proved my point!
Here's the article to which you refer <a class="postlink" href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchester-united-parade-premier-league-2999147" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ue-2999147</a>
It doesn't say that United poached the City date. In fact it states that there had been no discussions between City and the council, and that if City did have a parade, it would probably have to be the following week, as City had games at Reading and home to Norwich in the week after the final.
If, as you say, the headline was changed, I can't prove or disprove that - I only have secondhand knowledge of that story, as I didn't write it, so can't vouch for any changes.
