Our PR department and the media

[Ban-jani]

A free press is important to any society

I hope Bayern lose

 

[moomba]

The problem Bayern will have is that if they take legal action now they'll have to do it every time otherwise they are pretty much confirming the story is true. And some true stories they might be so keen on confirming or denying.

There is an unspoken agreement amongst those who talk and write about football for a living that Manchester City's achievements should be played down at all times.

Negative stoties, on the other hand, shall be mentioned wherever possible so that they become unquestioned fact.

As another poster on here once said...In the eyes of the football illuminati, we have arrived but we don't belong.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

So it's either having smoke blown up your arse by a bunch of sycophants which, in no time at all, becomes your distorted view of reality and you then become (and also attract) a bunch of arrogant, hateful fucking wankers a la our rag friends or alternatively you are represented as the devil incarnate, despised by all but your own.

With those 2 choices I take the latter every time.

All day; every day.

Do you know this for a fact, or just your opinion from what you see and read in the media?

I know it's a fact. Someone at City told me that after a Mancini press conference he witnessed a number of journalists from different papers discussing among themselves how they were going to spin it. Negatively naturally.

There is no logical reason for the British media to report upon City fairly and objectively.

There is but not one that's logical to the media.

There is but not one that's logical to the media.

Hence my use of the preposition: 'for'.

It's the conclusion I have arrived at after years of watching, listening to and reading items on City since 2008.

 

[caseball]

It's been going on much longer than that.

It's noticabe how the Rags PR Department have totally dominated the news in relation to the Manchester bombing - the only team in mourning (it would seem), backpage of most newspapers etc. I think we have behaved in a class way but United have history in regard to manipulating tragedy!

I've seen it a few times and it makes me sick, this had nothing to do with football, if we as a club tried to piggyback on a tragedy like this its one of the few things that would stop me supporting them. Sorry about the rant.

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

It's because United are playing today.

 

[The blue phantom]

Yep. Sky were praising City for opening their doors to all involved in the tragedy.

I certainly wouldn't try to score points over the Rags regarding this.

Has pep come out and said anything? Surprised considering his family was there???

He did something on twitter, but nothing long.

 

[madchester]

I was reading sly sport on phone app yesterday. Where are they now about the Arsenal invincible team. Every player they mentioned who they played for what they won with them etc et****il they mention Kolo & Clichy says the years they played at City but no mention of the trophy haul both players achieved with us !!!!!

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Looking at the BBC news updates page about the bombing, it's all nitied sympathies.

which is fine by me.
makes united look like they are using the tragedy to drum up support (they dont have any form, Munich rarely gets a mention from them)
