If we scrape the title again. Would love us to have a statue of Paddy Power outside our place for "services to City" after last time paying out on the rags and now this. Lol. I will stand corrected if it wasn't him that payed out, think it was though.

I'm glad you all like the statue, given that I paid for fucking most of it.

Risky promotional stunt - alienating 700 million potential customers ;)

I never thought of it that way and inclined to agree. Starting to wonder if #SOD campaign, the plane banners and all the memes lost him his job because of all the negative PR it gave the rags.stony said:I hate Moyes and the rags, but this is going to far. There's a difference between taking piss and being vindictive cunts.
He's been sacked, they've taken the piss, time to move on.

The rag hierarchy won't like being made mugs out of. Everyone in the country was taking the piss out them and Moyes and rightly so.
I'll still take the piss out of them and him, but I'm a City fan, and no fucker is interested in what I say.
PP is a company who are very much in the media spotlight. You can't watch telly, listen to the radio, go to a game, or browse the internet without seeing their name. Like everyone with that much exposure to the masses, they have influence.
Moyse prospective employers won't give a toss what fans on a forum say about him. But if a company like PP continually ridicule and make him a national joke, they would think twice about employing him.
PP have gone beyond the realms of what is acceptable in my opinion and if I was Moyse I'd be getting my lawyers to have a quiet word.
I can't believe I'm actually sticking up for the ****, because I can't fucking stand him.
Then I stand corrected. Cheers. :-)0jimharri said:Fred Done.i8therags said:If we scrape the title again.

PP whilst occasionally funny are completely classless. They take a joke that's circulating on social media and then exploit it for all it's worth to generate some buzz. The grim reaper joke had been done at Old Trafford earlier in the season too.
