PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[bluesince76]

Media literacy on here is awful. We frequently see people mistake a journalist reporting a quote as the journalist saying the quote, as well as blaming news outlets for the accuracy of their user comments FFS.

I read F365 most days because it’s a good aggregator. Sometimes they try a bit hard to be funny, but they’ve got nothing against the club unless your standard is that everyone less committed to City than Pete the badge is part of a campaign against the club.

Then again, there is literally not a single news outlet in the sport that hasn’t been deemed to be part of the rag dipper media conspiracy so I don’t know why I even bother pointing out when someone talks that bollocks for the 8,000th time.

I used to read it, but lately, most of the stories use the same clickbait Media watch calls out on other platforms. The 'expulsion' thing is a good example, where someone said that if the charges were proven it could result in expulsion from the PL, which I don't think would surprise anyone, including City fans, but they're now using it to give the impression that when the 'expulsion' happens, this player is moving to generate clicks from all concerned.

It must work in terms of their overall advertising revenue, but I now avoid them, along with most of the papers, as the headline will have little in common with the actual words. Does result in an echo chamber of news about the charges, but I've given up trying to find proper journalism about them anywhere else.

This is the argument i love having with our detractors, basically they are accusing us of dodgy dealing and off the record payments. They have been and continue to demand investigations to try and uncover the evidence but cant find any. And then we are expected to believe the very people who want us charged for dodgy accounting have been bought off with backhanders.

In reality if this was the case all it would take is for one person to come forward as a whistleblower and we would be bang to rights and tarnished forever.

Funny how nobody ever has done isnt it :)

That's because we've paid them off

Utter lunacy to think people like Nick Harris have anything against City isn’t it?

It was my grandads 90th in December and I bought him the paper from the day he was born as a present.

The one thing I learned is that there’s nothing new about headlines exaggerating or not really linking to articles and/or click bait.

Also, completely insanely, the front page was for classifieds and not news until the last days of WW2.

This is what always gets me, we’re apparently bribing the very people who came up with the charges and then bribing them even more to prolong the investigation.

In some weird case of corporate masochism.

There's an insanity that thinks we'd pay them off, but only after they've charged us

What does Nick Harris have to do with F365?

Nothing. You brought up a wider media conspiracy which I can only think has been mentioned due to other journalists outside of F365.

Interesting, if true.

What a fucking shambles.

I brought up believing ALL news outlets are part of a conspiracy against us.

I still don’t see what Nick Harris has to do with that.
