A snippet from the Daily Fail back in September

Manchester City have embraced the game of football spin to the extent that they have as many PR chiefs on their books a s t h e s i x g o a l s p u t p a s t Portsmouth last Sunday. Vicky Kloss leads the in-house PR team, but her predecessor Paul Tyrell is still on the staff, with his exit terms undecided. Former News of the World editor Phil Hall is acting as a consultant for executive chairman Garry Cook and club transfer broker Kia Joorabchian (pictured), while PR guru Matthew Freud advises honorary president Thaksin Shinawatra. New owners Abu Dhabi United Group will have their communications specialist Simon Pearson on the board and he has employed London firm Edelman to work with him.

I hadn't seen that one. So clearly we have enough people etc to try and get a paper or two on side.

Manchester City have embraced the game of football spin to the extent that they have as many PR chiefs on their books a s t h e s i x g o a l s p u t p a s t Portsmouth last Sunday.

Phil Hall seems to be out of the picture as he is acting as "minder" to the ex-RBS head, Fred Goodwin. Vicki Kloss & Rosie Bass are still the PR function at the club but I suspect they are reactive rather than pro-active and I know they are actively looking for a new head. They desperately need someone doing the job on a day-to-day basis as, despite Tyrrell's many faults, he had a nasty streak and would have really ripped into some of the editors for printing some of the shit written in the last few weeks. Simon Pearce & Edelman won't be doing the job at that level of detail.
