SWP's back said:Do I think members of the Manchester press pack (who are all mates and drink together) could have decided on the agenda for their stories beforehand between them? Of course, yes.tonea2003 said:City Glory While Others Fade said:For me the clearest indication that there's a planned agenda was the recent articles on City signing up it's best players on long term contracts. Originally this was reported as it happened as each player got signed up, then in Pellers pre-match interview a couple of the hacks pressed him on whether Yaya would be getting a new contract. Pellers swerved the question and straight after the reports in mirror, telegraph, independent, mail and sun on this topic were that Yaya would not to be offered a new contract.
It was a planned and deliberate attempt by a number of papers to destabilise the player by misrepresenting the club and a number of the journo's had got together to do it.....Clear Agenda and collusion by the press and the evidence is on the city site and the papers online sites for all to see.
do you really think they got together before hand and said lets ask pellegrini about yaya and his contract and if he doesn't specifically say hes getting a new one we will print he isn't getting one
you don't know what is said behind closed doors at the club, for all we know they might be laughing their socks off at it all
and if it is an effort to destabilise players and club it clearly isn't working
bias clearly evident but planned agendas just not sure
Seems strange that they'd only want to provide their editor with the same story as everyone else.
