What are City playing at?

[tolmie's hairdoo]

There now has to be some serious questions asked about the media/PR team at City.

We are continually having our pants pulled down by large sections of the written press and certain columinsts.

If some of this was happening to United, they would be down on it like a ton of bricks with banning orders.

The majority of local hacks are given a soft ride because in the main, they toe the line and know we are their bread and butter.

Admittedly, most of the anti-City agenda, they have no influence over.

However, it's time Vicki Kloss and whoeve,r start to apply serious leverage to City's availability.

It is the only avenue open to us in terms starting to clamp down.

I have read some articles today which are BEYOND BELIEF.

We've got Michael Calvin's Sunday Mirror piece hacking us to bits (AGAIN).

No real thread, just a variety of well-worn accusations, albeit casting our owners as The Muppets. He finishes with the all-out attack by saying the world must hope we fail.

Andy Dunn in News of The World - Cash crazy players, Balotelli's avarice.

And my personal favourite. The Sunday Star (Yeah, I know) Ray Ansbro Sports' Editor column.

For those of you who won't know, he is a huge United fan. This aside, to compare City to the Nazi's and their Blitzkrieg tactics is just unbelievable.

I do not agree, and cannot believe for a second, that all publicity, is good publicity.

Stop throwing the doors open, the patch journos will have nothing to write. The desk agendas will continue in spite.

Stop trying to be friends, it is getting us nowhere.

At the very least, why aren't these bastard sports' editors being dragged up here on luncheon?

It's no use giving stuff off the record to keep people sweet, making players available for interview, if the unpalatable result stays the same.

Start hitting them in the pocket.<br /><br />-- Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:59 am --<br /><br />Can I just add, the Sunday Star also has a spread by someone called Ben Fairthorne.

An interview with Buffon. Where the hell does this stuff come from?

I really can't believe someone actually go out of their way to ask him, 'So Gigi, Man City's defenders, not one of them would get in a top team'...?

Cue another knocking job...

Surely were going to have to bite back soon

Although maybe we want to ram it down their throats by Doing it on the pitch

Here,Here Tolmie we need to shut these muppets up once and for all get the club's legal team to rings these reporter's and ask if they have a good lawyer and when they ask why say if you print anymore shite about MCFC you will be sued faster than you can wipe your arse

And in the meantime, everything we try to do on the pitch, is undermined with what is being said and reported off it.

You have to believe this.

I emailed the club over a month ago asking why they are allowing this and linking to the Yaya/whore article in the NOTW and never got a responce. Cook has made a comment or two about the media and their agenda at us so why isn't something being done? Ban the tw@ts from our stadium, issue legal threats at some of their slander, stop being pushovers about it.

 

[Project]

I'm kind of indifferent to it. Ultimately, who cares? Just remember their names when (touch wood) we become successful and they are begging for access.

 

[meeesh]

Any e-mail addresses TH ?
Post on here if you could the tossers in question,we could get the ball rolling

 

[Johnsonontheleft]

Get used to it because its only gonna get worse...

The Mirror are socialists, they want everything flattened out on a level playing field and they despise people who have money. Hence their anti-City vitriol.

The only pro-City articles I have read are from the Daily Mail, written by Martin Samuel.

Agreed, Sunay Supplement are just about to twist Ades interview.

But you are forgetting that there is no need for them to wipe their ass when their sh1te comes out of their mouths - typewriters (or whatever they use nowadays to print their papers).

As an aside I have just emailed the Sierra Leonne blog to one of the Journo's over here that had in the past written pieces advertising the work that our supporters club and other City clubs here do for charities (though mainly because his father has a signed City shirt that i am trying to obtain for Howard Alex Phil etc to auction for the sierra leonne appeal).
