He said that the only reason Haaland would choose us over Real is for this reason.
Obviously we're not great at winning trophies?
We need to go after him now. Can’t let him keep getting away with this whilst looking like he stinks of fags and piss.
We won't though, and, these cunts know it, Like it or not this defamatory narrative actually works, you get talking to other fans, they have swallowed the state owned, dirty oil money, financial doping, cheating ffp and escaping punishment nonsense.
Yep its one of the biggest gripes I have with our owners, they have failed to defend the integrity of the club against a aggressive media campaign. They should have sued early on, they would have won, and, the likes of Jordan, Harris, Delooney, Herbert, Ladyman et al would have been silenced, fucking annoying!
Agree 100% with your sentiment, these cunts need exposing and teaching a lesson.
Reality of taking the press on may be very different though. City have zero friends in the press, zero. You only have to look at what has happened to whoever the press 'en masse' decide to turn on. So for the club to lynch one of these fuckers in court it would have to be a watertight claim of defamation or whatever.
Otherwise the press would get additional exposure to spout loads of shit and drag more bullshit stuff up to put on their front pages.
At worst it could spark a co-ordinated campaign against both the club and the owners.
So it is a real double edged sword and the other edge may be even sharper and do more damage than the fairly low level sniping we have to put up with.
I would think that the club take legal advise on every single outburst against us and when it clearly crosses a line they probably make things clear behind the scenes to publishers/ owners and the money men behind these fuckers rather than go to public court.
The press and public mouthpieces have way too much power imo, allowed to spew opinion as though it matters - as though their opinion is of any fucking value at all. All the gutter hacks that go after people they dont like and abuse the fuck out them is seriously wrong imo.
Seems a fact of life though and has very few limits despite doing real tangible harm to people they pick on, all while hiding behind the 'immunity' of the press.
All i can say is i am always really surprised that we dont see any of these twats suffer strange accidents
