Most people with even half a brain cell know they’re full of shit. Obviously they’re still pissed at us winning the league - but fuch em. This is a misconception. The press/media absolutely loved us winning the league. 14 minutes ago, gw_leics772 said: You sir, are genuinely a breath of fresh air, and i for one, truly appreciate your postings and am glad you feel comfortable enough to vent on here.

They're currently talking us up as top six contenders - they wouldn't do that if they hated us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UpTheLeagueFox Posted 25 July 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 25 July 2019 To be fair, fans of every club think the press/media despise them more than any other team. It's almost like we live in a super-sensitive era where people get very, very easily offended. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until an official news outlet reports something. No-one is forcing you to come into here everyday. That's true but when you see the thread go hot with pages of new posts you tend to check in to see if anything has happened. Then you wade through pages of dismal crap until you've wasted 10 minutes of your life that you'll never get back. Repeat ad nauseum. I reckon you feckers owe me an hour and a half! What can there possibly be left to say? Lock the damn thread, put it in a box and bury it in the garden. Edited 25 July 2019 by murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Oxlong Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 The muckspreader approach to football reporting is the result of the multitude of media outlets who are all vying for views and revenue. Every day they need to fill their outage with stories. A journo can’t get up, say I’ve got nothing to say and go back to bed. If they have genuine news then great but if not they’ll speculate, bluster and recycle just to produce something that justifies them earning a crust. That’s why I think that the media generally did love us winning the title. It gave them a few months of easy material and a different angle whilst they could also generate numerous “why did it all go so wrong”stuff re the top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave them a few months of easy material and a different angle whilst they could also generate numerous “why did it all go so wrong”stuff re the top 6. I think, generally, it was pretty good for everyone for us to win as it meant the league could play up the "unpredictable" nature of it and bang up subscriptions. The media liked the fairy tale of it all and every game became a "must watch" for people around the league as everyone other than Spurs, by the end, wanted us to win it. However, what the top teams and league don't want is for it to happen again - or too often - and want a Top 6 to be relatively stable with competition within it. If both Arsenal and Man United to drop out of top 6 this year to be replaced by Wolves, us, Everton or someone else then they really won't like it.

Lambert09 Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 (edited) Today is the last day of Alderweirelds 25m release clause. Genuinely, if we sold Maguire for 80 mill paid the release clause and gave him a 15m signing bonus.... he'd come wouldnt he? I get that clubs have a wage structure but surely in this case players would understand the motivation. We'd end up with a better cb and 40m in the bank... or am I just crazy? Obviously he would rather go to a champions league side but money talks. I get that age is a factor, but 3 years of TA would be worth 7 of dunk.
