Why are the media so Man Utd friendly?

Ok I don't like them so there will be an anti utd agenda but that doesn't mean Im not right. The media love utd. They never ever stop about them.

Yes they are a great club any person who denies that is in denial. But are they any better then us or Arsenal? Not to me but they get a whole lot more coverage. Actually as I post this sky are ramming utd down my throat now despite the fact Hull and Stoke are up first.

Ive seen some local lads here suggest its the nanc media but its the London media to. Despite the fact London has 2 maybe 3 big clubs they write more about utd then the local clubs.

Why? What is it that the media finds so intriguing about them?

Because Ferguscum  told them that's the way it's gonna be boys! In all Honesty Brian their resurgence started  about the same time as Sky's emergence. One of Sky's problems is their reluctance to speak of anything pre-sky, in other words the only team that's been consistently successful is Scumchester ! Other teams need 14 Sky premiership titles before anyone other than the mancs get any credit!

This, pretty much.

That and they have the largest fan base in the country.

It's unreal the coverage United get, you would be mistaken thinking winning is there god gives right.

they have been the darlings of the media for a very longtime even going back to the 60's.

The 60's attention may well be justified due to the aftermath of Munich and the rebuild of Sir matt's team but once he quit they went downhill resulting in relegation in 74, hopefully they do the same after Slur alex's departure!

Until we can start getting a few PL titles under our belt it is going to stay the way it is , manc lovin drivvle , Van Gaal this and Van Gaal that . I deliberately avoid newspapers except the Echo all because since i can remember they've been sucking their balls .

I'm not sure how it was in the past but I'm sure their success over the last couple of decades dicatates that they will get a lot of media attention and add their recent woes means they will always be in the forefront of the media's minds.

If United were about to sign Balotelli it would be all you would see on SSN.
Last couple of days there's been barely a mention.

Suck it in you biased fucks.

It's kind of understandable given they were the the dominant team for a large part of the premier league era. "Were" being the operative word.

The more media coverage those tw*ts get the better if you ask me it will only further put the spotlight on how sh*te they are.

Decades of complimentary gifts to the respective journalists, stadium bans to the disrespectful journalists. Basically the old soak ruled 'his' journalists with a rule of fear, write a negative article and he'd ban them and take away their livelihood by banning them from all of his hosted entertainments (pressers) but if they were good boys then he'd reward them with complimentary stay behinds and imbibements.

Iron fist and brown envelopes were the rule of thumb under c**t chops.

Not forgetting of course the representation they enjoyed with one of their directors on the FA board.

Which I'm surprised hasn't continued now he's 'moved up' in the world. I'd imagine getting out of there was something he was glad of, years of dealing with the old b***ard must've been a nightmare.

It's really not that surprising as United are the biggest brand in the PL.

Partially maybe but if Suarez would've signed for them do you think he would've been vilified by the tabloids and TV as much? Not a chance.

They are the Media's heroes it seems, even when they do wrong it's only because they aren't being the Man U the media know they can earn money off making them be.
I understand the bias but I feel it's going to turn into joke status with them, even in the media, more mockery and pressure on them to regain their prowess.
Over the years under Alex Ferguson, I think everyone will agree even when being reasonable about it that they got away with absolute murder in terms of coverage, leniency by officials, Fergie time, saying whatever slur Alex wanted to say, treating other professionals like dirt, ranting and raving, spitting out his chewy, drinking on the job = bullying their way to the top.

No chance, as United would give the media the boot if they were vilified by the media.

A lot of journalists earn their money from courage of Liverpool and United, the big difference however is that United use that as a way to put fear into them to give them the best PR image possible. While we don't really do anything when the media speak poorly of us.

they are still in denial about how poor their squad actually is and so is the media .We are joint 4th fav for the league along with UTD.Now someone explain that to me.

Not a clue mate, really do think we're great value. Should we win tonight those odds will collapse massively!

The short answer is cu*ts attract other cu*ts.

The more drawn-out answer is that they've been the dominant team the past 25 years, the have the biggest fanbase of any English club because of that success, most league titles, insane money and sponsorship, and any story about them sells, which is mutually beneficial to both media outlets and United.

A big part of why they never had such bad press is Ferguson as a manager, for one, and Ferguson as a tyrant. The way he and United staff went after journalists who dared to question them shows their control over the media. I think it was Daniel Taylor at the Guardian who said something like "We always had a fear of being banned if we questioned too hard" or something along those lines. (not an exact quote)

Exactly, look at how quickly Man U's PR dept went to work having a go at one of the Times journalists who wrote a piece about the manc players singing "Without killing anyone, we won it three times" on the pitch in Moscow, that piece was quickly pulled.

A monstrous organisation which can silence any critics - no wonder Rupert Murdoch wanted to buy them.

 The media like all businesses and governments align with success. They have vested interests in the relationship as well as mechanisms that are in place to foster the relationship. Once success goes, so does the support. The media and sponsors (who work the media too) will give them a little time to right the ship but will leave if it isn't fixed soon.
