I'm a firm believer that no poster should be banned. Instead they should be put on ignore to everyone so they keep posting and be none the wiser.It’s called the ignore function.

But aside from that, vibes are pretty good?Basically the players hate Martial, they’re starting to hate Rashford, they think Amrabat, Antony, Hojlund, Mount and Weghorst are shit and don’t rate ETH or his tactics.
SAF banned lot of journalists, about time club did this.Yep. I'm absolutely fine with ripping "the people in front of me" a new one like SAF did in that clip, but preventing the press to join a press conference just isn't right. What do you expect happens? They'll just write angry stuff and you open up the new angle that you aren't dealing with the press in the right way.
No wonder were taking a standBasically the players hate Martial, they’re starting to hate Rashford, they think Amrabat, Antony, Hojlund, Mount and Weghorst are shit and don’t rate ETH or his tactics.

Pretty sure the bans are a big enough clueNo denial that there is some truth to the articles though.

And I don't think that was the right thing to do even for him.SAF banned lot of journalists, about time club did this.
Stories were true but the club didn't like they weren't asked for a comment before publishing them?Tweet

It's more that the reason is we don't like it but we can't just say that. Media know exactly what they are doing - united make them ££££ when things go badly - United also know this and are finally looking to try and stop the onslaught.Stories were true but the club didn't like they weren't asked for a comment before publishing them?
or
The stories were not true and they should have confirmed before publishing them?
Which one is it?
A valid reason I suppose, but the club's PR would always 'contextualise' a situation to be better than what it actually is. I think this move probably draws more attention to the journalists and ETH may get even worse press from those involved or other journalists that think it's over the top.Tweet

It’s the only logical road to go down.I realise Greenwood is a bad-egg but isn't this overcorrecting just a little?
I have no problem with it. In fact, I find the whole press conference exercise excruciating. The managers don't want to do it and the journos ask nonsensical questions geared more towards stiring the pot than getting any actual information about players or tactics.It's more that the reason is we don't like it but we can't just say that.

Fergie called and says British sports journalists were always pratsOh for the days of proper journalists, rather than todays hacks who just want to write sensationalism for the social media generation.
If the players have already turned against ETH just after the season they had last year, they need to be the first ones to leave.No.
I think the recent stories of player unrest towards EtH are true and they’re getting ahead of it.
It’s no surprise that every journalist that reported on it are banned.
Christ, how has Luckhurst survived this long? He's an absolute doom mongering idiot.Fully expect Luckhurst to rehash this piece he did on SAF years ago.

Their access to press conferences is a media privilege given to them for their work in journalism. We shouldn't let them abuse that privilege to the detriment of the team. They can still write whatever they want, we just have no obligation to lend them the credibility of being a first hand source.Yep.

Luckhurst's reaction to being banned should let you know it isn't silly. They write make up stories without contacting the club, the shit stirrers. Good on the club for finally taking some action.Seems like a desperate move from United. Don't like what they write? Deal with it, make your arguments against their writings- don't ban the press. Pretty low from the club and i think it will backfire.
Surprised by the massive support this silly move is getting from the fans.
haha
What makes you think it’s true?No.

Weird photo, have they banned Ten Hag as well?Tweet

Not if they lie.Banning the media because you don't like what they write is silly.
Agreed.Banning the media because you don't like what they write is silly.
Incredibly small time if true.A United spokesperson claims the ban has been imposed as the club was not approached for comment on a multiply-sourced story that Ten Hag is losing the confidence of some players over his tactics and signings. United insist they "regret" the ban.
United did not impose bans following last month's story that some United players were starting to doubt Ten Hag.
What article?Luckhurst’s article today is genuinely incredible.
