Can we stop believing everything the media is saying?

People are p*ssed, I get it. You want Ole gone, understandable. But can we please stop believing all the garbage the media is coming up with? I am no Pogba fan but good on him for speaking out against the innane news that was "breaking" yesterday saying he won't sign a new contract if Ole is here.

Also, some of the news coming out in the last 2 days is clear garbage. The media know everyone wants to believe the worst about Ole at this moment and are just piling on knowing people will lap it up.

You may not like him as a manager, but please remember to respect the man, and don't post or discuss some clear nonsense being bandied about.

This younger generation and critical thinking are indeed mutually exclusive.

Always loved those 'sources'.
Close to the club, high sources, close to the players.
I know a mate who's uncle's aunt heard that her friend's brother works at Carrington.

And he says that Pogba refused to shake hands with Ole this morning.

It’s particularly irritating when they craft a story to fit fan narrative and then the same fans driving that narrative use it to reinforce their already entrenched views.

The press are just seagulls feeding off the trawler.

People hang on their every word, especially at times like these and allow them to whip you into a frenzy.

They haven’t a fecking scooby doo what’s going on and who we are looking at as a replacement.

Our Yankee owners probably still haven’t seen the Liverpool result

The media don't know as much as they let on. Monday proved that. Ultimately Joel Glazer makes all the decisions and he has no ties to the English media. All the media have done is speculate.

I'm pretty sure journalists check the Caf after they publish these stories to make sure they've hit the right notes.

I don't think any sane person would be losing sleep over what Danny Mills is saying..and my point is not about their opinions but rather about "exclusives" such as the Pogba refusing to play under Ole garbage.

Mills has to be the most biased miserable cnut on TV. Right up there with Beglin.

Mostly because at this point they'll just parrot out what the people want to hear. But yeah I find it funny when people demand accountability from our board and manager but still trust people in the media who have shown time and again they have absolutely no accountability.

I don't think I've ever read a tweet alluding to some inside information and believed it.

It's clearly legit. Too much smoke, too many different journos, multiple sources.

I believe basically all of it.

I agree we shouldn't believe everything you read or hear, however the club themselves amidst all the speculation have kept quiet.

So if the club aren't feeding us anything then the media are more than happy to take their place in feeding information however truthful it may or may not be.

The last 48 hours in particular have been quite relentless.

The vast majority of it is likely just rubbish.

Not at all. We are an embarrassment as a club. Yes the media milk it, but to be on the back page as a main headline with someone saying we are shite. Dark days

We're on the back page regardless. We're the biggest club in the land.

Same shit happened when Mourinho was on the edge. Player leaks, board leaks, and even pro Mourinho camp leaks.
Back then all this attention and drama was described as creating a “toxic atmosphere” around the club. It’s almost as if it doesn’t fecking matter who the manager is, if shit hits the fan and results and performances take a nose dive there’ll be a “toxic atmosphere” around the club regardless.

The funny thing is, we saw the same reports although not to this extreme last season.

Bruno fell out with Ole at half time against Spurs, Maguire and Bruno had a bust up, players think training isn't good enough.

Notice how the press mainly use the same name, Pogba isn't happy. It is an easy way to get the fans all riled up, sell headlines.

You have to love it when people acting all smart because they didnt get fooled by those reports, when in reality those rumors and reports are just opposite of what they think. Turn those reports for 180 and you will be eating all that shit up with ez.
