Chapter 873: Manchester City's Counterattack (Part II)

Manchester City CEO Gary Cook stepped up at this time, lashing out at The Times and David Prescott. [A lot of good novels], the latest chapter interview wĂšn:.

"Young: I've seen the hardest-working, most ethic player. He's also the most 'outstanding' star on the planet at the moment, and there isn't anybody! Who can win the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year at the age of 21?! Young did it, and if the achievements of such a great star are insignificant, I don't know what kind of achievements can be considered 'outstanding', then maybe they have to be judged by Martian standards? I don't think there's anything to blame for this, some people just look at people with 'colored' glasses, they have no bottom line, no discipline......

In the future, Manchester City club owner Mansour, who has rarely 'appeared' and seems very mysterious, actually 'took time' to support Yang Fan.

'Young did a great job, he made a huge difference for City, it was a pleasure to watch him play, and I was thinking about whether or not to give him a raise......

Ha Yang Fan's weekly salary of 400,000 pounds has long been the first salary of football players in the world, and it has been controversial, and now, the owner of Manchester City actually took the initiative to say that he would consider giving Yang Fan a raise! Not to mention whether Manchester City will give Yang Fan a raise, Sheikh Mansour is to use this attitude to tell everyone, Manchester City is very satisfied with Yang Fan's expression, and they resolutely support Yang Fan.

※※※※※※※

Manchester City FC's support and support for Yang Fan did not end here, and then Manchester City FC officially announced that it would not be interviewed by any reporters affiliated with The Times, and Manchester City's training base would no longer welcome all Times reporters. The Times' reporters, staff and editors will all be listed as persona non grata by Manchester City FC and will not cooperate. Unless the Times can apologize and explain the smear against Yang Fan, the decision will be carried out forever.

In a word, Manchester City FC announced the ban on The Times! Although the ban they announced was conditional, as long as the Times apologized and explained David Prescott's actions, the two sides could continue to cooperate, otherwise they would refuse to make contact......

However, when Manchester City FC announced this decision, it really shocked many people.

For the sake of a player, a media outlet is blocked, this kind of thing...... It's nothing more than imagination, and knowing that they are facing The Times shocks everyone even more. [A lot of good novels]

What is the existence of the Times: The Times was born in 1785 by John Walter. At the time of its birth, the name of the newspaper was TheDailyUniversalRegister). On January 1, 1788, it was officially changed to its current name, The Times. John Walter was also the first editor-in-chief of The Times. He resigned in 1803 and passed the title of publisher and editor-in-chief to his son, John Walter Jr. Although John Walter was imprisoned for 16 months for defamation, it was during John Walter's tenure that The Times first extended its news coverage to other European countries outside the United Kingdom, especially France. This has earned The Times a high reputation in political and financial circles.

As a comprehensive daily newspaper, The Times focuses on politics, science, literature, art, and more, and has earned a good reputation in almost every field. The Times was profitable in its early days, and the profit margins were so large that few newspapers could compete with it in terms of quality or finance. It is for this reason that the Times earns more people at The Times, including reporters, editors and columnists, than those who work for other newspapers.

"The Times" is even regarded as the mouthpiece of British politics, what does this mean, "People's Daily" everyone knows that it is China's party newspaper, although the political meaning of the Times is not as strong as that of "People's Daily", but his position in the hearts of the British is equivalent to that of "People's Daily" to Chinese.

Therefore, Manchester City actually announced that they were going to ban the Times, which really shocked everyone.

Manchester City FC was quick to tell everyone that they were not just talking, and they were definitely not trying to scare The Times and David Prescott.

The next day, outside the big 'door' at the Carrington training base in Manchester, David Prescott watched as other reporters entered, but he himself was turned away.

"Why don't you let me in?" Prescott yelled at the security guard, with an angry face, as a journalist, as an uncrowned king, especially as a reporter for The Times, where he went, he was not highly respected, when had he ever been treated like this?

Face David. Prescott's roar, the security guards sneered one by one, they are Manchester City employees, Manchester City's football 'fans', and Yang Fan's die-hard supporters, they have long been dissatisfied with this famous 'Yang Fan Black', but because of their work duties, they have been able to watch this guy enter and leave the Carrington training base freely, and there is nowhere to go, and now it is okay, the club has declared David Prescott persona non grata, and they are naturally happy to do so.

That's all, David. Prescott ate a closed-door soup.

He was so angry that he gritted his teeth that he was about to rush back, he had to work overtime to write his second battle paper, and he had to make public the humiliation he had suffered at the Carrington training base.

However, he received a call from the editor-in-chief of the sports section of The Times, in which his boss told him to report back immediately.

David Prescott spat on the 'door' of Manchester City's Carrington training base, and rushed back stupidly, he wanted to report Manchester City to the newspaper, win the support of the entire newspaper, and fight with Manchester City and Yang Fan.

※※※※※※※

David. Prescott rushed back to the company, and in the editor-in-chief's office, the editor-in-chief told David Prescott about the contents of the Manchester City club's statement.

"What do you think about this?"

"This is a naked and 'naked' threat! It is a threat!" David Prescott said angrily, "It is unforgivable that they dare to threaten The Times! This is a violation of the media's fair 'sex', and we must not give in! We must fight against them." ”

The editor-in-chief snorted, and he could hear David Prescott's concept of stealing, which was linking Manchester City's accusations against David Prescott to The Times, this cunning guy. However, the editor-in-chief still felt that his subordinate was right; as the editor-in-chief of a certain section of the "Times," he had always had a feeling of superiority, and when did a club dare to threaten the "Times"? This trend cannot be longed! This rampant momentum must be severely cracked down.

The Times decided to strike back.

However, before they could fight back, the real boss of The Times, an executive director of the newspaper group, called.

"David Prescott is your man?" asked the executive director.

"Yes, boss. The editor-in-chief said in a low voice.

"That's it, you let this person apologize and explain to Manchester City and Yang Fan. Well, that's it. ”

※※※※※※※

Hanging up the phone, the editor-in-chief was still a little stunned.

"Editor-in-chief, what's wrong?" asked David Prescott, and then he saw the editor-in-chief staring at him.

Although I don't know why this happened, the executive directors called, and the sports editor-in-chief didn't dare to listen, so he told David Prescott that he had to publish a public apology letter to Yang Fan and Manchester City in the next issue of the newspaper.

"Why?" Prescott was surprised, you just said you supported me, why did it change in a blink of an eye.

"Your personal behavior has caused our newspaper to be in trouble, and it has also affected the image of the newspaper, so you can write a letter of apology and ask so much to do?" Because he suddenly received a call from his boss, the editor-in-chief was not in a good mood, so his tone was naturally not very good. Obviously, he didn't understand how Manchester City could have so much energy to influence the executive directors and make the people above respond so quickly. So although he couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that he had to do it, and he could only do it well, not mess it up.

Now, the quickest way to put out the fire is to put David first. Prescott threw it out to take the blame and kill City's anger.

As for his previous thoughts that the Times was offended by Manchester City, he had long forgotten about it, and now at this time, it is important to listen to the orders of the big boss first and appease the feelings of the Manchester City people, and the ghost knows what means the Manchester City people used to make the newspaper executives personally inquire about the matter.

"Do you know who called?" said the editor-in-chief.

"I don't know. "David. Prescott shook his head.

"It's Mr. Philip. The editor-in-chief said.

"Mr. Philip?" Prescott asked, looking surprised, "Mr. Executive Director?"

"Who else could he be. The editor-in-chief patted David. Prescott said on his shoulder, "So, you just do it, write an apology letter and send it to tomorrow's paper, and this matter will be over, you see......" He was not at all worried that this subordinate would be disobedient, but he did not notice David. Prescott's fists clenched, and his eyes became 'gloomy', which was an angry reaction......
