themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-07--Loose Women receives 261 Ofcom complaints after debating Chrissy Teigen

The chat show Loose Women has come under fire for airing a debate about Chrissy Teigen 's decision to share photos taken in hospital after suffering a miscarriage .
The ITV chat show prompted 261 complaints to the broadcasting regulator Ofcom after the panellists discussed the American model 's decision to share a series of raw pictures after her baby died .
Last week Chrissy , 34 , bravely shared the heartbreaking news that she and her husband John Legend were grieving the loss of their son Jack , saying they were in 'deep pain . '
She posted black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as she mourned the passing of Jack and of the couple holding their tiny baby .
On Thursday 's Loose Women the panellists debated the decision to post the pictures with Carol McGiffin saying she felt 'uncomfortable ' and questioned if they should have been shared and Jane Moore also questioned the timing so soon after their baby 's death .
While the panel were sympathetic to her loss , viewers felt it 'shameful ' that their opinions on the subject should have been voiced .
`` I know she 's put them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a lot of followers and fans who care deeply for what 's going on with her whole pregnancy , '' said Carol .
`` But I just felt like 'this is not really something I should be witnessing . '
`` I 'm not judging her and I 'm not saying she 's wrong to do it but I just think it 's such a private thing . ''
She added : `` I question whether there are things that you should n't have to share on social media . ''
Viewers reacted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to 'cancel ' the show .
One said : `` Chrissy ’ s post has more than likely brought so much comfort to people going through the same .
Another tweeted : `` Quite frankly @ McGiff we do n't care how uncomfortable Chrissy Teigen 's public grief made you , what she done will help so many women and to shame her is disgusting .
`` Loose Women is so outdated , cancel the show . ''
Another wrote : `` Sickening that Loose Women find it acceptable to 'debate ' whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to announce their heartbreaking news .
`` Shouldn ’ t have even been mentioned as to whether anyone else would do the same , it ’ s their heartbreak . ''
And another wrote : `` Think @ loosewomen should be ashamed for the 'debate ' they aired today .
`` Four women slamming someone for posting their baby loss online because it 'made them feel uncomfortable ' .
`` Such an irresponsible thing to air to potentially THOUSANDS of lonely , isolated women and couples .
`` What Chrissy and John posted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ insight into what thousands of couples go through .
`` It gives people something to relate too , makes them feel brave to speak openly about their loss.. and then @ loosewomen come along and say it should 'be kept private . '
'' Chrissy wrote in a moving statement alongside the photos : `` We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about , the kind of pain we ’ ve never felt before .
“ We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bags and bags of blood transfusions .
It just wasn ’ t enough.
” She added : “ We never decide on our babies ’ names until the last possible moment after they ’ re born , just before we leave the hospital .
But we , for some reason , had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack .
So he will always be Jack to us .
Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family , and he will be , forever .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications , that we couldn ’ t give you the home you needed to survive .
We will always love you.
” The TV personality thanked everyone for their “ positive energy , thoughts and prayers ” and said her family will now spend time grieving .
She said : “ We are so grateful for the life we have , for our wonderful babies Luna and Miles , for all the amazing things we ’ ve been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can ’ t be full of sunshine .
`` On this darkest of days , we will grieve , we will cry our eyes out .
But we will hug and love each other harder and get through it.
” She later tweeted : `` Driving home from the hospital with no baby .
How can this be real . ''
Chrissy and singing superstar John , 41 , have spoken publicly about their fertility issues and their third child was the first conceived without IVF .
John shared his wife ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you , Jack '' with five black heart emojis .

Last week Chrissy, 34, bravely shared the heartbreaking news that she and her husband John Legend were grieving the loss of their son Jack, saying they were in 'deep pain.'
She posted black and white photos showing herself in tears as she mourned the passing of Jack and of the couple holding their tiny baby.
On Thursday's Loose Women the panellists debated the decision to post the pictures with Carol McGiffin saying she felt 'uncomfortable' and questioned if they should have been shared and Jane Moore also questioned the timing so soon after their baby's death.
While the panel were sympathetic to her loss, viewers felt it 'shameful' that their opinions on the subject should have been voiced.
"I know she's put them up there and I know she has a lot of followers and fans who care deeply for what's going on with her whole pregnancy," said Carol.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-07--Garcia 'offered to take pay cut to force Barca transfer' and more rumours

Manchester City defender Eric Garcia was prepared to take a pay cut in order to facilitate his move to Barcelona this summer , according to reports .
Transfer deadline day came and went on Monday without much excitement from City , with their activity limited to just one permanent departure and a couple of loan exits .
The biggest story of the day was what did n't happen , as Barcelona did not sign Garcia and he will remain in Manchester for at least the rest of the season .
Pep Guardiola announced that the centre-back had decided against signing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with his current deal set to expire in 2021 , some months ago and it quickly became clear that a return to the Camp Nou was his likely destination .
The Catalonians were keen to bring him to the club this summer , as their need to strengthen at the back was made abundantly clear in their 8-2 demolition at the hands of Bayern Munich last season .
However , City wanted a fee in a similar region to what they paid to Valencia for Ferran Torres , another player with just a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a cash strapped Barca did not meet the valuation .
While it 's expected that Garcia will re-join Barca next summer on a free , Mundo Deportivo , via InsideFutbol , claim he was eager to make the move in the past window .
It 's reported that Garcia offered to take a cut to his wages at Barcelona , if it helped force through the move this summer .
Barcelona , it 's added , appreciated the offer but were n't willing to offer any more money to City .
Elsewhere , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sign Facundo Pellistri earlier in the summer .
The teenager signed for United on deadline day and , AS suggest , City had an offer rejected for him in July because it did not include a sell on clause .
In contrast they report United agreed Penarol would receive 20 per cent of the profits from a future sale of the Uruguayan .

Manchester City defender Eric Garcia was prepared to take a pay cut in order to facilitate his move to Barcelona this summer, according to reports.
Transfer deadline day came and went on Monday without much excitement from City, with their activity limited to just one permanent departure and a couple of loan exits.
The biggest story of the day was what didn't happen, as Barcelona did not sign Garcia and he will remain in Manchester for at least the rest of the season.
Pep Guardiola announced that the centre-back had decided against signing a new contract at the Etihad, with his current deal set to expire in 2021, some months ago and it quickly became clear that a return to the Camp Nou was his likely destination.
The Catalonians were keen to bring him to the club this summer, as their need to strengthen at the back was made abundantly clear in their 8-2 demolition at the hands of Bayern Munich last season.
However, City wanted a fee in a similar region to what they paid to Valencia for Ferran Torres, another player with just a year left on his contract, and a cash strapped Barca did not meet the valuation.
While it's expected that Garcia will re-join Barca next summer on a free, Mundo Deportivo, via InsideFutbol, claim he was eager to make the move in the past window.
It's reported that Garcia offered to take a cut to his wages at Barcelona, if it helped force through the move this summer. Barcelona, it's added, appreciated the offer but weren't willing to offer any more money to City.
Elsewhere, City reportedly saw a bid rejected to sign Facundo Pellistri earlier in the summer.
The teenager signed for United on deadline day and, AS suggest, City had an offer rejected for him in July because it did not include a sell on clause.
In contrast they report United agreed Penarol would receive 20 per cent of the profits from a future sale of the Uruguayan.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-07--Man City chief executive sends message about fans returning

Manchester City 's CEO is hopeful that fans be allowed into stadiums as soon as possible given they can be accommodated with social distancing in place .
It was expected that top-level sport would welcome supporters back into grounds at the beginning of October , and significant effort had gone into ensuring that this would be possible .
However , the UK government introduced stricter restrictions on socialising and the decision has been taken to indefinitely postpone the return to any kind of normality .
Ferran Soriano believes that modern stadiums have everything in place to welcome fans but admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unrealistic to expect to know when they can any time soon .
`` The number one challenge is no fans in the stadium and the reality is that we do n't know how long it will last , '' Soriano said , peaking at Leaders in Sport ’ s online forum , LeadersWeek.direct .
`` We can speculate but the reality is that you or I would be talking two weeks ago and would say something , this week something else and next week we do n't know .
We have to assume @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prepared to get them in as soon as possible .
`` From our perspective , obviously safety is the number one thing that we care about but we believe that modern stadiums of today have all the tools necessary to allow fans in and still respect social distancing , so we hope that this is going to happen . ''
City took the decision to suspend season ticket sales for this season , after refunding all of the games that people could not attend last season .
The view of the club is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the pandemic after this one though , even if the whole of the current campaign is still disrupted .
`` The way we look at this is the Covid crisis is going to affect two seasons , 19/20 and 20/21 are called the 'Covid seasons ' , '' said Soriano .
`` Using a football analogy , we are at half time .
We have dealt well with 19/20 .
It 's been tough but we 've taken good decisions and we 've been resilient and we 've done pretty well .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we face new challenges and things might get worse before they get better but we 're convinced that it will get better and our working assumption is that season 21/22 is going to be a normal season .
Maybe it will be a new normal , but not a Covid crisis season . ''

However, the UK government introduced stricter restrictions on socialising and the decision has been taken to indefinitely postpone the return to any kind of normality.
Ferran Soriano believes that modern stadiums have everything in place to welcome fans but admitted that the regularly-changing guidelines have left it unrealistic to expect to know when they can any time soon.
"The number one challenge is no fans in the stadium and the reality is that we don't know how long it will last," Soriano said, peaking at Leaders in Sport’s online forum, LeadersWeek.direct.
"We can speculate but the reality is that you or I would be talking two weeks ago and would say something, this week something else and next week we don't know. We have to assume there won't be fans but be prepared to get them in as soon as possible.

City took the decision to suspend season ticket sales for this season, after refunding all of the games that people could not attend last season.

"The way we look at this is the Covid crisis is going to affect two seasons, 19/20 and 20/21 are called the 'Covid seasons'," said Soriano.
"Using a football analogy, we are at half time. We have dealt well with 19/20. It's been tough but we've taken good decisions and we've been resilient and we've done pretty well.
"Now there is a second half and we face new challenges and things might get worse before they get better but we're convinced that it will get better and our working assumption is that season 21/22 is going to be a normal season. Maybe it will be a new normal, but not a Covid crisis season."

Berbatov believes Solskjaer is still right for the job at the moment but insists results must improve or else United may be left with no other choice further down the line.
"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has taken some criticism recently, I can understand why the odds say he is the most likely manager to leave his post, especially if they continue down this road," Berbatov told Betfair.
"The pressure on him will only continue to grow, and if they continue to fail to win points, the point will likely come where action is taken. I believe he is still fine for the job personally, and we will have to see."
Meanwhile, Berbatov also added his thoughts on the links between former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and United.
"To me, it is amazing that Mauricio Pochettino is available for this job, one of football's finest coaches in my opinion," the Bulgarian added. "You can say maybe he waited for this job, but that is very risky for a manager to do, and I cannot believe another club hasn't snapped him up. Pochettino may be 'the man', but at some stage, they were all 'the man' - Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, all were the next saviour at one stage.
"For United fans, I would say that every single person connected to the team in any way are all suffering. The ones that will express their feelings the loudest will be the fans, and I can understand this. United are led by people who want success for the club, and the glory days will return, of that there is no doubt - just when that is, is the question."

Nicole returns to our screens on the 12th series of the hit reality show starting on Monday.
Nicole, who joined the Real Housewives line-up during the 11th series which ended in June, is the director of transportation, trucking and railroad company NTS Premier Services and Neon PT personal training in Alderley Edge.
Her husband Joe is a former goalkeeper for West Ham and his father is the late Manchester United goalkeeper Les Sealey.
Nicole was an instant hit with fans of the ITVBe show with her driven attitude.
She hinted back in July that we might see wedding bells on the show after she accepted Joe's proposal to renew their wedding vows after 12 years.
