The elite clubs agenda is going to be pushed regardless to satisfy perceived viewership/listenership figures, almost like political propaganda. At least that is the theory. Part of it is the blanket coverage they get, and another is maintaining the long-established narrative, to maintain the pecking order and put other clubs "in their place" as it were. There is probably a degree of smug satisfaction to be had as an RS/other fan in this.
What I have always objected to is the even more blatant favouritism on the subscription channels - surely in that context my money is as good as the next guys? In Martinez' first season I remember BT doing a feature on clubs in contention for the Top 4 with these banners they use in the studio - we were omitted completely and I can't see that as being an oversight by some trainee.
The other element of course is the clubs response. In the Kenwright era we liked to portray ourselves as the equivalent of everybody's favourite uncle, that same uncle being trapped in a 1980s timewarp and ridiculed accordingly behind his back. Such sentimental nonsense as "The Peoples Club" etc.
Football is a tribal game - you're a threat if you have bags of money and/or are winning. People don't like threats. We threaten nothing or nobody, and our coverage is a mixture of sanctimonious platitudes and pats on the back for doing nothing to worry the elite.
Worryingly, one of my biggest concerns is that Moshiri is seemingly not media savvy. A year into his time here almost and I don't see signs of the external narrative changing. What would you expect with Kenwright's people still in place. Whilst he may have been attempting to appeal to a bigger audience with the Jim White interview, in hindsight I felt it was inappropriate for the most senior figure at Everton to use what is essentially a tabloid forum to speak. He could have designated someone else to perform that role. It was belittling, and again only served to remind us of where we stand currently. John W Henry or Daniel Levy would never in a million years speak in that type of forum, and then you have the likes of Abramovich who maintains an almost regal public silence.
