Most English football clubs are ignored by the media and so alienating the majority of fans. Ironically, tv still has national coverage with MotD and EFL highlights that remains relatively neutral, covering all clubs.
Everything else is driven by social media dominated by clicks. The anti City narrative pushed by the WhatsApp Group and others, supported by shill and bot comments is cheap and easy. CFG and Manchester City is fighting against a pack who have had it all their own way but see the writing is on the wall.
Was it not Liverpool who invited coronavirus by pressing for the game against Atleti to go ahead with supporters, assuming a win and putting football first? City return from London, presumably with players testing positive from the more contagious and virulent strain of Covid-19 not yet prevalent in NW England.
For some reason Liverpool was allowed to have fans in the grounds unlike other local areas. London and the South East have even stricter lockdown rules than in Manchester.
Yet the scouse propaganda machine ignores the reason for the postponed Everton game is about safety under EPL and Government guidelines. It is twisted to claim it was City trying to gain an advantage.
This is a Manchester City who were most disadvantaged by the lack of a pre-season and have the most congested seasonal fixture list.
The narrative is beyond pathetic. Total desperation that needs to be called out and myth peddlers exposed. They are already starting to die on their feet and will not be bailed out by the Americans or Qataris.
The fear grows. More and more the negative stories about City without substance designed to create negativity and reinforce the positions of the elite and history clubs as the bearers of all that needs to be preserved for the good of football. They will lose the long game that City are fighting.
There is a bigger story here of manipulation and corruption that will come out as we saw with UEFA and FIFA and is not yet finished.
