Thanks for posting this. I had previously tried to give David the benefit of the doubt but actually hearing him speak like this gives a different perspective.
What is he on about? Where are these divisions about the ownership amongst City fans? To be fair though, when we had Swales there weren't really issues about LGBTQ, although to be fair in those days it was mainly just LG. However, there was a division in the fan base then!!
Even allowing for undoubtedly dubious editing he again is allowing himself to be used as a vehicle for crap. There's a lot of fans very upset by the ESL and the fact City even joined and I was furious. There's others who think the ownership model detracts from a focus on City and Manchester but these are normal fanbase complaints about actions taken. There's no move towards ousting Sheikh Mansour.
The LGBTQ cause and acceptance is proceeding at different speeds all over the world layered over over by centuries of societal, cultural and religious drivers and interests. To simply compare the UAE against UK standards like for like is not correct and patronising. If David feels this issue so strongly then he should be campaigning to get rid of the ownership rather than sitting there earning money in such a hypocritical way.
