It is one thing writing to a proper newspaper or broadcaster - sending to Goldbridge? So, I still really doubt it.
Goldbridge reach is unfortunately huge from a social media and YouTube perspective.
- 2m Youtube subs via United Stand
- Another youtube account with 1.1m subs via That Football
- another youtuber account with 300k subs via Mark Goldbridge
- The combined views on all his youtube accounts exceeds 2bn views
- an X account with 2m followers
- another X account with 800k followers
- He is probably the biggest Football youtuber out there with AFTV (Fabrizio Romano for example gets less views)
Those are huge numbers when it comes to social media and YouTube. Not to mention the amount of views/engagements his videos reach on other youtube channels + cuts/clips on twitter.
He has a combined following as big as Ornstein when you think about it with 400-500k engagements on average per tweet. His tweets about City average over 1m engagements per tweet (im pretty sure he's deleted a few tweets by the looks of it). Not to mention he now has a show on TalkSport.
If anything he is the exact type of person the club should be targeting because his legal backing would be severely less than say going after Sky Sports and his reach is just as damaging if not more because generally youtubers target audience is for people between the ages 10-25 who are generally more impressionable.
IMO he would have been one of the top candidates to target if City were to go after media personalities (IF)
