Saw someone posted earlier about Twitter bots supporting the esl - This reads so tongue in cheek but the volume of tweets exactly the same seems so off

NEVER thought I’d say this...Gary Neville has more balls than my Club MCFC...I’m deeply ashamed to be a City fan, well, no I’m not..but this ISN'T City anymore, and I think we all know that now...gutted.
See Nevilles passioned speech below here.
You mean the Gary Neville who owns a lower tier football team that will be hurt by this proposal?
The governing body is corrupt, repeatedly tried to screw us over, and has blocked the creation of the ESL. We simply had no alternative other than to create our own.The old system was far from perfect and it granted us tremendous competitive advantage but it was still competitive. The task before was extremely tough for any team but it has now changed to impossible. Without the founding club nonsense I think a lot of City fans could have squared this but of course the founding club nonsense is the basis of the entire escapade

So to make this clear; you are perfectly happy with a Champions League that has been putting into place an unofficial top four for years, perfectly happy with having a billionaire owner artificially inflate the club competitively through investment, perfectly happy with that owner being of extremely questionable moral character and being the Deputy Prime Minister in a state whose laws are from the 15th century in many social areas, and perfectly happy with us essentially bending the UEFA rules on investment to every possible degree?
All of that you'd continue on. But moving to a different European competition, now THAT'S your line? Not the fact that we had a Gulf state put a billion pounds into us to ensure our "competitiveness"? That didn't hurt the domestic league?
You're overreacting and I think that eventually you and many others will come to your senses on this whole thing. You might not like it but you'll get over it enough to continue.
Correct me if i am wrong but isnt this the first time a place in a competition will be based on something other than sporting achievements?
Think the issue most people have is that 15 clubs have decided that they deserve to be at the summit of world football from now until eternity because they currently have the most money/worldwide fans.
They don't give a stuff about us, we're nothing to them. This isn't my club.

Yep im totally with you. But i cant just stop loving the shirt. Owners come n go. The badge remains.I understand you want to continue supporting the club you love. I just can't do it if this proposal gets the green light.
How many nails will it take before it's the final one? Enough is enough now for me. I'm disgusted with Manchester City even more disgusted they don't have a set of balls to release a statement to us fans to heart of the club.
It's disgusting.
id never get the same fix watching another team.
its all very sad isnt it

It certainly looks like the wrong call at the moment. But what was the alternative? The UEFA CL proposals are terrible and also anti-competitive and damaging to the PL. I am hoping that negotiation on both sides comes up with a more palatable option. The cartel clubs were going it alone mostly because of greed but also because UEFA is not fit for purpose and is riddled with corruption. The broadcast and sponsor deals done by UEFA and FIFA have been bent for years with officials lining their own pockets. It is not a tenable organisation to govern football. We know that more than most.Yes, I partly agree re Ceferin and the warnings and he made the wrong call on that but I think City have equally made the wrong call on the SL, it seems to me to be a strategic error of judgement to be placing trust in the same clubs who've spent 10 years trying to shaft us.
