Read on Twitter
To answer a few questions about my fan channel Tweet and to put it to bed once and for all. My final word on it.
Since the beginning of last season, i have seen things from fan channels with huge followings that don't sit right with me. I have seen, scams, racism/xenophobia,

And what can only be described as hate speech. I am of the belief that if Twitter has a responsibility to what goes on here, it's only fair they are held to the same standard. I don't expect a fan channel to show a joke about the manager "smiling like a sex offender" and the guy
holding the mic giggling. Not when they also have access to the club. Next time you are in front of Ole, tell him the joke, see if he laughs. As i don't follow or watch them (I only see what people post on here) I cannot imagine what other gems i've missed.
I also believe that if i am to call out the Glazers for making money off the club's name, i would be a hypocrite if i didn't say the same to them. I've seen made up transfer rumours, then videos slating the club for not signing the player, plus the general clickbait and division.
Be it touting (you know who you are) or selling dodgy kits or match day experiences, click bait stories, the result is the same. Money still goes from the club/fans to someone else, the only difference is the Glazers are doing it on an industrial level.
I also believe that when a fan channel ties up with media companies, they no longer are fan channels, but another copororate entity making money through clicks. Negativity, division, fear sells. This is why poiticians bang on about how worse it will be under the other guy.
Not the good things under them. Just look at the Sun's latest hit piece on Mason for this. How many of you re-Tweeted, mentioned it? See, it sells. Even i did it. Over the years and the older fans will back me up on this, there have been a few trying to make money off the clubs
name, they have been roundly called out. I would like to believe that as a fanbase, we don't do this stuff to our own. If money is involved, you have a right to know the history/motives of the person you are giving it to.
If you disagree, fine i won't hold it against you. If you watch them, good for you. Continue doing so. If you think i may have a point, tell them to be better.
The fanbase is divided enough, without help from media companies based in London.
