David Bernstein, the former chief executive of the Football Association and European Super League founder Manchester City, has delivering a withering assessment of his old club's involvement in the plans that have rocked football.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4, Bernstein said he felt ashamed at being a City supporter and compared his own feelings to those of Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher at how they responded to their teams, Manchester United and Liverpool, signing up to the plans.
He also said that major clubs, especially those with the history of United and Liverpool, have a responsibility to behave appropriately for the good of the sport.
