United sponsors Aeroflot and Emirates NBD are majority state owned (in the case of ENDB it's Dubai, not UAE, government owned). Saudi Telecom Co is 70% owned by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund. Another 13.69% is owned by Saudi government social security organisations. So if City are being beaten with a stick for the Abu Dhabi connection so should the rags for taking millions from these organisations.

Any rag who bleats on about City receiving 'oil money' should have Gulf Oil (official global lubricant partner ffs), Commercial Bank of Qatar, Emirates NBD and Saudi Telecom Co thrown back at them.

Gulf Oil.. is originally American, hence why I didn't include it in my list of 'interesting' sponsors... it appears to be owned by an Indian holding parent company now, though it's headquarters for the 'Gulf Oil' bit are still in the US.

Despite the facts there are so many rags who still insist that all our revenue comes from UAE companies owned by relatives of Sheikh Mansour which, by their extended logic (or lack thereof), makes City permanently in breach of FFP. They also insist City cook the books because there's no way our revenue legitimately exceeds £500m. When I tell them that as a privately owned company City aren't even obliged to make the accounts public and if the club wanted to hide anything they simply wouldn't publish the accounts at all they look confused. When I compare City's transparency to United's lack of transparency with secret accounts in Delaware and the Cayman Islands they struggle for a comeback beyond rinsing and repeating oil money, etc.

What do they think Magnier and McManus’ “99 Questions” were about?

From dodgy transfer dealings? to illegal agent activity? to questionable sponsorship deals? to links to bookmakers? to what was said when the managers are behind closed doors? to teams who have nothing to play for letting United win?... fuck knows what dirty dealings were going down at that club!... The private investigator found NINETY NINE things they found that Ferguson and Gill were doing or had done that they wanted answers to and they refused to answer them!

Corrupt to the core, that club!

I think I am correct in saying that Gulf Oil have something like eight affiliate companies one of which is Gulf Oil Oil Middle East ltd. Does that count for adding fuel to the fire? btw pun intended I'm here all week, try the veal.

Gulf Oil Middle East is a UAE company based in Dubai. It is a subsidiary of Gulf Oil International owned by the Indian Hinduja Group. Neither company are anything to do with the original US company of the same name that was taken over by BP and Chevron. Hinduja have a licensing agreement with Chevron to use the Gulf brand.
 
I can’t see what good investment and a buy out will do for these, or for any club Infact. Call it football snobbery, but when you have what we have, who we have as manager and the players we have, who can top that? It’s like we are at the pinnacle of what’s on offer in the world of football, which must be disheartening for the rest. Say this £850m takeover goes through and a load of money is available, who do they go for? Manager wise I mean. Which players will see them and that manager as a better prospect than us and Pep?

If I was a fan of any other club, any takeover must seem pretty pointless, given what we are doing and with whom.

I’ll add Liverpool to that too. Love or hate him, Klopp is in that elite category of manager. So that’s two they can’t attract straight away, with those two just happening to be managers of their closest rivals. United I mean.
