Lol Nick Harris just blocked me on Twitter for tweeting.

“#clownaward”

in response to his latest all our cups should come with a * and therefore will be rendered meaningless . Hence ironically validating his reward

This Nick Harris chappy sounds like one seriously pathetic individual.
 
Add me to the list of people blocked by that shithouse Harris. I wouldn't mind but I wasn't even addressing him in my latest reply - I was responding to some bitter Rag twat!

Anyway, just regarding these e-mails - assuming they are genuine, unless I'm missing something then surely it's no-one's business where our sponsors - and every sponsor of every club - get their money from? If that is the case, then I can't see how the club can have a case to answer

Besides, all contracts are being checked by UEFA for compliance with market prices.
If the contracts were deemed to be correct in this regard, it means City could get identical sponsorship elsewhere.

I don't see any 'unfairness' if Mansour pays to the sponsor as he wants HIS brand to be represented by HIS club - if the prices are correct. It's not UEFA's business at all.

But the FFP rules in some ways restrict sponsorship by entities affiliated with the owner, that's the card the Cartel could try to play - but only on the PR field.

I don’t have a Times subscription so was wondering if anyone who does could help me.

I've seen an extract from this article in which Syed questions why a high number of City's sponsorships "hail from a tiny sliver of land between Oman and Qatar?"

What I'd like to know is does he state what percentage?

I've said it before - unless someone can prove the shortfalls came out of Sheikh Mansour's bank account then there's no case to answer. Nowhere in those e-mails does it suggest he is the one personally stumping up the cash. As others have stated His Highness doesn't refer to our owner.

You can sign up and get 1 free article per week but this 'article' isn't worth the effort.

He just uses the phrase 'a high percentage of sponsors' rather an actual figure. He also repeats various DS allegations and states twice that City have 'strongly denied by the club' & 'City strenuously deny all the accusations' but then prints the statement by City in which they refuse to comment. How he can knowingly contradict himself and keep a straight face I'll never know but perhaps given his mugshot they use (the self satisfied smug sneer) tells you everything you need to know about this pond scum.

Thanks for that, appreciate it. I almost signed up because the curiosity was killing me, I should've known to trust my gut that he wouldn't say ( because it doesn't ring true) or doesn't know what the percentage is.

I think PB has guesstimated a percentage on here before, perhaps as low as 15% ( I may be way out on that though, and whatever it is the Puma deal will lower it further).
