@SWP's back replied in a similar vein.
Could this have been City's cunning plan?
Sheik Mansour himself has not put any money into Etihad, so no sponsorship rules have been broken?
This is where I don't know where they draw the line on related parties. If as we think Mansour owns the club and the Etihad deal was subsidised by the Emir is that related as they are brothers?
