The stench of irony that emanates from this paragraph is almost too much to bear:
"As increasing questions have been asked of the sports-washing of their Abu Dhabi owners – using City as a PR tool to legitimise a corrupt regime – City’s fanbase have become staunch defenders of something they actually know little about."
It's been quite astonishing to see Abu Dhabi's transformation into a supposed rogue state akin to North Korea since the dippers and a handful of embittered journalists started banging this particular drum.
Sam Cunningham who has ‘failed Daily Mail journalist’ amongst his list of achievements... a bitter no mark and his ramblings should be ignored by all but his fellow sociopaths.

Abu Dhabi should aspire to be like the UK and/or the USA.
You mean they should commit Human Rights abuses against children - like our government - see today’s Guardian.

I'd rather not.see today’s Guardian.
I am curious, but why exactly would Abu Dhabi be interested in "Sport washing" it's image? As far as I'm aware, no one gave a shit about Abu Dhabi, it wasn't under any scrutiny at all, no international sanctions, no threats to it's regime. I don't really see the incentive for them to give a shit what anyone else thinks of them, they have a shit ton of money and no one has been turning them away as they invest all over the world. No one gives a shit what your reputation is if you are a buyer, just look at Saudi Arabia
it's right though isn't it? Only 2 domestic cups..Thought I'd watch the FA Cup highlights on the BBC....
Jason Mohammad presents highlights of the FA Cup final at Wembley. Victory for Manchester City against Watford will give them a second major domestic cup trophy of the season.
Fuck me! How petty.

Or the $1.1 Billion fine for Liverpools main title sponsor for money laundering across the globe.

Or in the medias case, ignorance and a refusal to discuss that given their sudden interest in morality and financial crimes.
No one can tell me this is nothing other than a direct and deliberate attack on our club, no one.
