We have no chance when even our own @BlueMoonPodcast is broadcasting that we are state ownedSo after the Newcastle take over, Chelsea have been quietly dropped from the MSM hate list, the new gig in town and parroted last week by Bingo is “state owned” as in “we know three clubs are now state owned”, ok so putting to one side Mansour is a privately very rich man who owns a majority of MCFC approx 75%, the bad guys are the ones backed by a state.

So more misinformation by a supposed journalist who believes the Etihad deal is a related party agreement. How difficult is it to get facts correct when it’s your job to report facts?And so it begins, City vote with Newcastle against the cartel, let battle commence.

Why report facts when a lie repeated over and over soon becomes the truth..So more misinformation by a supposed journalist who believes the Etihad deal is a related party agreement. How difficult is it to get facts correct when it’s your job to report facts?
The Guardian sports desk getting it wildly and head shakingly all wrong again.So more misinformation by a supposed journalist who believes the Etihad deal is a related party agreement. How difficult is it to get facts correct when it’s your job to report facts?

It must be illegal under competition laws. You can't have a situation where commercial rivals band together to stop another rival from investing in their product. It's another example of the football authorities ( in this case the PL) losing their grip on reality. It will not stand a legal challenge just as everything UEFA has done has collapsed as soon as it is taken to court. The fair market value test is already accepted by the PL and UEFA and that should be enough.How can other clubs block another clubs sponsorship deals,just doesn’t make sense,so if someone like Tesla or Amazon wanted to sponsor Newcastle in some capacity clubs can block it ,next it’ll be trying to block certain teams from signing players ff….
It was okay for Mike Ashley's Sports Direct to sponsor Newcastle, but it's not okay for a company in Saudi Arabia to sponsor them?
I can't see why Newcastle (and reportedly City) think that's unlawful, but I guess it depends what it says.
The deals already have to be fair value if related, so I guess the aim is to stop unrelated Saudi companies being involved. It's almost certainly been drafted badly, and I wonder how long the temporary bit is.
Edit: as @Prestwich_Blue has posted this just now on the FFP thread: Temporary is 3 weeks.
