UAE don’t need soft power through sport, they already have a seat at the table of OPEC+ and have investments in semi-conductors - a critical global resource. There’s of course a marketing angle to ownership of City (if you can use an asset to flog something else, then do it, that’s capitalism), there’s the reputational aspect of building respect by running a high profile project well, and there is a broad strategy of diversifying their economy. Arguments owning the club has anything to do with human rights are so strained they break under the most basic questioning.

Never hear the term sportswashing in cycling. One of the best teams are sponsored by UAE.

You forgot Bahrain Victorious, bizarrely enough the only pro team accused of sports washing were Ineos when Red Radcliffe started the funding of the team after Sky.

Like I've said on this before,if dubai pulled out of horse racing in this country the sport would be in trouble,they put millions in every year but like people have said not one fucking word about sports washing,we know who the enemy is in football and time is ticking for the fuckers

Never hear much talk of it in racing either, even though Dubai have more or less ran British flat racing for the past 40 years.

Might get a bit tricky with the evil state ownership problem when they remember the King has a bunch of horses as well.

Jordan was on Talkstoopid earlier saying Man United are an iconic brand. What he means is they are a club relying on former glories and his producer has told him to big up United. The reality is Forbes have confirmed City has the strongest most iconic brand in football right now. I know which brand equity I would prefer to have. He's a stooge isn't he. He's told what to say by his producer. No real thoughts of his own. A tool and a fool. Oh silly man. Very lucky to have the platform he gets on Talkstoopid.

microsoft ruled the world right until they didnt, nokia was the world leader until apple kicked em to the kerb, the world is full of iconic 'brands' who were overtaken by better, fresher and newer brands with better ideas.

The only people who care about these iconic brands or journos from equally antiquated brands i.e simon jordan whos on a medium which is going to be overtaken by podcasts in the very near future

I have noticed the fake news stories about City have ramped up. It confirms that City stories drive revenue and money is there to be made. We are now one of the biggest brands and this sort of thing is part of the territory.

What’s the old saying “there’s no such thing as bad publicly”
Which for us is good news as it’s all we get

This is it. We're the biggest news in football even when there is no news. Let the red fucks talk about us all they want. It'll only detract them from realising they don't compete because they won't, rather than for any other reason.

Every one of these stories drives people to City. We are the biggest story. A tipping point was reached with the signing of Haaland. The club has to expand now….and expand fast.
 
Is Hojlund the new Haaland, what because they have a similar sounding surname. Utter wank reporting from sly, keep getting the scums name out there so people remember who they are, lol.
Oh sorry, he's better than Haaland and will bang 60 next season if they sign him
