Couldn't see this posted anywhere else, but saw this breifly covered by the BBC on it's news feed. It would be interesting for our on going growing influence.
Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano will stand for election to the powerful European Clubs’ Association Board in Berlin tomorrow.
Soriano stood aside two years ago to allow Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to become the Premier League representative on the Board.
However, Soriano is the only Premier League representative amongst the nine candidates standing for the seven available Board seats set aside for Europe’s most powerful clubs within the ECA, which is headed by PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Soriano has been an observer to the Board for the past two years but his election would be a further sign of City’s growing influence off the field, even though they are still facing 115 charges of breaching Premier League financial rules.
In total, 11 Premier League clubs are represented at the ECA’s two-day General Assembly in the German capital.
In addition to the ‘big six’, Newcastle, Everton, Brighton, Brentford and Nottingham Forest are also present.
