There was an interview with one of Etihads bosses who said it can mean United, Unity, all things along those lines, but was trying to put the point across that it was about ‘togetherness’.

It doesn't, not that it really matters but Etihad translates as: Union.

I was surprised to not see Der Spiegal among the targets.

I wonder if The Liverpool Echo who own MEN are to be targeted?
Wrong. See MEN at the time. Official translator for Mcr says United is one of several meanings.

Just go to Google translate and translate from arabic to english, sorry you are wrong not me. Or
Manchester City stadium: Does the Arabic word 'Etihad' really mean 'United' in English?
The announcement by Manchester City that the club has signed a deal to rename Eastlands as the Etihad Stadiumsparked claims from football fans that the Blues had unwittingly scored an own goal.

I know more Arabic than Google translate.
Now here’s a surprise for you: Etihad does not exist in Arabic. It is a transliteration of a word meaning together(ness).

Both are owned by Reach PLC, who own the Mirror, Express and lots of regional titles.
I assume the Echo is as shite as the MEN.

How do you mean? Presumably there is a word pronounced "etihad" in Arabic? Doesn't really matter, just interested.

No problem just take the time to read the article then, or continue to believe social media, I care not.

Anyone else think that the media generally is a special sector of industry which Sheikh Mansour is best advised to avoid.
His experience is solely within football and general rules of business are different in the media sector.

It’s not a sector to avoid if you own it. Mansour didn’t have much experience in football pre 2008, that’s turned out alright hasnt it?

Sorry, I paraphrased what football specialists advised him about football sector when he bought City.
He has obviously proved that a proper business plan coupled with investment time beats all attempts to stop his diversification success.

Christ on a bike, we've got another couple of years of people arguing the exact meaning of a single word that doesn't actually exist in Arabic (apparently).

Good question, there must have been footballing consultants brought in to advise. Garry Cook and Brian Marwood were parachuted in from Nike. Wonder if Kia Joorabchian was consulting as it no coincidence Carlos Tevez rocked up 11 months later after the take over.
I wonder if there will be any collaboration between his new media venture and CIty / CFG adverts promotions for the campus better press better content on the website sharing facilities. I wonder how the media will be used in the campus with virtual reality or something
