I think clever folk would observe what I believe is called cognitive dissonance, ie holding two contradictory beliefs.
lets go with City are owned by an oppressive state, ok I know that’s not true but let’s go with it. Arsenal, Man Utd etc take money in the form of sponsorship deals with oppressive sates ie the Emirates and Saudi, but that’s ok.
its like us being owned by Al Capone and the others being paid sponsorship by Al Capone, would that really be ok? Of course it’s bollocks.
To be fair, there would be a difference between being sponsored by a state owned company to being owned directly by a state. It’s right that we’re privately owned.
Well, depending on what people are criticising about it obviously. There’s definitely hypocrisy in some of it.
