FIFA

FIFA have zero jurisdiction here.

There are all kinds of opinions from lots of newly qualified high level 'lawyers' on here but only one thing really matters...that is we ultimately win this battle.

Obviously how you define 'win' is subjective but to me it is an outcome that doesn't effectively put us back to our pre-takeover state.

Some stuff from Rabin.

To be fair , I could list your posts that state we would be signing X, Y and Z over the last few seasons . Doesn’t mean I won’t look forward to other cryptic crap coming up .

Ha, this is a little different, bud, certainly in the grander scheme of things ;)

Only one outlet stated we would not receive any sanction, yet is now being cited by some people as authoritative because it is one of the few pieces to have a positive theme in recent days.

I'd expect The Athletic needs to be very positive right now.

I thought HH was Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed? Whatever, it's certainly not Sheikh Mansour and the emails said HH would "arrange" the extra funding. That funding comes from Abu Dhabi, probably the Executive Council, not ADUG so it's not owner investment.

What I assume has happened is that all the due monies were sent to ADUG for onward transmission to City and that Soriano's request to Pearce to have these split out is precisely because they need to ensure we avoid accusations of equity funds being mixed up with partnership revenue. Which is exactly what I'd expect from an organisation trying to ensure everything was whiter than white.

In that case, couldn’t we just have proved that during this investigation (or even before it got to that) to nip all this in the bud?

It will definitely beat my Alexis Sanchez thread.

Sick of this drama, hopefully it will end soon.

You may want to buckle up... this might last years. I suggest HS2 will be up and running before this issue is resolved.

If I was being a cynic, I might think that a fair few cancelled subscriptions from City fans over the weekend urgently necessitated a fairly pro-City piece on their platform.

Is that you doing those tweets mate?

If so top man.

I get that sir, wasn’t having a pop. Honest.
I do try to be objective and wouldn’t take any outlet as guaranteed but it’s nice to see a little bit of pro City news amidst all the fucking hounds out there.
