Re: City & FFP (continued)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another...

This one will upset the frothers as it's Arab-based unlike most of our recent commercial deals.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.zawya.com/story/Arabtec_Signs_Regional_Sponsor_Agreement_with_Man_City-ZAWYA20140514142015/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.zawya.com/story/Arabtec_Sign ... 514142015/</a>

So, another related party sponsorship deal then?(for UEFA and David Gill to get their teeth into during the next monitoring period)

If the Etihad deal has been called in buy UEFA for being related, why would City go down the same route again, with another Abu Dhabi company?

Does this mean the Etihad deal hasn't been called in, and we're free to sign any sponsorships deal in Abu Dhabi? :-)

Could it remotely just possibly, conceivably be because contrary to what the press would have you believe, we are actually signing up partners who are genuinely interested in sponsoring us, and guess what, since we are successful, high profile and Abu Dhabi owned, for some bizarre reason other Emirati companies are interested in hooking up with us?

Just a wild stab in the dark, like.

Could be a bit of both.

UEFA trying to claim our sponsors from that part of the world are unfair.
We claim there is huge interest in City in UAE.

What better way to prove the point than to announce another deal?

Re: City & FFP (continued)

Owner of Arabtec is Riad Burhan Taher Kamal, a former civil engineer who is not related to the royals.

Chairman of Arabtec is Hasan Abdullah Mohamed Ismaik, who is a shareholder in 1860 Munich and not related to the royals I believe.

Yes, he owns 60% of 1860 Munich, so guess why the other team in town are so found of FFP.

Difficult if you're bald, I would have thought.

Re: City & FFP (continued)

I don't think that even Uefa are suggesting that the etihad deal is related party just because they're based in Abu Dhabi. How many USA sponsors do the rags have / had?
