City launch legal action against the Premier League | City win APT case (pg901)

I don't see what is wrong if the second cousin twice removed company wants to invest into our club !
I don't see why some no-marks can decide how much he can invest if he is allowed.

BUT

It is perfect ok to allow investment from bent organisation/company.
Banks that have been fined 1.2 billion for money laundering for example. These are seen by the pl as a good image for the league. Gun running is OK as long as you aren't related somehow.

It's odd how this argument in never brought up.
It's not about if the company is a good upstanding company that's does everything by the book.
It's not about if the owners of the Sponsorship company are good upstanding people.

It's all about being somehow related lol

Pathic bent pl at It's finest

Wenger was bankrolled with blood diamond money from Danny Fiszman.

Interesting piece of info from an entirely reliable source with contacts at government level : for some time now there has been much deliberation at the highest level as to what should be done about the "tidal wave" of "funny money" being "laundered" by our football clubs.

It seems the various parties ( who should be concerned / responsible / monitoring ) have turned a blind eye to this for some time. This unsurprising state of affairs is - no doubt - common knowledge to the football authorities, the clubs and our - forever - venal media.

Perhaps they are so pre-occupied with investigating the source of every penny that comes into our own club that they have not the time ( or inclination ) to be bothered with any other club !

You mean like shirt sponsors with ties to money laundering for terrorsit groups and suchlike. One whose deal was subsequently renewed after the company in question was fined heavily.

Ahh but that type of money laundering means more.
I can't say I've ever visited Rwanda either.

I wonder what that can refer to. It’s not just money, it’s funny money.
Ken Bates put the ownership of certain assets into an overseas trust when both at Chelsea and Leeds but who owned that trust was never revealed. The proceeds that went into those clubs in return, that’s funny money. The ownership of these types of arrangement should never be secret and clubs should be forbidden to deal that way.
But who else are they talking about?

We need a fit and proper sponsor rule to sit alongside the fit and proper owner rules

visit rwanda
standard chartered

The point is: is the Rwandan money ‘funny money’ or do we just disapprove?

To be fair, it's not "funny money". Our government gives it to Rwanda, Rwanda gives it to Arsenal. Nothing dodgy at all.

"The UK government had paid £240m to Rwanda by the end of 2023. However, the total payment will be at least £370m over five years, according to the National Audit Office.13 Jun 2024"

Gives a whole new meaning to state owned.

Isn't it about time the final deliberation was published, surely both sides must have it by now? If so the lack of a City leak is not encouraging but balanced by the PL shill silence I suppose.
