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

I sent one to him as well Being pedantic he’s not mayor of Manchester Greater Manchester Mayor
I asked him why he used the office of GM-M to raise concerns over Everton writing numerous letters and using his GM-M Twitter account for them when they have zero connection to Gtr Manchester Yet he had never uttered a word of support for Manchester City FC who are in Gtr Manchester support business and development in the region
Because he's a scouser. That's what they do.
 
I’m sure a read or heard somewhere that the result of this hearing won’t be made public but we will know the result because of future sponsorship deals .
I find this very hard to believe with the massive interest in this subject at the moment !
 
Mitigating circumstances / reasons / excuses - call them what you like. Reluctant or not we signed up. Just because we pulled out of the project 5 minutes before Chelsea did doesn't mean we were the good guys. As you say, we all have different opinions, but it's a 100% fact that we signed up (without consulting the fans) and allowed one of the Glazers on our website to tell us all how good it was going to be. What's done is done. But we shouldn't have been anywhere near that Project.

A monumental error from the club. In terms of PR I know they're not too concerned by external noise, but it would be very easy to remind everyone what clubs signed up for the Super League and that we didn't before journalists wanted to accuse us of attempting to destroy football.

Are we actually sure there is any real talk of a new rule that stops Etihad or any other UAE company from sponsoring us? Or was it just mentioned by one guy in one podcast?
As stupid as I think the PL are for bringing in something that is potentially unlawful, I don't believe they'd be so stupid as to do something as blatant as that

BUT it gives a great insight into how our mgt think compared to what is being portrayed in the rag fueled media. We want capitalist type competition where anyone can win, whereas they want communism, where everyone is brainwashed to believe they are equal but the elite laud it and remain forever untouchable. It's really so simple to see it and yet many fans of other clubs seem to have been lobotomised
 
An interesting snippet from the rebuttal, is the following:
‘Then it is claimed Sheik Mansour is the Deputy Prime Minister (since 2009) and Vice President (since 2023) of the UAE. They don’t mention that he was in neither of these roles when he bought the club in 2008. So the video is now portraying City as being owned by the country of the UAE, not even the state of Abu Dhabi.’

We all know that Sheikh Mansoor bought City with his own wealth, I think an additional point to ram home to the ‘state owned’ fantasy mob, is that in 2008 he had nothing to do with UAE state running either - which is what Delaney et al constantly still claim.
I don’t think that even now he is a member of either gov body that makes the decisions, the Executive Commission. More, he is a super advisor. I have not been able to find an AEU reference to the Vice Presidency, as it is a newly created position.

Our mgt got that wrong and have admitted that.
