City launch legal action against the Premier League

The word tosspot springs to mind mani.

I think you’re missing the point - they’re all related parties, hence the scrutiny. You’re simply emphasising why there’s a widely held theory that the entire purpose of the City ownership is to benefit and project Abu Dhabi onto the world, via football.

Surely we should have hired competent people who could facilitate investment exclusively from non-related parties and remove any doubt as to where the money is coming from.

Well it didn't fucking work did it? Never heard a peep about human rights abuses in the UAE until they bought City. All these Journalists who slag us to fuck because we stopped their football team winning trophies would be in Abu Dhabi once a year for the Grand Prix sipping free champers telling us all how wonderful everything is with loads of anecdotes about wise Bedouins and how Sheikh Mohammed learnt from the best at Sandhurst.

How many of those football journalists constantly linking us to human rights abuses in the UAE told their editors they wouldn't be going to the Qatar World Cup on ethical grounds?

I think this poster 'Atom' will soon be showing his true colours soon.
Seems very aggressive against us.

Sure as night follows day, the little raggy bastards join up when the schools are finished

A friend of mine in work who is a red, but he’s an Intelligent person, who you can have a sensible chat with him most times, thinks there is on jeopardy in Sheikh Mansour/Abu Dhabi funding and owning City because they’ve got limitless amounts of money. My counter argument was, there’s no jeopardy for American ‘billionaires’ owning United, Liverpool and Arsenal either.

I think you're not a City fan.

Nostalgia in the area.

We did, we have no related sponsorships, but the PL changed the rule to ‘Associated’. So deals we made years ago are changed in status whenever they are renewed. This change is the whole point which you are missing by a country mile.
