Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

No because the question was centred around Abu Dhabi investment so I would expect his response to that and not go off on a tangent like some people on here

I know I was exaggerating. I am not trying to have a pop at Burnham. He gave the stock answer. The fault lies with BBC North West. I don't think they would have asked that question if BAE were announcing an expansion with 200 new jobs in Lancashire for example. I don't want them to report propaganda but they seem to go out of their way to turn a positive story into a negative.

What’s actually going on why is the Arena in the news ? Why are they mentioning human rights ? The Arena is backed by Americans Edd Sheran COOP and CFG or is it ADUG or whoever they have changed the name to the % coming from UAE is small and none of its sponsorship money only capital investment usually even in supposed sportswashing to whatever this would depending on who you speak to they treat investment and sponsorship differently

The two main (equal) investors are Oak View Group and the City Football Group.

Oak View Group are an American Global Advisory, Development and Investment Company for Sports and Live Entertainment industries.

CFG of course is owned by three organisations; of which 81% is majority owned by Abu Dhabi United Group (a private equity company. It is owned by Sheikh Mansour), 18% by the American firm Silver Lake, and 1% by Chinese firms China Media Capital and CITIC Capital.

Harry Styles only owns just over 2%.

There was no valid reason whatsoever for her question at a topping out ceremony or for that matter, Burnhams "answer".

Manchester gets a big box for a new entertainment centre. Las Vegas gets a giant sphere. Opens in three months with U2.

I wouldn’t get too worked up about it. If you look at a country’s all-time human rights record then Britain itself doesn’t look good in comparison to UAE or many other countries. It’s just our westernised agnostic opinion that all countries should be like us now and not like we used to be.

Not the point CoL.

The (independent) BBC is waginging an onslaught of lies,misinformation, bias, and casual racism against our club and its principle owner.

The multitude of incidents over many years are not an accident, it must be policy and someone somewhere in a senior position of editorial policy has sanctioned it.

Because HH SHEIKH MANSOUR will not dignify this shit with recognition or response,it encourages them to continue at any and every opportunity.

If this type of shit was being propagated against BAE,Tesla or #neveratreblepool the court cases would have started years ago.

When the time to serve the cold dish of revenge comes the Beeb, their gutless,chicken shit lackeys and others of the same ilk had better sleep with one eye open.

The Arabians have very long memories !!

I'm sure that if there is an individual senior executive at the BBC behind this, the Club will know exactly who it is and why it is happening. It's either malevolent oversight or lack of oversight. Either way, it would be good to put a stop to it. It does seem to be ramping-up just recently.

The BBC and journalists will do what they think gets viewers and readers, the politicians and people who matter know the world isn’t black and white. Countries have to deal with other countries who have policies that don’t adhere to their own ideals, gay rights is the obvious one but we’re getting into religious opinions there and the UK are still in the early stages of treating, or attempting to treat, that community equally anyway.

North West tonight didn't even mention City winning the league the Monday after Chelsea game but Granada Reports did a full report ! BBC are just a red ridden piece of shit, after we banned Dan Roen after the first FFP slanderous report he gave they've used everything they can to slag us off !

I thought Roan was banned because of misrepresntation in an interview with Patrick Vieira and nothing to do with FFP.
