As far as I am concerned the whole so-called "sportswashing" narrative is fake news. It is not based on any evidence. Sheikh Mansour did not buy City to "wash-away" stories about human rights issues in Abu Dhabi and no one has ever published anything to back up that conspiracy theory. Our owner invests billions of pounds in the technology, sport, health, education, and finance sectors each year. The motive is to make a profit on his investments and also reduce his business group's over-reliance on dwindling oil revenues.
It is a strategy followed by the entire business comunity in Abu Dhabi because the value of oil will continue to drop as more renewable energies come in across the world. This is why Dubai moved into the tourism sector.
It would make no sense to purchase a football club if you wanted to "wash away" bad publicity because being in football guaraantees you more scrutiny than any other sector.
The concept of "sportswashing" was made up by elements of the media to back up the false narrative and has been pushed relentlessly by trolls like Nick McGeehan who have their own motives for pursuing this.
To be fair, I don't even object to the idea of seeds. They try to make sure that shit teams can't fluke their way to the final with an easy draw (remember Millwall getting to the FA Cup final despite not facing a single team from the Premier League?), and you get the best teams facing each other later in the competition. The problem was when teams like Arsenal were still top seeds after finishing 4th about 10 years in a row.
You forgot Leroy’s buddys in GermanyCould be any or all of the 8 prem teams who wrote the letter here or it could be our friends in France ,spain or italy,or UEFA,journal's here,pretty much take your choice
Sorry I am still not buying that answerHe is a member of the government he wont be responsible for specific issues but you can hardly doubt his support for the governments policies or at least not going against it.
Whats your view on who is responsible for our own issues in this country ? Or America or other countries ? Most people tend to blame all politicians and sometime even the entire populations for the actions of there government because they voted them in or did not protest or helped by participating in some way
It is an odd thing for a blue to be saying,shows how much media gets into people's head
It’s being ignored by the mail, the editor slapped keegan round the chops for sneaking it through and appears to have pulled itThis story has been circulating in the Indian media for weeks. You can check it on Google. A previous post on this site linked to a story in the India Times. The Mail has come to the story late but it will be ignored by most of the UK media.
When that news is reported across the board and pumped out by organisations that will benefit from it, it is fake news, propaganda, agenda, call it what you will but it is put out for a reason.I agree its a flawed concept for the reason you give but its not fake news to suggest it as its an opinion fake news is basically another word for a piece of news that is portrayed as fact thats not actual true or a lie thats not the same as false opinion. The Capital of the UK is London is a fact. there is a vaccine for Corona Virus is fake news. Boris is amazing is a false opinion but its not fake news or a lie or not true as such (Its not true in a sense but its subjective) so as to make it potentially true to the person who says it.
Sorry, I just had to
Sorry I am still not buying that answer
