La Liga official complaint about City

From the Mirror:
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez says Manchester City's new Norwegian signing Erling Haaland, 21, would not have started if the striker had moved to the Spanish side

Another reason for him to choose us

Enough of this “ holistic city” bullshit . Get them all of them from top to bottom .

That is holistic

Presumably our accounts are available for inspection at Companies House and have to be all above board , our sponsorship wherever derived also appears to be fair value for money , stadium/shirt and other deals have already been investigated and rubber stamped.
The only issue Fatty Tebas has is the amount and verification/originality of the sponsorship deals , if he believes he would be able to outsmart a savvy owner like Sheik Mansour then he had better get in the very long queue ,UEFA have tried , the hateful eight , and the Premier league
There is a reason why the Premier investigation in on-going and has been for years , its because they cannot find or prove f*ck all , and the only reason it is "ongoing" is to keep the 'istree clubs happy and the media to regurgitate every time we win a trophy .A real shame that football in this country and europe wastes so much money chasing us and not investing the money no doubt given to lawyers and the parasites in legal firms and instead invested the money into grass roots football.
We might waste some money on the neccesary evil that is football agents , but it is proabably nowhere near amount football authorities have wasted trying to besmirch our football club
Fuck'em.

Just about to write a letter to When Saturday Comes, who have referred to us in the last couple of editions as 'state owned'. I'm going to quote, verbatim, the paragraph in the published CFG accounts where it details the ownership as 75.1% Sheikh Mansour, with the remaining 24.1% held by various Chinese groups. (Silver Lake's original 10% holding was converted to preference shares, which are classed as debt rather than equity).

Im probably wasting my time but this is something I feel the club should publicise.

Here's what I've sent:

In issue 422 and on several previous occasions, you’ve referred to Manchester City as ‘state owned’. This is completely inaccurate and taints your reputation as a serious football publication. Manchester City’s immediate parent is City Football Group and in CFG’s accounts, their own ownership is set out in Note 13 and which states (and I quote verbatim) “City Football Group is a company incorporated in England and Wales. The Company is 75.1% owned by its parent undertaking Abu Dhabi United Group Investment and Development Limited, a company registered in Abu Dhabi and wholly owned by His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The remaining 25.9% is owned by China Media Capital Football Holdings Limited (12.4%), SLA CM Marcus Holdings, L.P. (10.4%), and Vega FZ, LLC (2.1%).”

Sheikh Mansour, the majority owner, is undeniably a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family but owns the club in a private capacity. That doesn’t make City “state owned” any more than the Queen’s racehorses or Prince Andrew’s well-publicised ski chalet are “state owned”.

And then in your article on foodbanks, you highlight the great work Alex Timperley and other fans are doing but spoil the article completely by comparing what they’re doing to Erling Haaland’s wages. City isn’t the only club who pay fees and wages and nor is East Manchester the only area that suffers above average deprivation. It would have been better to showcase the work Alex and his team are doing with the vast improvements made in the area around the Etihad Stadium, which include the City Football Academy, the only sixth form college in East Manchester and the building of a huge indoor arena that will bring economic benefits to the area. All of those have been built by the club’s owner. It involved the cleaning up of what was a toxic land environment from the coal mine and dye works that previously occupied it. It also ignores the fantastic work done over many years by City In The Community to improve the lives of young adults and children in the surrounding area.

As a fan, I’m very proud of all my club does, globally and in that local community, and also in the little kindnesses it quietly but regularly shows to fans who need a bit of support in difficult times. WSC is seemingly proud of how it highlights football’s links with local communities so it would be nice to redress the balance by both being accurate in your reporting and doing an article showing that even a leading Premier League club hasn’t forgotten its roots in, and responsibilities to, those communities. But I suspect that anything that might show Manchester City in any other light than football’s pantomime villain will be off WSC’s agenda.

Let's see if they publish it (although I won't hold my breath).

Was watching Spanish football channel on holiday last night, yes in a bar and was all about PSG/Mbappe and City/Harland. Music to my ears for the most part, gotta be the first time ever huge players choosing other clubs.

On another note the exposure City, PSG and sadly Liverpool are getting on the continent is enormous, the Spanish are fascinated by all of the above. The UK press may try and belittle us but make no mistake, we are one of the giants now definitely in Europe’s big Five.

Just as an aside, 75.1 + 25.9 = 101.

just read Barca is selling future revenue to an American bank. This could polish them off. it sounds like a desperate measure to stay competitive
