If that was indeed their motivation, then the point I was inexpertly trying to make, is of course redundant at source. Didn’t one of the hacked emails refer to His Highness covering a significant amount of our sponsorship money though? I make no assumption as to whether that info is true or not, but again it’s not hard to see why journalists would link us to the AD government
Who is His Highness?
 
So wheres the usual moans and groans from sky bbc and the other media peeps? Who started this shit storm of who owns city. Been back 10 pages wtf, or is it a bring back Swales thread ?

It could have been me mate. I posted a couple of pages from Google about America, human rights and American owners in our league and said how come the press don't associate their owners with human rights too.
It's sort of escalated from there.

I'm just leaving the room quietly..:)
 
It was certainly very long in the reply.
Anyhow our ownership is clearly defined as per the laws of England and Wales in turns of company registration, it’s on public record and anyone can use companies house web check to verify their own curiosity or doubts,

I think it was that Don Howe fella. Sorry Don. :)

It's good to clear these things up anyway in my opinion, so many things get repeated by our press, that it muddies the waters. Possibly a deliberate tactic.
 
Ha ha, can you smuggle me out under your coat!
Ssh don't tell anyone.

Possibly the must simplistic anology I could think of for a simpleton like harris, say if HRH William decides to buy villa his club and they ditch 32 red ad unethical gambling and Windsor castle Ltd take over,if villa got hacked and an email referred to if Windsor castle can’t pay their contractual obligations to villa then hm will cover to save potential brand pr damage, would hm refer to William protecting villa of her majesty protesting the image of Windsor. We as brits know hm would only refer to the queen not William, we as a society do not know naming conventions within the uae and the press have fed bullshit the uneducated masses.
 
Yes, this. In my ham - fisted way, this was point. Well aware we are not owned by a country, and that even if we were "owned" by Abu Dhabi's highest powers that our owner is not sat there dictating policy or starting wars, and that Khaldoon had been handed responsibility to run show anyway. And most importantly, i don't care about journalists any more. But the perception of our owners in wider world of fans rankles and must upset our owners. Am surprised too they have not said more on matter.

Khaldoon has said repeatedly that the purchase of City was based on the need to help Abu Dhabi to diversify its economy so it is less reliant on oil. Like all the Gulf states Abu Dhabi has to re-invent itself as fossil fuels decline. The worldwide strategy is to invest in sport and leisure, tech and innovation, finance and property, and education and research sectors. The CFG is just one alement of this huge strategy. So far Sheik Mansour has made billions out of his investment in the Manchester area. He has doubled the value of his original investment in City alone (he got his initial outlay back just on selling 13 per cent to the Chinese consortium). The UK media know this full well but choose not to report it. The concept of so-called "sportswashing" is just a fabrication. I am sure the Sheikh and the rest of the key players in Abu Dhabi want to promote their region in a positive light...that's natural. But commercial reasons are the main driver.
