Would have a taken a single vote against to remove the amendment apparently - no objectors in the second house. The hate runs deep.

The wording of the bill gives the power to the Secretary of State to force ownership change if state influence is involved in running a club so should not affect City. If the Government pushed ahead with this it would destroy inward investment in all UK industry especially from the Middle East. A disaster for the country.

My 10 year old son could write more factual stories than these. They do know (despite what they think) that legally City are NOT state owned. So why would we need to change ownership?

Aah but this time they’ve included every single possible link they can draw. It’s amazing that they don’t realise how influential US billionaires are.

Utter lies again to imply we are state owned.

Don't the FA get booted out of FIFA though if there is government interference?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Why share links to lies. Why even read them.

Well I'd also question the fact that INEOS regularly receive huge financial support from the UK coffers e.g. only this year they received £700/800m for one of their projects from our government (tax payers). If that money is helping INEOS make more profit, and the rags are receiving funds directly from INEOS, does that not create a link between the rags and state funding?

Don't forget the Battle of the Estadio Metropolitano in the CL, where one team wanted to play football and the other just fight - I think we were only ones to be fined that night.
