Miguel Delaney writes the same article on City over and over again and gets paid for it. Nice work if you can get it.

I must admit to have paid it little attention when it was announced but the parent company is "Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (also known as Jardines) is a Hong Kong-based Bermuda-domiciled British multinational conglomerate." (cheers Wiki).I thought I had read "owned" but I'm probably wrong. But the article is still wrong; the hotel group is based in Hong Kong, not UAE.
The hotel part of the business is "Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group" and they list 36 hotels all over the world with more planned.
They're absolutely massive. Is the deal only with the AD based one or the whole hotel group? It may be worth way more than I thought initially.
Edit: ahh, only the one hotel in AD, that's a shame.

He claims that he doesn’t support any English club but some small Spanish outfit.Are you sure about his allegiances ? The only record I can find of him authoring anything is a contribution to an anthology of stories about united.
Weird considering he such is an open redshirts apologist. To the extent that he was publicly tossing himself off about a ‘historical title race’ between the two cheeks of the same M62 arse little over 12 months ago.
More than a hint of ‘Altrincham fan’ Taylor about him

For those questioning why any sponsorships will be investigated: those are the new PL rules and we have to live with them for now. They are wrong on two fronts:
1. They are in restraint of trade and would not survive a legal challenge.
We and Newcastle voted against. Amanda has warned the PL that she will sue if they try to stop reasonable sponsorships.
2. Our commercial rivals will sit in judgement on our commercial dealings. They say independent experts will be the judge, but give no indication of what the criteria the PL will set for "inflated" etc. There is no provision for appeal outside the PL to a British court or CAS.
The rules are clearly aimed at us and Newcastle. In the febrile imagination of the media, rival fans and our competitor's boardrooms, we are riddled with inflated deals. The fact is we have no related deals under IAS24 and on the wider interpretation of associated deals, we derive only 15% of our turnover from them.
UEFA and their lickspittles Liverpool and the rags relied on our accounts being false to make their charges stick. CAS gave that idea the bum's rush.
I can see only trouble for the PL coming from this.

What’s hilarious about this 15%, is that fans of certain other clubs take that entire sum out of the equation when foaming at the mouth about our finances. Like the club that has won about half the total PL titles in the last decade wouldn’t be able to find anyone else to sponsor them if Etihad pulled out.The rules are clearly aimed at us and Newcastle.

Even if the Etihad deal is double what it should be (and it’s plainly not) then you are talking about a 7.5% drop in income; significant, but hardly fatal.

Perhaps the question to the poster should be " have you actually read it ? "
