No I wont given that the UAE's oil production is irrelevant to MCFC.
The City Group took on significant debt to fund overseas acquisitions and infrastructure, whilst Mansour diluted his equity to get Silverake's investment. Those are not the actions of a club owned by a nation-state, and anyway City's revenues are now bigger than Man Utd so sugar-daddy talk belongs to the past.
The criticism of MCFC's ownership by the usual media suspects was and is opportunistic racism. I know so because in the midst of the Ukraine crisis and sanctions there has been a complete blackout in the English football media over links that Usmanov may have to Everton Football Club. They report on it as news but offer no investigation or judgement. Whataboutery? Dead-right because it exposes the motivation and morals of our critics.
