I’m sure that a Tory government reeling from the loss of Russian money will start putting the squeeze on Middle East funds in football and elsewhere. Mentioning Newcastle and City (City especially) in the same breath as Chelsea is whataboutery of the highest calibre.

I’d expect more of this over the coming weeks as USA owned clubs smell an opportunity to rid the premier league of certain types of foreign money.

Slight edit.

Stone being a dick as usual going on about prospective managers going 'due diligence' on future employers.
I'm sure all the rags managers did their research into the Glazers ways of taking money out of the club and of course what attitude will they take if Russia invades Ukraine.
The man's an utter clown. No sensible questions to ask so he talks bollocks. The City PR team should just cut him short..

Fuckinell what a ****. Most Managers don't last 5 minutes cos they are shite, are paid handsomely and get a huge pay off.

In fact some Managers have made a career out of failure with regular sackings and pay offs.

They're all coming out now trying to link the Chelsea story to City and the Mags!

Desperate!

Have any of them linked the American owned Clubs yet as being a problem for the English game?

Careful. Deputy Prime Minister is a courtesy title based on the fact that Mansour is AbuDhabi's rep on a UAE talking shop. He has no exec power and is not a member of the government of AbuDhabi or of the UAE .

Or the Executive Council which makes all the decisions. Or advises on them..

Interesting that if the British government or the FA decided to restrict or even strip Saudi or UAE owners of their assets, it would be the equivalent of theft given there is no reason to sanction them. Given that they are friends of people in very high places, I'm sure the British government would be more than happy to risk a blockade of Middle Eastern oil and lack of support from the region as a consequence of giving Stone, Delooney and a Burnley fan what they want.

Its absolute nonsense backward thinking. In their own little world, Chelsea has been punished specfically for football ownership reasons, rather than it being one of a lot of companies all treated the same by most of the West.

The stupid thing is, there’s far more likely to be sanctions on the Glazers asserts as they are constantly on dodgy ground financially. I’d imagine their UK contribution to HMRC being below what it should be is a far more scenario than The UAE waging war on the west.

Yes, I was using gov to mean E.C.which is indeed the gov.

I see the "Wah..... Wah.... its not fair" brigade are out again.
Trying in some way, any way to link City with what Chelsea's owner is guilty of smells like opportunistic self interest to me.
Wanting money out of football by the fan of a club just taken over in a mega millions deal by a yank owner.
Pathetic really. As one of the hateful 8 I hope they go down.

I would describe the relationship with the UK as in decline because the UK is in decline as a world power. It does not make any sense for the UAE to continue this relationship. It will just die.

But is it subservient? Are you struggling to understand the question ?

Lawro's latest 'star guest'......no me neither but, seems he'll be a City fan shortly and chases bits of silver.

ArrDee was born in Brighton and grew up a Manchester United fan - well, kind of - but it was Chelsea who won him over when a schoolfriend sparked his interest in football.

"It's funny because my old man always gives me stick about this - he has always been United through and through," Arrdee told BBC Sport.
