In the daily fail - Spartak Moscow trolling Bayern's bid for Mane. Funniest for me is 13m if United lift a trophy!

I wonder why that isn’t being trumpeted further in the media? Could you imagine the uproar and cries of justice if this had happened to Liverpool?

I wonder when Kaveh Solokohl will do his little piece on sky sports news on the Nunez deal and tell us all an inflated figure by adding up all his agent fees, wages and transfer fees and getting a figure roughly 3 or 4 times the actual cost of the transfer.
I won't hold my breath.

All those journalists stroking their poles at the LIVGolf event trying to shame the players and destroy the event by talking about sportswashing.
I wonder how brave Nob Harris and others will be saying the same thing whilst on their WC jolly in Qatar?

'Phil Mickelson, could you be seen as a Saudi stooge?'
Six-time major winner Phil Mickelson says "I don't condone human rights violations" when asked if he had qualms about playing in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf event.

Sports washing by Arabs is the new big thing and they have moved on from just City doing it now.
It's a bit more complex as the original tweet is from someone who focuses on the care sector, and is more concerned that it's pretty much a foreign govt seeing children's homes as a money spinner. Lots of his posts are about private care, and he also points out that one of the people who (at least I think he's saying this) made most money from the Italian sale was a big Tory donor - so aiming at them too.
Entirely legitimate concerns in my opinion.
The guy making the link to Erling Haaland and City writes about human rights issues in the Middle East, and is essentially click-baiting by trying to link the two (and the link is there as Khaldoon Al Mubarak is CEO of the fund that bought the company). He's worked for Human Rights watch and his focus on the area doesn't appear to be the same kind of convenient interest that a lot of Liverpool supporting journalists seem to have recently discovered (although the red team do appear to have been given a free pass for playing in Qatar because they asked him for advice first!). Whether you think trying to link genuine concerns with Man City to raise their profile is valid, is a different argument.

The other thing that confuses me in the post by City is the name His Highness.
I always thought that Der Spiegal tried to use the HH as proof that Sheik Mansour was the person who sanctioned the so called "Etihad additional payments" when in fact his title is His Excellence ... or have I got that completely wrong ?

I bet Newcastle fans can't wait when they make their Robinho type signing to get the same shit flung at them during their unveiling.'Phil Mickelson, could you be seen as a Saudi stooge?'
