Correct, particularly UEFA. Notice all the ‘Etihad’ signs covered when we play CL games.

On the City stadium and academy tour, the guide motioned towards the hand sanitisers either side of the players pitchside entrance.

They had small pieces of tape on them - leftover from the previous days CL match, covering the very very small logo of the hand sanitiser just because it wasn’t one of the CL’s official sponsors.
Just in case a camera would catch and zoom in on them… causing the collapse of the exclusivity of CL sponsorship… unbelievably petty for such a small thing (I can understand Etihad stadium branding), and I doubt (and hope) there wasn’t even an official CL hand sanitiser sponsor.

& the underpaid staff, driving, checking them in, preparing their food & rooms & carrying their luggage.

I wonder how much they tipped them knowing of their struggles……

Completed misnomer.
Many of these guys and gals are there by choice having previously worked in KL, Dubai etc.

Most are multilingual and well educated and are developing their experiences and CVs afore planning their next career move.

90% of the population of some middle eastern countries are migrants from somewhere....UK,Australia,Spain, South Africa, America,Ukraine in addition to Asian & African countries.

More people have been killed in America so far this year by their own government,Police or citizens than anywhere else on the planet.

Migrant Blue collar workers originate from very hot,humid climates and are used to such conditions, its the norm.

Their accommodation zones are better than some student accommodation in Manchester and their pay levels are very substantially higher than anything the could earn in their home country....if they could find any work !!

Travel broadens the mind but ignorance is bliss

Im well travelled & I’ve spent a lot of time in the Middle East. I’m calling out the journalists for their hypocrisy.

Journos in the main are not only hypocrits but very nieve..thinking that the public can't see through their bull shit. Spent last 2 months slating WC (rightly so) now they are over there...moaning about lack of atmosphere and lack of fans etc. Couldn't make it up..they are just cnts in the main

Might as well leave the city crest off. Everything from the way he's acting the **** at Dortmund to his family 'demanding offers' suggests he's the type of individual we will walk away from.

These reports may not be true, but Txiki’s investigations will find out what sort of character he is. Of course, Haaland can give us a steer.

If journos have been able to cover Qatari abuse of workers and criticise the regime (and rightly so) from the UK then they can cover the world cup from the UK. They are hypocrites and being there won't enhance their coverage other than being able to comment on the atmosphere and fan experience.
