The term sportswashing is a term coined by Delooney and his mates, it has no basis in fact, because of the tribal nature of football, And more importantly the need for clicks to generate income, all you need to do is tell the fans of the red tops you're not winning anymore because City are a state owned club with unlimited funding, most of them having a lower IQ than a chimp believe it. Kerrching.

There’s no such thing as sports washing. It was a PR message used by human rights groups to highlight their campaign for workers rights. All nations across the world invest money in diverse portfolios for profit. The Gulf states are also keen to move away from reliance on dwindling oil reserves. The idea is a fabricated concept.

Hehe I'm still waiting for fans of ANY club to sing about sportswashing. Shows how much matchgoers bother with the shit written about it.

Not sure they’re dwindling just yet, mate.


Edit, I guess they are dwindling from the first time they are drilled tbf! I just meant there’s plenty left.

I also hope he makes a full recovery, for his and his daughters' sakes. They are the innocent ones here and, having tragically lost their mother, need their father.

I believe he was one of the group who, for no good reason other than outright malice, tried to get me sacked from my job and I know another couple of City fans he and his cohort hounded into depression.

So I also hope he has cause, while hopefully recovering, to reflect on some of those actions, not just in his vindictive writing about us but more so on his personal abuse and harassment of individual City fans, and come out of it a better person.

I hope he makes a full recovery and then really badly stubs his toe.

Is that fair?

Perhaps not but the Gulf states are investing hugely in renewables because they want to keep their income streams. Sheikh Mansour himself has made a fortune from tech, finance, renewables, and of course sport. To suggest his motive for this is to improve his nation’s image is absurd. It is a farcical claim which does not stand up to scrutiny.
