PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

So let’s have a look at the evidence……

Prior to 2008 no-one gave a flying fuck about Abu Dhabi
At the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix no one gave a fuck about Abu Dhabi, nor the golf, cricket, or business.

But the whole idea is that an Emirate that had never really been criticised bought a club in the premier league but only after carefully considering a club whose fans would defend them.

So the club with no fans were the reason they bought them because those “no fans” would defend the emirate that had “no criticism”.

Fucking genius…….

The shame is that there are interesting angles which could be explored in a scholarly fashion. For example: Is the Mansour investment in Manchester City sportswashing? To what extent do the fans of Manchester City protect the club's owners from criticism? How did the Mansour investment in Manchester City change the football landscape? How do we place the Mansour investment in Manchester City within previous and subsequent billionaire owner acquisitions and the previous 50 years of football ownership?

Each of these would be interesting as long as they don't start with an assumption as a conclusion: Mansour is sportswashing; his investment was bad for football; City fans are AD proxies, etc etc.....

Maybe we should start a Bluemoon University to write some of these scholarly articles. :)


Edited to actually include a comment :) Sorry about that.

Breakfast on BBC Sportsnews. European night. Great. But all the BBC Breakfast people are interested in are the teams at the bottom of their group?? No mention of the current holders or leaders in their group Manchester City?? Disgraceful.

BBC is fucking scum head to toe. Did you see that news report about the U.A.E last night? Total fucking hatchet job, making out like making business deals at a global convention is a war crime.

Its getting to the point where I don't see how you can pay that license fee and call yourself a City fan.
