PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[BMR]

The translator for Manchester council says it also means United. My own Gulf Arabic is not quite up to it, so I go along with him.

I believe it actually means union, so some people may interpret that as United. Either way who cares as that's not our name and our owners have made us the best team in the land and all the world :)

I always remember some utd fans at the time laughing at us because they thought they'd got one over us saying Etihad means United.

Not laughing now are they.

There was an interview with one of Etihads bosses who said it can mean United, Unity, all things along those lines, but was trying to put the point across that it was about ‘togetherness’.

Etihad means United.

It doesn't, not that it really matters but Etihad translates as: Union.

Someone senior at City once said (in regard to the media) "Revenge is a dish best served cold'.

I think I know what they meant now.

I was surprised to not see Der Spiegal among the targets.

Dipper actually. Redbird have an 11% shareholding in LFC..

I wonder if The Liverpool Echo who own MEN are to be targeted?

Wrong. See MEN at the time. Official translator for Mcr says United is one of several meanings.

Just go to Google translate and translate from arabic to english, sorry you are wrong not me. Or

Manchester City stadium: Does the Arabic word 'Etihad' really mean 'United' in English?

The announcement by Manchester City that the club has signed a deal to rename Eastlands as the Etihad Stadiumsparked claims from football fans that the Blues had unwittingly scored an own goal.

I know more Arabic than Google translate.
Now here’s a surprise for you: Etihad does not exist in Arabic. It is a transliteration of a word meaning together(ness).

Both are owned by Reach PLC, who own the Mirror, Express and lots of regional titles.

I assume the Echo is as shite as the MEN.
