I wonder if the brief that Masters was given prior to accepting the CEO role was that he needed to complete the investigation and bring charges against City. He accepted this brief while other candidates turned it down for these reasons. Wild speculation on my part, but I think he is simply doing what he has been told by the key stakeholders that appointed him. He accepted the poisoned chalice.
Not wild, but entirely possible.
The appointment was turned down by at least 2 successful applicants and another resigned after a short time, citing interference or similar.
The rags & dippers then demanded a veto on Masters and, following his recommendation for the post, met with him privately.
Given that those two clubs were leading PL & Uefa protagonists against City, it stretches credibility to believe that 'Get City' wasn't front and centre in their discussion and strategy.
Masters is a pasty faced,weak as piss, suited, consultant type, who has proven that he can't run a bath. He's been bought and paid for by the yanks and now finds himself out of his depth in deep shit facing Kool Hand and the best lawyers on the planet.
He won’t survive all this..... and neither will the cartel.
We’ve beaten them at football, beaten them structurally, beaten them financially and we’ll now beat them in the kangaroo court,before moving on to grind them under our heel.
History will demonstrate that disrespecting the integrity of HH Sheikh Mansour comes at a very high price to be paid over a very long time.
