UEFA Ask City Football Group to Divest its ownership of Girona

[No One Understands]

https://www.espn.co.uk/football/sto...ity-girona-owners-given-ucl-clearance-options

City asked to reduce its shares or transfer all their shares in one of the two clubs (city or girona) to a blind trust controlled by UEFA so that both clubs can compete in the champions league next season. Otherwise, Girona would have to drop down to the Europa league.

Not sure how I feel about this, but one thing I do know, is that I hate UEFA.

Did Red Bull do the same ?

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

I thought we already owned less than the limit of Girona

Reasonable request for me.

This is the huge downside of multi club ownership and it could affect the fairness of a competition and that is not right.

Er…City dont have any shares in Girona. It’s about CFG over whom we have no control.

The downside is we cannot loan them any players.
Savio who we are supposed to have signed will have to come to us or be loaned out.
Yan Couto who the Rags are showing an interest in who we might have left there for another season will have to either come to us or loaned out.
Eric Garcia will go back to Barca so the squad will be decimated and we cannot loan them anyone.

Shit does that mean no more loan move for foden ?

They already segregate clubs from the same country in the group so for me, segregate us and Girona in the group as well. If we get them in the knockouts, both clubs will want to win so it wouldn't compromise the integrity of the competition.

Girona have exceeded expectations and CFG probably didn't think they would qualify for the CL, at least this soon anyway

Yes completely agree. Its wrong on many levels and before City started doing it the vast majority of fans on here would think the same.
