In defence of the media the issue isn't just that we take money from Abu Dhabi but that we are owned by Abu Dhabi. Sponsorship deals from Emirates etc aren't the same as the clubs are not 'state owned' but we are. It's a subtle difference but for the media a crucial one . We see them the same but the media want to make the distinction
We aren't owned by Abu Dhabi we are owned by ADUG(who own City group) which is a private investment company owned by Sheikh Mansour alone.

Even if they could make that distinction though, is it difference enough to ask one set of supporters to justify human rights issue in UAE over another who's club is "only" taking millions upon millions from there every year?

FFS we are not state owned
 
If Prince Charles owned a football club and that football club was sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland, would they be state funded?
 
I have now read through 550+ pages of shite......all I want to know is , if they have concluded their investigation then when do they release the results?

NOT. Our sanction....just the results?
Surely the findings should be released now? They don't change?
 
No news is good news
Then release to the world"..we looked and found eff all....no case to answer.
They ( UEFA) should be forced to make their findings public...........
That does not in anyway affect any sanction or compromise City or UEFA position?

They either found something or not........
Perhaps we should investigate HOW a major final ends up in Baku?
I am sure there will be no cause for concern......it is the obvious place to have it?

Just one point. Sheikh Mansour is the majority shareholder of ADUG but there are minority Chinese shareholders too. That alone should tell these fuckwit journos, rags, dippers, etc. that City are not owned by a country. Neither ADUG nor City have access to a sovereign wealth fund (which would be the very definition of state owned) and there wouldn't be shareholders from another country either.

When it was referred last week or whenever it was, I read that the next stage of the process could take months
