ADUG was 100% owned by Sheikh Mansour but ownership of CFG was transferred to a company called Newton Investments and Developments, which is also 100% owned by Sheikh Mansour.

NI&D owns 76% of CFG, with Silverlake owning pretty well all of the rest. CFG owns Manchester City Football Club.

Did we ever understand why ownership changed from ADUG to NID, PB? I always wondered if it was to do with the PL investigation sniffing around ownership and the change making it easier (or, I suppose, more difficult) to prove ....

18 months or so ago the wording on the website: CFG is majority owned by Newton Investment and Development LLC, with significant minority shareholdings held by Silver Lake (14.54%) and China Media Capital (CMC) Consortium (8.24%)

Current wording on the website:

CFG is majority owned by Newton Investment and Development LLC, with a significant minority shareholding held by global technology firm, Silver Lake (18.16%)​

All of which suggests NI&D own north of 76% now. I've not looked on companies house but there was that weird adjustment when CMC dissappeared and an equity contribution of IIRC c £26-£27million.

Who bought the shares of CMC?
Wiki currently has ADUG 81%, Silver Lake 18% and CMG 1%. ADUG is wrong.
CFG are reported to be planning an IPO to raise USD 850m but they have‘nt said what they are selling or why.
CFG recently set up a Midco subsidiary probably to own football clubs. The IPO may be about NYCITY stadium development and they are selling part of the Midco.
Alternatively, ask the Grauniad.

I thought a Chinese company owned 10 to 13% have they been bought out.

Bless. Such naivety.

We 'own' the spirit of the club. That's all.

The soul of City is ours and ours alone.

 

[Keeper!]

The fans are Manchester City FC, the Sheik is a custodian of the club,

Ño we didn't ever understand why ownership of CFG was transferred to NID. However I can't imagine why it would have anything to do with the investigation. The PL wouldn't have access to ADUG/NID under normal circumstances.

The only reason ADUG was involved in the CAS hearing was to prove that no significant transfers were made to City during the relevant timeline.

It's all the same place.

No. Silver Lake own a chunk, though it isn’t completely clear how much which depends on the transfer of CMG shares. I thought @Prestwich_Blue was correct but CFG’s own website says differently.

We all know, because the Grauniad told us, that Mansour is a fake front for the state of UAE.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I thought City is owned by a dodgy Arab state?

I heard that Mansour is bribing every single company involved with citeh and that they use CGI to put fans into the stadium.

Pretty sure I read it in one of the newspapers.
I am not 100 percent tho, wolves fan here in peace.

They might in the South Stand but in CBL3 they fill it with FOCs - that's where all the singing and matchday noise comes from.

I take issue with that, as I sit in CBL3, unless the F in FOCs stands for Fairly. Also, I don't make a peep, except when we score.
