Soon they will sign a new commercial partnership valued a few billion quid with an arab company named Al sharikat Al muzayafa.
Oh ffs, some people on this site need to take their tin foil hats off.I am shocked that a paid-up Qatari blogger came to this conclusion. Stunned.
Blogger paid by country, famous for paying celebrities to promote their country, to promote their country and help the transaction of a purchase designed to promote their country.Oh ffs, some people on this site need to take their tin foil hats off.
Do you think, if it’s already confirmed, no individuals will be punished that it’s a way to help the PL case against the club? If there’s no threat of individual sanctions it may be a lot easier to get the information needed to nail City.City won't release the info to the body investigating them so I seriously doubt United have somehow got the inside track on what's been going. Or that he himself would just offer up the info and his role.
More likely United, like everybody else, know there won't be any individuals held accountable. It'll be City the club punished.

Yeah possibly. Could be part of the deal and negotiations which will no doubt be going on.Do you think, if it’s already confirmed, no individuals will be punished that it’s a way to help the PL case against the club?

They’d just do it quietly and off the record. Couple quiet conversations about making it go away and job done. It’s literally happening constantly!The government cant overrule the Premier League as that would be a breech of FIFA rules which ban government involvement in Football.
The Bristish Government have spent a lot of money of gaining the rights to host Euro 2028 so I cant imagine they would want to risk England getting a FIFA Suspension which would likely see Britain stripped of those hosting rights.
No worries and yes, I agree with you.@GiveItToGi...nowait
Forgive me, I was some way through a rather extensive reply and deleted it as this subject hugely comes down to what you believe in and what you expect, or wish, the outcomes to be based on that. There's a lot of idealism on one side and cynicism on the other, even down to what the fans deserve or can expect to see.
Juve's recent case for 'false accounting' saw most of the main culprits (Agnelli, Paratici, Nedved among others) get banned from working in football varying 8-30 months. Paratici didn't even work at Juventus anymore but had to step down from his role at Spurs because of the ban.Unfortunately at these levels the perpetrator gets a say in what their punishment is. I'd be absolutely amazed if any individuals get called out.
I think the difference is that our authorities haven't really got the stomach to go that far. Maybe I'm being pessimistic but in this country we specialise in making it look like we're serious about an issue when really we're not. It's like MP's in front of a select committee. It's just a performance.Juve's recent case for 'false accounting' saw most of the main culprits (Agnelli, Paratici, Nedved among others) get banned from working in football varying 8-30 months.

If City's charges are proven and the club gets hit with some serious punishments, I don't see how any of the individuals high enough in the food chain could walk away with no personal charges against them.
Is this claim actually true, TeamViewer is currenty valued at £2.4b so its really hard to believe that when they agreed to sponsor us back in March 2021 their offer was greater than their companies value when the offer was only £235m.When TeamViewer sponsored United their offer was greater than the value of their company. Did anyone even care? The rules are different for United
It is a bit strange that UEFA decided not to appeal the CAS decision when their lawyers advised them they shouldNot that I'm a lawyer or familiar with these laws, but I am guessing that perhaps they could not go after City for the same issues after the CAS threw it out?
Perhaps, but maybe they thought it would be a waste of resources? If CAS threw it out the first time then maybe UEFA assumed they would again. I am just guessing here. UEFA are certainly as bad as FIFA, but I don't think they have any incentive to go easy on city. Prestige is very important to UEFA, and is one of the very few things keeping the looming super league at bay. If they could have, I am sure they would have wanted to throw the book hard at city to show that they are still in control of things.It is a bit strange that UEFA decided not to appeal the CAS decision when their lawyers advised them they should
The thing is 2 of the 3 people on the CAS panel were chosen by City so at least if UEFA had have appealed to the Swiss Court the appeal would have heard by a fully independent panel.Perhaps, but maybe they thought it would be a waste of resources?

That can be looked up very easily. Revenue for 2020 was 460m. IPO in 2019 valued the company at just over €5bn.Is this claim actually true, TeamViewer is currenty valued at £2.4b so its really hard to believe that when they agreed to sponsor us back in March 2021 their offer was greater than their companies value when the offer was only £235m.
And more importantly - the claim was made by @Bluelion7 which is a pretty certain indication it'll be bollocks.That can be looked up very easily. Revenue for 2020 was 460m. IPO in 2019 valued the company at just over €5bn.
Used to listen to the United Stand religiously until around a year ago when they posted a show entitled “Kane Bid!!”. Clearly implied that we were moving for Harry Kane. Then the show started and it was “so COULD we make a bid for Kane?” And “Would Harry Kane come to is IF we made a bid”.Fecking hell what a muppet
Yeah they are at it again today with the United agree 34 million transfer thumbnail BSUsed to listen to the United Stand religiously until around a year ago when they posted a show entitled “Kane Bid!!”.

Who is the we he's on about. He's not one of us, he's a charlatan, not having it he ever supported United, it's just a money making venture where he pulls in many gullible people.Fecking hell what a muppet
They were valued at $2.71 billion in 2021, they're currently worth less than that. So the claim is simply not factual.Is this claim actually true, TeamViewer is currenty valued at £2.4b so its really hard to believe that when they agreed to sponsor us back in March 2021 their offer was greater than their companies value when the offer was only £235m.
Getting tricked by obvious clickbait at this point isn't something I'd readily admit. It's simply part of the business model, has been for many years.Used to listen to the United Stand religiously until around a year ago when they posted a show entitled “Kane Bid!!”.

As I said I listened to all the shows. Didn’t click for the title. Was listening regardless. Wasn’t “tricked” into anything.Getting tricked by obvious clickbait at this point isn't something I'd readily admit. It's simply part of the business model, has been for many years.

Yeah and can afford best lawyers money can buythe most blatant corruption in top level sports, being allowed to dull and fade by time.
Yes and Troyes is also part of the City group.So he was just on loan at Girona? So they are buying him from Troyes?
INEOS need to sell Nice and Lausanne imo.You can be bloody sure if we Tobido or someone else from Nice the media will go into meltdown
Ah right I see. Nothing dodgy happening here at all then.Yes and Troyes is also part of the City group.
I think If they did that would be the biggest indication that the plan is of an eventual full takeover.INEOS need to sell Nice and Lausanne imo.
Must have been tough negotiations like between Salzburg and Leipzig. They have been at it for years and no one at UEFA seems to care.Yes and Troyes is also part of the City group.
A player from a Ligue 2 club who's spent the last 2 seasons "on loan" at top division clubs in other countries, then moves to one of the best teams in Europe, without ever having played for his real parent club in Ligue 2.So he was just on loan at Girona? So they are buying him from Troyes?
Are you suggesting Man City would resort to nefarious dealings to circumvent the rules of football?A player from a Ligue 2 club who's spent the last 2 seasons "on loan" at top division clubs in other countries, then moves to one of the best teams in Europe, without ever having played for his real parent club in Ligue 2.
It has to be about getting around work permit rules, at the very worst it's basically just human trafficking.
