🇬🇧 UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, said on Friday he would be "really concerned" to lose Manchester City's Abu Dhabi owners, after an independent commission found the club guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade. Burnham described the Emirati owners as "a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester." Downing Street later clarified that "nobody was above the rules." The commission found City used sham contracts to inflate its commercial revenue by more than £800 million across nine seasons. The club is appealing the ruling. It is owned by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, vice president of the UAE, which for the past three years has been sponsoring genocide in Sudan. The Telegraph reported this weekend that UAE officials have warned Burnham's government that harsh penalties could jeopardize billions in Emirati investment in Britain, and damage relations. Abu Dhabi is reportedly reconsidering private funding for the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor, a major government infrastructure project. 🎥 Joshi Herrmann (@joshi) from the Manchester Mill speaks with LBC about the role Emirati funding played in Manchester’s revival.

Just been calling 📞 our contacts regarding our earlier posts. Premier League referee Michael Oliver was allegedly paid £20,000 to referee a single game in the UAE. We understand the match was funded by the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).

🚨JUST IN: MANCHESTER CITY COULD BE FACING THE REST OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE. Rival clubs are reportedly weighing collective action if City’s punishment for the financial-rule breaches is viewed as too weak. The frustration reportedly goes beyond the punishment itself, with clubs concerned about political and economic influence entering the picture amid reported UAE concerns over the consequences for City. The reported stance is simple: No special treatment. No exceptions. If City get preferential treatment, clubs could consider refusing to cooperate with them. That would create an extraordinary showdown between City and the rest of the league. One league. One set of rules. They should apply to everyone.
