The feller who wrote that, David Conn, brought out a book recently about City's takeover by that Abu Dhabi lot. He basically described the new regime there as fantastic stewards of Man City. A lot of eyebrows were raised at the time because Conn has the reputation of opposing the commercialisation of the game. It looked like he'd been bought out for a big fat fee.

He looks to be trying to win back some credibility with that piece.

Whereas the UK is the paragon of virtue and never illegally occupies sovereign nations like Afghanistan or Iraq, or allows CIA rendition aka torture flights anywhere near British airspace, or has anything to do with international arms trafficking and the opium trade... I just wish the Royal Family would buy Everton.
