In 2015, Etihad told the US government the Abu Dhabi government did NOT pay for its Man City sponsorship - Etihad said it funded it from its own liquidity. You couldn’t make it up. 💀 1915469

Chris Cooper @cmec22.bsky.social · 25/09/2026We were told there'd be no appeals process, so the fact they're apparently going to be able to do that is bullshit. As is no "sanctions" being issued which just gives room for a tame settlement. They're going to drag this out another year or two. INEOS better be working on a lawsuit regardless. 130

Chris Cooper @cmec22.bsky.social · 20/09/2026If Carrick doesn't see out the season/month (as he shouldn't on today's evidence) then that should be it for Wilcox and Berrada too, following the latter's own "two year" rule. The transfers aren't even the worst issue from last summer. If we can't dope-up the fitness of this lot soon, we're fucked. 010
Chris Cooper @cmec22.bsky.social · 20/09/2026We might turn it on later in this calendar year, but it's obvious now those in charge have fucked the start of this season. The transfers or lack-of are one thing, but we look by miles the least fit team in the league & there's little of any tactical value to show for having a pre-season to prepare. 100
