City behaving like sportswashing trash. Colour me shocked.
Utter bottom feeders.
I'm sure you have a research file somewhere.Which facts are "out" ?
A Manchester City Council spokesperson said: “We reject any suggestion that the sale of the sites involved in the Manchester Life joint venture was not a good deal for the council and the city.
“Land was valued by independent experts, using the nationally accepted ‘red book’ valuation benchmark, and we got the best overall deal we could for each site at a time when there was very little market interest in the area. The value of that deal includes not just the initial receipt for the land but also site-specific overage arrangements, and profit sharing payments. These were always envisaged as longer-term arrangements – the council is due to receive several million pounds in this financial year through the first such payments.”
The council added the Manchester Life developments had “acted as a catalyst, creating confidence and attracting further investment into the area” and had paved the way for new homes and business, generating “significantly more for the city in extra council tax and business rates income”.
Councils never lie. Why are other parties pissed off that they weren't given the opportunity to bid?FWIW, this is the council response
The dodgy campaigner that did the deal now works for CFG. Mansour being the owner of a successful football club legitimises all the dodgy s**t he does.What's it got to do with sports?

He doesn't work for CFG or Man City and as far as I know he never has.The dodgy campaigner that did the deal now works for CFG. Mansour being the owner of a successful football club legitimises all the dodgy s**t he does.
No idea, just passing along their response.Councils never lie. Why are other parties pissed off that they weren't given the opportunity to bid?
I'll correct that, apparently he does. I thought he was working directly with Manchester Life, but it seems he's got an advisory role on the campus (and surrounding area) development.He doesn't work for CFG or Man City and as far as I know he never has.
Yeah he joined 4 days after leaving the council. I'm sure all the transactions with Mansour while he ran the council were legitimate.I'll correct that, apparently he does.
He announced his resignation in 2016. He finished with the council in March 2017 and didn't join CFG until November 2017.Yeah he joined 4 days after leaving the council. I'm sure all the transactions with Mansour while he ran the council were legitimate.

He got a job with Manchester University 4 days after he left the council according to his wiki page.

If you give councillors enough cash they'll wipe your arse for you.Manchester council should not be doing business with a person of Mansours character
considering his work as chairman on the Abu Dhabi judicial department. His brother was cleared of torture which was outrageous:
Half-brother of UAE ruler cleared of torturing merchant
High-profile case involving Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan caused intense embarrassment to US-backed Gulf statewww.google.com
Is this the sort of person Manchester Council should be doing business with?

No conflict of interest I'm sure.
This guy is a bit of a bluffer but he is well connected and he's not wrong about Jim Ratcliffe.
It was a publicity stunt.Didn't Ratcliffe throw a dodgy last minute bid in for Chelsea which seemed more about publicity for himself? Or am I remembering it incorrectly haha

No idea but he has the money.Didn't Ratcliffe throw a dodgy last minute bid in for Chelsea which seemed more about publicity for himself? Or am I remembering it incorrectly haha
Similar price to Chelsea I'd imagine.How much would United sell for?
