And nobody ever claimed they were owned by your owner. But they are run by the Abu Dhabi royal family. Your holding company that owns the club is an investment fund for the Abu Dhabi Royal family so the relationship is obvious.
You're either misinformed or simply making things up.
ADUG isn't an investment fund for the Abu Dhabi royal family. Never has been.
Only Man City fans are deluded enough to claim that Sheikh Mansour's control of these state owned entities has no relationship to them all "sponsoring" Manchester City. Your club is effectively a state owned operation of Abu Dhabi even if it isn't officially on paper. Much like Amanda Staveley saying her patterns are the "PIF" and not Saudi Arabia. Yes on paper that is technically true but in reality they are one and the same. And we are seeing that already by Saudi ministers getting involved with the Premier League ruling on related sponsorship rules.
So shall we go by the legal documentation, or just "the vibe".
And I'm not sure why you think Mansour has control over state owned entities. Or is that just the vibe as well?
You've repeatedly tried to claim that this rule only applies to Newcastle if it's brought in. It will apply to all clubs and to suggest otherwise is just not true.
Newcastle have signed a shareholder agreement with the PL that says they will abide by any rule that is voted in by a majority of clubs (14+) and isn't vetoed by the FA so they can have zero complaints if it goes ahead. Man United also will not be able to just load the company up with commercial income from Glazer majority owned businesses so this will affect them just as much as Newcastle.
