Saw this in the Guardian's "Fiver":
"Recently, City purchased New York City FC and Melbourne Heart, two clubs whom, along with Manchester City Ladies FC, recently acquired from them £22.45m's worth of "intellectual property", effectively children paying their father for the privilege of surname use. "The structure is designed to ensure that each of these entities can draw upon the world-class football and commercial capabilities that exist within the City family," reckons Ferran Sorriano, the City chief executive. "Selling nebulous things they own to other things they own, when the average football fan would think there is no reason not to give them away for free," reckons the Fiver. This is notfootball. The problem is that notfootball precedes football. Old Sheikho Mansoury was not suddenly captured by reverie and captivated by tales of Trautman, Bell, Baker and bananas. Rather, Manchester City, a proud club with a proud history, are now the public relations arm of an oil emirate" http://www.theguardian.com/football/...er-notfootball |
