    One thing I’ve observed over the years is that it’s incredibly easy for Greeks to become shipping magnates

    Guy I know in Houston is related to a Greek furniture importer and his family moved from Greece to Bulgaria because it’s safer there

    Can someone give me a ruling:

    Is this better or worse than if it was a fake company funneling Mansour money into the club to balance the books?

    Tough one, on one hand they’ve defrauded actual people not just put football clubs at a competitive disadvantage. On the other hand, the victims seem to have decided investing into a fake currency backed by a sports team was a good idea….

    From reading the article, I got the impression that the fraud had started long before City was involved with them as a sponsor, and that the deal was suspended within days after it was announced after the questions of their legitimacy came to light.

    Incredibly bad look for City, but I didn’t come away from that article thinking City was actually involved in any fraud

    I don’t want to minimize the concern about that though. That’s not my goal, just wanted to be clear about what they did wrong on this specific deal

    That’ll teach them to seek outside investment.

    Can’t they just operate like everyone else and take money from reputable companies preying on gambling addiction or tourism of 3rd world dictatorships? (Please remember to visit Rowanda)

    Agreed. But catering the schedule for the top 6 is bullshit. Either play a scheduled round or don’t play.

    Top 6 teams are full of internationals. That’s the reasoning. Nottingham Forrest isn’t sending 12 players to the World Cup

    Arlo White and Gord Miller (for the hockey fans) are similar to me in that they’re both technically competent announcers but get way too excited for every even remote chance in the game.
