So the story of the Mubarak family and their connection to the Al Nahyan family, who are at the center of the Emirates and Abu Dhabi, it, it, it's something that we're very conscious of all the time.
John GunnisonGUEST
And the team was an important part of the story of the Mubaraks, of the Al Nahyans, of Abu Dhabi, of the Emirates.
John GunnisonGUEST
It was very much a state project, and that's what's being alleged by the Premier League.
John GunnisonGUEST
You know, the, the charges against Manchester City are about something that I thought it was already understood was happening.
Stephen HowsonHOST
Yeah.
Joe SmithHOST
The Abu Dhabi Royal Family/government did.
Stephen HowsonHOST
Yeah.
Joe SmithHOST
And that isn't us, even though I'm in both, and it is both, and we're all in this together.
Russell GuyverHOST
Will they go ahead with a potential case against Man City? Possibly, possibly not.
Russell GuyverHOST
The Bordering podcast, which is former Liverpool and Aston Villa chief executive Christian Purslow talking with esteemed football journalist Henry Winter um perslow suggested that in his mind from calculations he's made that there would be something potentially in the region of 550 to 600 million pounds worth of claims going against manchester city which would be a gigantic amount i cannot see the abu dhabi royal family um backing them to just pay those amounts of figures would they be leaving the club? Would they leave them in the lurch? Could this actually be fatal for the current incarnation of Manchester City? Possibly so, certainly if that many people pursued legal claims.
Russell GuyverHOST
I think the better scenario might be that a class action may be brought by a number of interested parties, mainly higher flying Premier League sides in each of those seasons involved.
Russell GuyverHOST
that would allow them to win a collective fee perhaps that could be spread you could even have it on a wider scale involving other clubs who feel that they've been wronged maybe even including in the cup competitions Stoke and the Albion come to mind in regard to that Sunderland, I think, or another one.
Russell GuyverHOST
But with the Champions League, there is a huge chasm.
Russell GuyverHOST
Even just for competing in it, just going at an arbitrary level and getting knocked out, you are much more beneficially aligned by having that.
Russell GuyverHOST
So how many times would clubs potentially have lost out on Champions League places to a Manchester City side that may have been only the fifth, sixth, seventh best side in the division without the vast wealth, well, the extra money spent by that vast wealth supporter, which is the Abu Dhabi Royal Family.
Russell GuyverHOST
So there is that.
