A scary number of people on here are too young to remember but no one called City's takeover state ownership at the time. Sheikh Mansour bought the club and it wasn't until 3 or 4 years later, probably with the Qatar purchase of PSG that people started referring to City as the same thing.
Go back to 2008 and all the coverage is about the individual Sheikh Mansour, there was no sense that the UAE state had bought a football team.
I really don't like the snobbishness in the reactions to this story. Education is always something worth persuing.
Obviously he had to put his education on the back burner as a kid, given he was professional footballer by the time he was 16. If he wants to go back to it now he's older, even though he has no need to, it should be praised and supported instead of mocked.
Either way the next IFAB meeting is in March so it can’t happen before then.
All 5 of the panel members thought it deserved a red.
