    Yeah, I read this earlier too. It's original source is that ex-Everton guy who seems to be trying his hand as an ITK journo source... Keith something or other. No end of mostly negative soundbytes from him all summer. Thankfully the accuracy count is, I think, somewhere close to zero with all of them, thus far.

    Long haul. I understand the Arab mentality quite well.

    Yep. Long haul. It’s effectively a pension fund funded by oil. They will see what the Emiratis have done at Man City and want the same.

    Only thing that might change their minds would be if Man City case about sponsorship goes against them and they decide potential for growth is more limited.

    I suspect Stavely left because she was expected to put in her 10% share of investment to support club operations and more importantly to fund investment in stadium and she couldn’t afford to.

    As you say, when it comes to investment she is out of PIF's / Reuben's league
