Extent of Manchester City’s corruption revealed in the full UEFA judgement – Etihad renegotiated deal four times despite being tied to club for 10 years

There is lots of ridiculous things that have come up in the full report that has been released on Manchester City’s FFP cheating.

Ultimately the Court of Arbitration for Sport let them get away with it – largely as it was time-barred – meaning the misdemeanours occurred over five years ago and were no longer legally challengeable.

But this information Nick Harris has shared on Twitter regarding the Etihad sponsorship deal is insane.

Back in 2012/13, City had the biggest sponsorship deal in world football already, with Etihad.

Alarm bells should already be ringing, in short – but the company then – and we kid you not – renegotiated this already enormous deal four times.

There was nobody else competing for the contract, so why on earth would any sane company do this?

It’s blatant corruption, as journalist Harris sarcastically points out in this viral Twitter thread below.
