For all people worried that we don't have enough depth for both UCL and EPL next year: If it comes to that I think our management will focus on EPL more. 

 

The reason for that is that qualifying for UCL next year is much more important than this one. Starting from 2024 UCL is changing format to 36 teams in the group stage and each team plays 8 games. Which means much more games played. Which means much more money. 

 

I'm sure people in the club are aware of this as well, so I think we will give it our all in the EPL next year, and if we get good results in UCL, even better. 

 

One good thing is that, by new rules, 2 best countries in the next year will get one extra spot for UCL. 5 of the last 6 years, EPL would have got it.

Absolutely everywhere in Dubai. All

the buildings seem to be lit up with the name of the company that built them/own them. Classy :lol: 

 

It was three main ones plastered all over the place. Emaar were everywhere and the biggest one, I think. A mate lived in a Damac building. The other one began with M.

That logo wouldn't actually be that bad, and there are much worse sponsors you could have then a middle eastern retail tycoon, especially one that isn't linked to the Saudi state.

I always think that Stavely and Mehrdad are such canny operators across the Middle East, that they could easily bring in sponsorships etc not directly linked to Saudi.

 

They could run rings around the FFP rules made by the corrupt 6 nonces.

Yup. Mohamed Alabbar is the link. He oversees them, is on the Noon board and is close to PIF. Might be bollocks mind, it’ll all be a slightly Man City way of doing things you’d imagine but at least it’s a little less overt.
