One of the most iconic, sad, but truly beautiful pictures in the history of Manchester United. Real Madrid in Salford at the grave of Eddie Colman. President Santiago Bernabeu laying flowers. A Tale of Two Cities.

This is not ‘just a football story’ but rather a story of a city-region in northern England aligning its economy into the orbit of an authoritarian state in the Gulf, accused of human rights abuses at home + terrible war crimes in Sudan.

A group funded by a British “tech leader” called Omar Mir & advised by ex-England defender Ryan Bertrand wants to invest £87m in Wimbledon. They’d get 90% of the economic value but 49.99% of the votes. The fans would keep a veto & they must back the deal.

AFC Wimbledon will present an option to members that will aim to secure the long-term financial future of the club:
- Club remains majoritively Trust-owned (50.01%)
- Investor Omar Mir will invest £87m over five years
- Trust keeps control of stadium freehold

It's fascinating that the local newspaper terms our academic work on the Abu-Dhabi/MCR deal as 'ideological' but not the partnership between the powerful neoliberal growth regime and an authoritarian Emirate state, let alone its own claims of 'the truth'

Over 1,000 Reds packed into that terrace yesterday
Like the lads on the pitch, you gave your all. When our backs were against the wall, you only got louder. Your support was magnificent and unwavering
We need you again on Tuesday night at Broadhurst Park

As Premier League execs prepare to take legal action against Manchester City, spare a thought for @FCUnitedMcr whose plans to build a ground in Newton Heath were thwarted at the same time as Abu Dhabi ‘regeneration’ of east Manchester was gathering pace.

@andyburnham Hi Andy, just listened to your Rest is Politics interview. On Man City can you confirm (a simple yes or no will suffice) that it was in your diary to meet Khaldoon at No10 Downing Street on 14 September. But for obvious reasons you cancelled all engagements that day

"Manchester council bound by gagging clauses in City property deals"
Lack of transparency in the Abu Dhabi-Manchester deal was built in. I suggest we need government reform to ensure public accountability of property deals/ 'investments'

Take no notice of @TimesSport today @ManCity
We’ll have you at LSP next season. Can you bring your speakers though we’re not allowed to use the tannoy. Oh, and a few rakes for the excess grass, nice one.
£7 in, cash please, no offence, but you know… 😉
See you soon 😘

The thread that I'm going to tweet in the next few mins contains some seriously disturbing information about a sexual predator that landed Man City in court a few years ago. So, genuinely, if this is a subject that could adversely affect you, don't click on links, or mute me. 1/n

Oh, BTW Bloo, I do some legal work for lawyers on a pro bono basis, eg when 8 former mcfc players went to court for careers lost after being sexually abused at City as kids by predatory paedophile Barry Bennell. City’s lawyers called Bennell to gaslight them in court, from prison

🔴 YOU OWN IT - HELP RUN IT
If you've ever stood at an FC game and thought ‘why don't we do that?’, ‘we could do this better’, or ‘I know a bit about this’ - perhaps don't leave it as just a thought.
