Probably, or outright supporting city. It’s often said in the press Sawiris has a good relationship with city / Abu Dhabi. With his ambition I wouldn't be surprised to find out he considers Man City the model club / ownership group.

Pretty sure we are edging to City side since apparently we enjoy a good relationship with them

If this was a Fulham or a Brighton they'd already be in championshp by now

The spin over this was ridiculous. The city PR machine in full swing.

Sad state of the league and no one says anything because they're all part of the PL product sales pitch 

So you're saying there's a chance!?

nope. it's just 2 aspects of city's challenges to the APT rules that have been upheld. the majority of city's challenges have been rejected

but that wouldn't make a good headline that gets lots of clicks would it.

Thanks for that mate, as a friend of mine sent me the headline and I presumed just that.

I think out of 115 cases against them, some would be unfavourable to us if ruled against city. So in some cases it's not unwise to hedge our bets.
