And exactly why this isn't jst the American's fault. Investment in City is sports washing at its finest, just as Chelsea was 15 years ago, and PSG as well.
This isn't just about a love of the game, this is about showing a presentable face to the West for Shieks and Oligarchs so that people ignore how they got their money or the regimes that prop them up.
The City group is essentially at investment made by the UAE, Mansour being the front. I mean it doesn't take much to turn over the most arbitary stone and see the human rights violations in the UAE by a family who will not accept any political opposition from sexual equality to basic rights. Yet throw some pocket change to develop a bit of NW England and everyone turns their heads.
Look at Newcastle fans wanting the takeover from one of the most brutal dictatorships in the world, just because it got rid of a fat businessman they didn't like.
I'm all for the outcry about the SL, but if the pearl clutching only happens now, where has everyone been looking over the past decade?
