Arsenal Update
- I am told there is relief around the nature of Kai havertz injury and initial fears of a long term injury have been alleviated.
- William Saliba is progressing very well but both club and player are cautious to put any timelines on a return due to the nature of the injury.
- Arsenal have been working on the Declan Rice renewal for some time as reported many months ago. Due to it being one of the biggest player contracts in the clubs history it’s taken some time 👀⏳
- Andrea Cambiaso is a player who the data team are highly impressed with. His stats have got scouts now attending games to further develop the analysis around his ability and versatility. Long way to go before interest develops further & Juve adore the player. Cue the ‘ ofcourse another LB’ LOL.

🚨City have officially announced they have lodged an appeal - hearing to take place soon | #MCFC
🚨December 2012 - #MCFC exec. emails Abu Dhabi contact requesting £42m in January 2013 — £27m via Etihad, £15m via Etisalat.
Not as owner cash, rather, purposely routed through the partners as part of a “disguise”, so the auditors fail to pick up on it as a separate source of funding. The same move Etihad made the year before for City.
That’s the whole game. Shareholder money dressed up as sponsorship so the books look clean. Board had already approved of the funding arrangement, they just didn’t want it looking like what it actually was - a breach of several PL financial rules…🧨 (according to the independent commission’s published findings).
- Sham contracts and sham agreements with commercial partners, which misrepresented the true deal and disguised owner funding as revenue. The commission stated this conduct was “clearly intended to circumvent the PL Rules.”
- Misstated accounts, and concealment of the true finances from auditors and football regulators. The result was a failure to accurately report income and expenditure.
- The Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, and UEFA’s Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Rules. Correctly reported, the commission said City would have breached both spending limits by a very substantial amount (~£920m according to the commission’s findings).
City have since filed an appeal ahead of the 2 October deadline and are reportedly ready to argue that the extra sponsorship money came from the Abu Dhabi government, not the club’s owner, Sheikh Mansour.
