Watch all the goals from the FA Cup first round. This planet is where we live, it's all we have - Vince. The best of Black History Month Today's football gossip. It's not looking quite as simple as good old Bill makes out now, is it? ADUG also wanted a club with a very strong presence in the community that they could invest in and expand, and City have been winning awards for their City in the Community CITC programme for many years.
The partnership with Etihad is key to that, and we are now seeing the second stage of why a national airline would partner with Manchester City ahead of other clubs. There is a City liveried, Etihad plane flying all over the world from its base at Manchester International Airport.
The same airport also hosts a new Etihad aircraft service and engineering facility as well as an Etihad Airlines call centre. The picture I paint is somewhat different to the one offered by journalists and commentators that "these Arabs" will soon get bored and leave City in the lurch.
Long-term investments in youth and community are key to City's future, yet there is very little talk about that outside of Manchester or in the press. The purchase of City was more than a whim, it was a well-thoughtout decision to get Abu Dhabi known throughout the world. Abu Dhabi wants to be known for all the good things that wealth and opportunity can bring. For the plan to work, Abu Dhabi needed a club with history and values, with a community presence, with great infrastructure, with opportunities to physically grow land and with a recognisable location Manchester.
Additionally, ADUG didn't want to simply buy a club that had won everything and was already understood to be world-class, like Manchester United or Chelsea.
In order to reap the fullest benefits of their investments then the chosen club had to grow with ADUG and Abu Dhabi's involvement.
The brands of MCFC, Abu Dhabi and Etihad and others will grow and mature together, and at each stage the investments will be in people, in community and in quality. The truth is that MCFC was the prefect club for Sheikh Mansour to invest in, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying, ill-informed or Bill Kenwright. Lincoln City. Nicolas Anelka.
