The two sides to Pep Guardiola's legacy
His greatness should be celebrated as arguably the greatest coach ever and definitely the most influential
But he has worked as the key figure at a club being used as a "sportswashing project" by Abu Dhabi

Team suspected of spying on training sessions - EFL conducts an investigation within a week and kicks the team out of a competition immediately
115 financial charges - PL will get back to you on that in a few years
VAR has been a total unmitigated disaster for football.
We could just turn it off. It's not that hard.
Why don't we?
We have to reclaim our sport from being Americanised dirge.
We will rebuild everything. But no one will give us back our 24 dead, including 3 children.
Also buried under the rubble: the illusion of peace talks. russia only knows one thing: killing.

City can dress it up any way they like.
They were terrified of UTD fans vastly outnumbering home fans for the youth cup final at the Etihad.
They can’t even tempt them to go to the Joie stadium for crying out loud.
VAR is a horrible experience that has made the Premier League worse by magnifying football's grey areas. It's not worth it.
Column.

Carrick on Youth Cup venue: "I'm disappointed. Getting to the Youth Cup final seems to have always been where you you play at the main stadium. It's such a showcase event for players of that age group. I'm sure the game itself will be good, I'm looking forward to going." #MUFC
Over the past two years, the latest conflict in Sudan is estimated to have claimed at least 150,000 lives.
Now, human rights organisation FairSquare has provided the latest calls for the British government’s Foreign Office to consider sanctions and investigate the role of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al-Nahyan — owner of Manchester City and deputy prime minister of Abu Dhabi — in the UAE government's alleged support of a paramilitary group accused of committing war crimes in the country.
This follows on from former leader of the Conservative Party Iain Duncan Smith stating in parliament in January that Mansour was “possibly the most high-profile UAE investor in the UK economy” and arguing that the Foreign Office should undertake a “full assessment of whether representatives of the UAE Government may meet the criteria for sanctions”.
The UK government has already sanctioned several private individuals and organisations in connection to the atrocities taking place in Sudan, which UN officials have stated carry “hallmarks of genocide”.
The UAE strongly denies being a party to the conflict or supporting either side.
@jwhitey98 explains why there have been calls to investigate potential sanctions against Man City's owner and what the possible consequences would be.

Six months since City fans protested outside the Etihad over ownership links to Sudan’s genocide.
Sheikh Mansour is still arming the RSF - the militias raping, murdering & ethnically cleansing Sudan. US intel intercepted his direct calls with Hemedti, using “charities” as cover to funnel weapons & aid.
The UN Panel found “credible” evidence of UAE military support. Reuters exposed the funding of RSF training. Sudan’s own UN rep accused them of recruiting foreign mercenaries.
Roman Abramovich was rightly forced to sell Chelsea over far less. Mansour gets a free pass because UAE money & geopolitics matter more than a genocide.
Football opened Pandora’s box the day it let nation states own clubs, something that never should have been allowed to happen - & there’s no turning back.
Can’t understand why City not agreed to FA Youth Cup final being moved to Old Trafford with club ruling out Etihad in race to ready North Stand
Ask those #MCFC U18 players if they’d prefer to play in front of 70,000 or 7,000
What an opportunity missed
