- Manchester City have been found guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules for nearly a decade. An independent commission found "sham" sponsorship deals with Abu Dhabi companies hid more than £900m in owner funding.
City's owner is Sheikh Mansour, Vice President of the UAE. Now the UAE is reportedly threatening to pull billions in investment from Britain. And Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who built his career as mayor of Manchester, says he would be "really concerned" to lose the club's owners.
So what did Abu Dhabi buy in Manchester? Can a Gulf state face consequences in British football? And is City an outlier, or a symptom of a game run by states, billionaires and Donald Trump's friends at FIFA?

Hasan, a former US Army psychiatrist, was sentenced to death in 2013 for the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, that killed 13 people and wounded 30 others.
Hegseth claims that the shooting Hasan carried out was a "radical Islamist terror attack": he further asserted the execution would take place at the site of the shooting on December 3, at the same time of day as the attack.
