Manchester City Sponsorship Legal Action

Bem-vindos de volta. Prometemos mais uma atualização sobre a

situação do Manchester City.

Kaveh voltou a juntar-se a nós. Kaveh, quais são esses

grandes acontecimentos?

Bem, a principal patrocinadora do Manchester City diz

que está a considerar tomar

medidas legais, hum, contra a Premier League.

A Etihad Airways, hum, é a companhia aérea estatal

de Abu Dhabi que tem sido a principal patrocinadora

do Manchester City desde 2009.

Acho que, em 2011, assinaram um acordo de dez anos que

valia 400 milhões de libras,

e que desde então prolongaram. Agora, divulgaram uma declaração muito,

muito contundente esta noite e, na declaração,

dizem que estão a procurar aconselhamento jurídico para proteger

os seus interesses. Ora, por que fariam isso?

A razão, claro, é que tivemos esta decisão da Premier

Comissão da Liga, ontem à noite, que disse que

os donos do Manchester City estavam inflando suas receitas

de patrocínio. E... e disseram que, alguns dos acordos de patrocínio

do City eram acordos fraudulentos.

Não eram contratos reais. Agora, tenho que enfatizar que

a decisão publicada que recebemos

ontem não mencionava a Etihad

Airways, mas, obviamente, a empresa se sente muito,

muito forte

sobre isso. E, em um comunicado que divulgaram nesta

noite, dizem que a Premier League não se envolveu

com eles

e não tiveram a chance de fornecer informações relevantes

à Premier League.

Eles reconheceram que não foram mencionados na decisão publicada,

mas eles

dizem que isso, entre aspas, “Criou

implicações prejudiciais para a Etihad Airways.” Agora, nós

entraram em contato com a Premier League, hum, para obter um

comentário. Eles não vão comentar, hum, esta noite

Original transcript (English)

Welcome back. We promised you another development in the Manchester City situation. Kaveh's rejoined us. Kaveh, what are those big developments? Well, Manchester City's principal sponsor say

they are considering taking legal action, uh, against the Premier League. Etihad Airways, uh, is the Abu Dhabi state-owned airline which has been Manchester City's main sponsor since 2009.

I think in 2011 they signed a 10-year deal which was worth £400 million, which they have since extended. Now, they have released a very, very strongly worded statement this evening, and in the statement they say they are seeking legal advice to protect

their interests. Now, why would they be doing that? The reason behind it, of course, is that we had this judgment from the Premier League commission, uh, last night which said that Manchester City's owners had been inflating their sponsorship income. A- and they said that, uh, some of City's,

uh, sponsorship deals were sham deals. They weren't real contracts. Now, I have to stress that the, uh, the published decision which we received yesterday did not name Etihad Airways, but obviously the company feels very,

very strongly, uh, about this. And in a statement which they have released this evening, they say that the Premier League did not engage with them, and they weren't given the chance to provide relevant

information to the Premier League. They acknowledged that they weren't named in the published decision, but they say it has, quote, "Created damaging implications for Etihad Airways." Now, we

have, uh, contacted the Premier League, uh, for comment. They are not commenting, uh, this evening
