      Aahh yeesss. Sports washing. The art of growing your small/unsuccessful club into a larger more successful one without waiting 3 decades for it to happen naturally… such a crime.

        Nope. It’s the process of using something that people love and care about( football ) to improve the image of something or someone terrible. In this case , an autocratic nation. The method -cheating financially to win trophies and creating legions of people willing to make excuses for you and lie for you. Like City fans

          Aaahhhh yes and no one has ever cared about it until City started to be successful. Success really does have a way of bringing out the jealousy in others. I’m not a city fan so I guess I may be biased but seeing City become a top team hasn’t changed my opinion on the Arab states at all, not even 1 bit.
