Sheikh Mansour doubles down on Manchester City with £100m injection despite legal row

Sheikh Mansour has reaffirmed his commitment to City Football Group despite Manchester City’s ongoing legal battle with the Premier League by investing a further £100m. Filings at Companies House show that 11,327,163 new shares in CFG were allotted on 14 October, raising the nine-figure sum. A spokesperson for CFG confirmed to City AM that the shares were bought by Sheikh Mansour’s Newton Investment and Development, marginally increasing his majority holding. The transaction came two weeks after the Premier League announced that Manchester City had been found guilty of more than 100 counts of breaking financial rules in order to increase their spending power, helping them to become England’s dominant team.  City chiefs have appealed the verdict, which they said “contains clear material errors of law, principle and fact and is unsafe”.
