Omar Berrada was City’s Director of Partnership Sales until 2015 when he got promoted to VP Commercial Director.
To suggest the Commercial Director of the club played no role in alleged breaches of commercial sponsorship in that exact time frame can be nothing but disingenuous.
🚨 | Omar Berrada did not play any role in the sponsorship and salary deals that have led to Manchester City being charged with 115 alleged rule breaches by the Premier League. [

In case you’re wondering if this statement is true, it’s not.
In the 31 years since the Premier League was formed, the team that won the league has had the most wins or tied for the most wins in every single season.
Every single season.
Been on this train for a long time. Love that Henry is putting himself out there like this.
Does a playoff determine the “best” winner every time? No. But sometimes, neither does a straight season-long table. It rewards the team who loses the least, not the one who wins the most
