What have they actually valued their womenâs team at?
Angel FC were sold last year at ÂŁ192m and the previous record was ÂŁ92m.
This has a wiff of Cityâs dubious sponsorship deals about it.

I think you are right, it is prevalent almost everywhere as everyone wants to find an edge. As a matter of degree, Chelsea are on the extreme end of it, exploiting loopholes in a way that reminds me of Man City.
There are key differences - nation state, despot regime v hyper capitalist venture cheats. While one wants to pump money in via inflated sponsorship deals, the other has pumped money in via frozen oligarch assets, and is now selling pieces of itself, to itself, for profit! Itâs absurd.

Donât Barcelona do some shady shit where they sold the company that runs their first team or something?
They sold several legitimate arms of the buiness to external buyers. It was less this sort of shady self-dealing and more a case of selling their furniture to cover shortfalls in revenue. Itâs likely more damaging to them because they were legit businesses whose ongoing revenue had been factored into the clubâs revenue projections.

10 mins in and Iâm already remembering why this team is so unlikeable. There was no basis to stop the play for that yet they are acting hard done by with the ref not stopping it. When the ball finally went out and he sat himself down to complain the ref actually did them a favour by not letting the corner be taken.

And Arsenal had the ball when Gabriel was already injured but decided to play on.
