Etihad Airways' deal to be investigated over financial fair play

Loopholes

Uefa's financial fair play chief admits that he has 'some questions' over Etihad Airways' sponsorship of Manchester City. The Abu Dhabi owned airline have been involved with City since Sheikh Mansour's takeover in 2008, agreeing a shirt sponsorship deal a year later and most recently renaming their ground the Etihad Stadium over the summer. No financial details over the 10-year naming rights have been disclosed, but the deal is reported to be worth around £400million, which in turn will fund the new Etihad Campus for youth development at the club. Critics, who include Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, have accused City's deal as a way to overcome Uefa's new financial fair play regulations, and that the matter should be investigated. Jean-Luc Dehaene, chairman of Uefa's Club Financial Control Panel, said: "I have some questions, yes. "But it would be dangerous for our authority if we take judgements without facts."If we see clubs that are looking for loopholes we will act. "It is not enough to say, 'We've got a sponsorship contract and that's okay' if the contract is out of line." City chief executive Garry Cook, meanwhile, has been speaking highly of the new Etihad Campus project. The complex will feature a new 80 acre training complex close to the Etihad Stadium, including an academy for 400 players, 16 football pitches, an injury rehabilitation unit and a 7,000 capacity stadium. Cook said: "The Etihad Campus, which constitutes some 210 acres is unique in its breadth, depth and length of term. "It involves the tradition, which is shirt sponsorship, the naming rights of the stadium, but what we haven't seen in football is a campus, creating a place to be, to work. "We've got a great relationship with Etihad. It's a long-term programme and they are equally very excited by it."
