Oh what a shame .... :lol:

Sorry, but I'm being forced to watch this game (either that or American football ...)

Not quite, if they can demonstrate independence then they will get away with it. RB Leipzig and Salzburg have
Its different.

The 2 RB clubs are independent clubs with different boards and owned by different parts of the Red Bull company. They now have no common links. Of course it’s a little tenuous / dodgy granted, but enough for UEFA.

Girona and Girona B are part of the City Football Club. All their clubs are owned, financed, and run by the same group of people. The only way that they could get around it is to push Girona away as they claim to own less than 50% of the shares, but that would mean pulling the funding and they would fall quickly. It’s well dodgy anyway as the other major shareholder is Girona Football Group, run by Pep’s brother 🤣🤣🤣
 
Was at Olympic Stadium and the venue next door for Iron Maiden in 2022 and 2023.

Can confirm its a hike and a bit 🤣
It is at least a mile from the nearest metro, and most of it is uphill. If the escalators are working it is doable, but if not you are buggered. Wouldn't even dream about it if I was elderly of immobile!

2 different parts of the red bull company, but still the same parent. And they definitely trade with each other as a single entity!
 
Not entirely. Girona are owned by the same owners as Man City, so if they finish top 4, they will not be allowed to enter next years CL, or City will have to withdraw.
You and I both know that they'll find a way around that. Money talks. The middle.east wasn't able to apply for a world cup until 2038...
 
Will they be allowed to swap players if and when they want?
They already do. For example, they have a Venezuelan lad who plays regularly that they were given by City in the summer. He had 6 seasons at City where he played no games.

They don’t anymore. They stopped after a UEFA investigation. At which point they removed all RB employees from the Leipzig board, and stopped all trading between the 2 organisations. They have no links to each other anymore and are owned by different entities in the RB organisation. As I say, it’s tenuous, but is very different from the clubs in the City Football Group who are all run by the same set of directors.
