Girona

This. One of their best players is Savio. He is Troyes record signing, on loan at Girona. He has never played for Troyes. Coincidentally Troyes are also owned by City, and Savio is supposed to be off to Man City in the summer so he will probably never actually play for Troyes.

I didn't know any of this. Not quite the romantic story I thought it was. :lol:
 
Can guarantee if we were part of an ownership group we’d solve any potential problems like this by both teams being absolutely shit and being on the brink of relegation in two leagues at once

I really don’t understand a) how multi-club ownership is allowed and b) as supporters of the club(s) who are part of them why you’d want to be. You’re either being used or cheating, I’m sure I’m missing something just seems like a shame that this what sport is becoming.

Troyes seemingly having no benefit over Savio being on their books. Never played for them and they could get relegated again

Happened with Strasbourg as well after Boehly/Chelsea bought into them. Their fans are still protesting about now. It’s a disgrace it’s allowed to happen!!

Can't have the same individuals in the same jobs overseeing both clubs, so people in the ownership move jobs and they can then both play in it

Aleix Garcia is a hell of a player. Going to be all manner of clubs in for him this summer (unless he goes for a convenient fee to city)
 
I went to see them play Real Sociedad last Saturday. The majority of the stadium is scaffolding. It’s a bit of weird atmosphere.

You can tell it’s a small club/townish feel with a lot of local pride but there is a strong feeling of commercialism there

Actually owned by The City Group - semantics I know, but it’s more direct than just having the same owners. It’s about to possibly become a nightmare rather than a fairytale. The City Group have been given an ultimatum if Girona qualify for Champions League - either sell majority of ownership and remove all links between Girona and all other clubs owned by The City Group (in which Girona as a club are screwed), or one of Man City or Girona will be excluded from the Champions League.
