Here's your fun New Year tinfoil hat Manchester City conspiracy theory.

The Premier league's VAR is based in the IMG studios at Stockley Park.

IMG and the Premier league have an ongoing relationship for digital output and they manage VAR for the league.

One of the largest shareholders in IMG is a company (or possibly a pension fund) called Silverlake.

Silverlake are a minority shareholder at Manchester City, buying 10% of the club for £369m in 2020.

So, the second largest shareholder in Manchester City is one of the largest shareholders in the company that runs VAR for the Premier league.

You're welcome.

 

Silly. It's just a coincidence.

Whilst that's funny that still doesn't allow for it not being VAR that is the problem

The technology works fine 

Today's operator left the Bentley at home and arrived at Stockley Park in his Lamborghini.

Indeed. The officials aren't on the Silverlake payroll, it's PGMOL. It's like discovering the refs' whistles are manufactured by a company linked to Abramovich.

Rice is a very good player, but he is so far up his own arse I’m surprised he doesn’t roll around the pitch like a tyre.

Good player but an awful lot of smoke gets blown up his arse. He hasn’t won anything yet (although he’s only 22) and he plays for a second rate side with low expectations.
