| 0:00.0 | And Gab, he's Jules, Blue skies over West London, Blue skies over West London, Blue |
| 0:10.0 | skies over Madrid with Kila K has landed it's all official the |
| 0:15.0 | Madrich may be staying as well I don't know why I'm putting definite articles in |
| 0:18.6 | front of their names but seems appropriate but we have to start with this huge |
| 0:22.1 | story breaking in the Premier League. |
| 0:25.3 | It's a story that's actually dates back to March but because of of the secrecy on disclosure, blah, blah, blah, which would primarily do everything |
| 0:38.0 | for good reason, they say, this was only really broken wide open by the times on on Tuesday. |
| 0:47.0 | It is a little complicated. |
| 0:49.0 | I have a Q&A explainer up. |

| 1:42.0 | are Parisians, your man did, yeah, there you go. reason why they can't do what your friends of Paris Saint-Germain did. |
| 1:43.8 | Yeah, there you go. |
| 1:45.0 | The two, there's no like 200 million, Etahad couldn't pay Citi, 200 million to sponsor their shirts. |
| 1:52.3 | Etah, of course, the flag carrier from Abu Dhabi city owned by members of the royal family of Abu Dhabi so there's obviously a related party yeah what they do is if they put in a 200 million sponsorship of City, the Premier League or Uefa, they go and they say, all right, we think this sponsorship is inflated. |
