Girona changes board of directors due to UEFA

Registration of Girona are champions It seems to be taking shape after the changes demanded by UEFA to join the Catalan club. The relationship between the ‘Girona’ entity and the City Group has shaken up the office. Montilivi As it concerns a very internal issue, senior officials had to thoroughly investigate the matter to find a solution.

The relationship with Manchester City should not be an obstacle for both teams to play in the continent’s biggest competition. Therefore, Girona and UEFA agreed on a series of changes beyond the permitted period to avoid the risk of being penalized in the time-share in which both clubs participate and to avoid a suspension. The quality of “Gironin” satisfied the European body, and little by little the changes took hold.

That’s right, Girona and Manchester City will play in the Champions League and may even co-locate in the tournament where the format debuts next season. One of UEFA’s nice conditions was that the weight of Girona’s fortunes would be reduced; City Football Group, which held 47% of the club’s shares, would not exceed 30%.

Everything seems to point to a trust, a transfer of those shares to a partner or new company approved by UEFA itself. That’s where the three new names come in: Matthew Sheil, Edward Hall and Paul Huston, who were approved at an extraordinary meeting of the club. John McBeath, Simon Cliff and Ingo Bank, who have all been linked with Manchester City, are now out of their positions, a necessary step if they are to play in the Champions League.

Shale, Hall and Houston are partners at Wiggin Osborne Fullerlove, an international private client law firm that provides bespoke legal services to high net worth clients. As the firm’s website indicates, the firm has a strong reputation for its work in tax, trust and estate law and personal wealth matters.

Girona would also need to prove that the club is independent in its day-to-day running, which would include issues in other departments such as communications, sponsorship, marketing or scouting, which would prevent the two sides from sharing valuable information and knowledge.
