Please I need a confirmation on the information I recently received regarding two clubs owned by the same person not allowed to both participate in the UEFA Champions League which means that one club must have to participate and the other club not allowed to. Furthermore, I've heard that Girona FC and Manchester City are both owned by the same person. If this is the case, I'd like to know your thoughts on which club you would support in reference of the above information.

You pretend like you are the recipient of some top secret and elusive information, yet the owners are pretty well known for all the biggest clubs. This is not much of an issue for the billionaires behind these clubs as they are often just trophies and toys. If there was a scenario that a billionaire wanted to own both, there are all sorts of structures that can be dreamed up to disguise them, but a risk analysis will be done to avoid these simple conflicts. If it looks like a club is in danger of violating this rule they might offload the weaker club, but it would seem fairly common they might own a scrappy smaller club along with a bigger one, just to see if it's possible to build one up from the grass roots and build more of a legacy for themselves.
