Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre has become the new chapter of the challenge from the sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways from Manchester City.

£ 400million deal includes naming rights to Eastlands, an important factor in yet-to-be-built training center near the stadium and expand its sponsorship shirt.

As Etihad is an airline based in Abu Dhabi, home of the Blues owner Sheikh Mansour was expressed that the agreement was artificially inflated to help the City meet the demand for UEFA to live their means in the context of the initiative financial fair play.

Arsène Wenger earlier this week said the deal "to raise a genuine problem of the credibility of financial fair play", and the Ayre has now added his voice to the chorus of disapproval.

Quoted in The Independent in the club's preseason tour of Asia, said: "It Etihad, Manchester City and Sheikh Mansour a related party if they are, is UEFA to comment?.

"When I spoke with Soccerex earlier this year, I was a group of financial matters for fair play. Friendship UEFA administration has said it would be appropriate and robust process, related party transactions".

It will change the name of the stadium, added: "It has happened throughout Europe, where the football team has named its current stage, and it was a real value.

"It 'been called the City of Manchester Stadium, Eastlands, or the last nine years, and now must be something else - and someone has paid a huge benefit from it.

"I find it strange, because there is no point of reference for football that says you can rename the stadium, and to produce that amount of value. Mike Ashley Newcastle tried [sportsdirect.com @ St James' Park]. But no calls this, and not a value. "

From the town on Tuesday night issued a statement calling Wenger's comments "baseless and unfortunate."

The statement added: "Manchester City is a member of the pro-active European Club Association and an active and transparent about the financial fair play".
