CFG

In August 2017, CFG purchased 44.3% ownership in Girona.

In order for Girona to meet Uefa requirements to compete in the Champions League alongside Manchester City, CFG had to transfer shares to a blind trust, and significant changes had to be made to restrict their influence and decision-making power at the club.

Commentator Riera told BBC Sport that the main advantage of being owned by CFG is a more professional structure.

Riera considers sporting director Quique Carcel to be the "key to the last decade" of success at Girona, because "he's the figure that's always been there", before and since the CFG takeover.

"These allegations are weighty," Tilewa Adebajo CFG Advisory tells the BBC.
