Could be massive for them this could.

[Hassony]

so quick, hopefully DIC will feel they will want to compete with Abu Dhabi and push through for the Liverpool deal to go through

[Mike]

makes me sick to my stomach that. how quickly it happened and yet we still have these scummy c**** dragging us down.

Parry can't even sort out a simple transfer that quickly

[Keita]

how do these guys compare to DIC

Abu Dhabi is probably even richer than Dubai, although I think DIC have more experience (hasn't counted for much though)

[Stevie H]

gets the FA out of a hole too.

[Mike]

bought outright apparently

[Murphman]

Thank feck the window is about to close.

[Gunga Din]

the top 4 next season will probably include Man City now.

[Mike]

They've got that potential?

We need to get the yanks out ASAP or we'll start falling (more?) behind.

Can't we put pressure on the FA to talk to Hicks and Gillet about the "proper and fit" rule they have come up with to own the club

We're somewhat lucky this year that we had players who we could sell for reasonable fees. Once we run out of sellable fringe players what's going to happen if we don't get additional investment? Start selling our star players to raise cash (well we almost did with Alonso)?

Ah f***.

 

Unless we get the yanks out and get our own rich arabs in, we could well be the team most at risk in the top 4, if that's the case.

I think Arsenal will need to be looking over their shoulder too.

no if there is one thing H&G have over anyone is that there records are fairly clean... man city for 200m shows that us for 3 or 4 times that amount is not unreasonable

Is that the price? Surprised, as Thaksin needs to sell and they have a rather large neighbour already established in the city.

they would pass fit and proper. we cant go the FA and complain because the owner is skint

they dont even own their own ground. we were grossly underpriced when we were sold. it was a monumental f*** up by our advisors.
