If this happens, football as a professional sport is finished for me. I'll lose interest and pack it in.

Sure, Citeh will have a few seasons in the sun... then some boffin will invent a car that drives on seawater, the arabs will go bust, and it'll be Man City down in CC League Two losing to Dagenham & Redbridge on a dreary December afternoon in Essex.

UHHH! Well so far they are'nt being allowed to buy the club by our Owners, especially Hicks, what's to explain?Originally posted by Darth Marty View Post
It's infuriating knowing they are there, and the ****s that are H&G wont sell for a fair price, if i didn't know we had this sort of buyer so keen to buy the club maybe it would be a little less frustrating.
It's like the possibility of the dream coming true is just around the corner..but the Fat **** Hicks is blocking the way, and up to now there seems no way to pass the ****wit.Last edited by Vermilion; 02-09-08, 06:28 PM.Comment

And is this Mark Hughes wish list.
Sounds like he turn up on sat morning being told to play the 11 forwards they've just bought
They'll need a ego manager not a football one
If the owners are comming out with all this comes across like they're power mad.

A bit more on SSN now.
He's not short of a few bob then.The new owner of Manchester City, Dr Sulaiman Al-Fahim, has intimated that Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG) could back a £135million bid for Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo in January.
The agreement of an ADUG takeover deal at Eastlands was announced on Monday and was followed by the shock capture of Real Madrid forward Robinho for a British record fee of £32.5million.
Chief executive of Hydra Properties, Al-Fahim is reportedly 10 times richer than his counterpart at Chelsea, Roman Abramovich, and he has revealed there are plans to bring in a 'minimum 18' players to the club.
"Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious," Al-Fahim said in The Guardian.
"Real Madrid were estimating his value at $160million (£90m) but for a player like that, to actually get him, will cost a lot more; I would think $240million (£135m). But why not? We are going to be the biggest club in the world, bigger than both Real Madrid and Manchester United."
It is also reported City will look to target the likes of Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas as the club aim to build a side capable of achieving success in Europe's most prestigious competition.
Al-Fahim added: "We want a team who can win the UEFA Champions League. We're not just going to spend money on anyone, but if we can get the biggest players in the world, and of course if the manager wants them, then we will get them."Comment
