Daggers Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 Nothing really. Just that you've spent time digging up articles trying to make a point that you don't like it..about 3 times over Twice. The first was poo-poo'd for its political bias and so I presented complimentary research from a different political perspective. It's how clever people hold a debate. Have ADUG themselves been involved in torture, detention without trial, etc?I don't know much about the company but from a very brief look around the web I see no mention that they are government-owned... It was stated on the announcement on 5live. All I have to confirm this is that Sulaiman al-Fahim is going to be the representative on the board. He is Chairman of Hydra - a wholly owned subsidiary of The Royal Group...who's name gives away who owns them. Which is, so my understanding goes, common practice for large UAE companies to have a shareholding by the Royal family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovejoy Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 They won't finish top 4 this season, no way, however in the next 2,3,4 seasons they might do something if the new owners really back the team as is being promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr The Singh Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 ADUG were only formed 2 days ago! It makes no difference they have the money and the premiership is all captalist!! I don't think it's worth getting upset or angry about there are many a nation who have far worse human rights records, having committed acts of genocide that run or have a hand in UK business or because of it's status the UK and other nations choose to ignore there attrocities!!!

We all know what the FA and PL are like in terms of moral value, it's just what happens now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeCovFox Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 They Will Never be as good as ManUnited. They will certainly never be as big as United. But there is no reason they can't be as good. Chelsea were'nt as good as United before Abramovich. Unfortunately, money is king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simi Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 One crook out and it looks like another in. Do the Premier League care? Do they ****. This will bring the Premier League more exposure in foriegn countries and better players to the Premiership so it's even easier to market. Makes me sick these people are allowed it, hope we never get back in the Prem. Wankers. Oh, have to laugh at the Man City fans on SSN. "Top four this season". Clueless fools.

maddog Posted 1 September 2008 Share Posted 1 September 2008 What the fook i mean what the!?!?!? This makes our Milan look well poor. "We haven't had a lot of time, but our idea is to bring in more players during the next transfer window. "I don't want to put a figure on what will be available, like £100m, because more than that might be needed." This guy must be a complete legend or a total nutter. 100m must be pocket change to him . Come on Man City, get Berbatov, Benzema, Villa, Gomez, Robinho, Ronaldo, Cech, Carragher, Gerrard, fook it just sign them all Id love to see them get in the top 4.

What price our souls for a promise of Premier glory? I wonder how many on here would make a Faustian pact to guarantee top-flight success? I'll bet we're well in the minority. It'll make the fun I'm having this season all the more enjoyable while it lasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
