Does he mean opposing price rises as we haven't got £600 billion dow the back of the sofa?

Ferrari World? Give me a break - for too red.
Jag world or British Racing Green World on the other hand - now that would be somthing...

Selling players generates cash flow to buy other players. Building a stand initially requires net out flow until revenues are generated at the end of the build contract....2 years s2f ?

The fall (rise) in oil has had a bigger impact in GCC than many would imagine & MAY be behind some of the infrastructure decisions at City and wider.

Had we kicked on and won (say) 2 more titles,2 more FACs,CL final & blown records left & centre with fans breaking the doors down to get in via an expanding wait list matters might be different. But things are actually goin the other way and HH Sheikh Mansour is a very well informed hard headed businessman who wants returns on all investments.

If he was such a genius businessman he would not be sanctioning price increases that will piss off the fan base and lead to less revenue

Not sure of the detail but City was an investment by our owner that he has structured to be run by ADUG.
His initial investment is surely over and he now expects ADUG to run it profitably for him.
ADUG stand or fall depending on how good they are at making profits for him, they have their Holding Company to sort out the financial profits regarding their global investments so really not our owners responsibility now.

Can @CrownPointBlue please clarify what he means by the behaviour of our fans?

15000 empty seats from 80 mins onwards.
Lack of enthusiasm & atmosphere.
Constant,never ending petty carpin about the club,the team,the coach the executive & by association the owner !!

City is one of many investments by Abu Dhabi to promote the strategic development of the country.....it's NOT the OTHERWAY round.

HH Sheikh Mansour is a City fan but he's a patriot & immensely successful business man first.

Beware the grapes of wroth.......I don't care much for Gillingham.Milwall or Rotherham !!

 

[CrownPointBlue]

So if all this is true why doesn't he put the club up for sale, why would we continue to buy other clubs abroad, why would we appoint the most courted manager in world football, are you sure your not a rags fan ?

Have a word with PB,he's doing a pasable impression of the invisible guru skulking out there in the shadows.

 

[unexpected item]

Keegan at the Mail will be writing a 'Sheikh Mansour unhappy with City fans' story as we speak....Sources in Abu Dhabi are said to be dismayed at the sight of 15,000 empty seats fifteen minutes before the final whistle.
