Ok then,if it was nothing to do with TS, how did Sheikh come about Buying our club ? Who suggested City to The Sheikh ?
This post suggests (ridiculously) that the current owners (as individuals and as a collective organisation) are so naive, stupid and easily manipulated that they just sit about on their pile of cash waiting for various people to come to them and tell them that they should throw a load of money at this football club, that watchmaker or this newagents.
Are you honestly trying to suggest that the idea of investing in a football club had never crossed their mind until this wanker got on the phone and told them what they should do and that they wouldn't have the first idea as to which clubs might be a suitable investment, with the potential for development?
Is your opinion of them that low? It seems to be.
That they invest based on whatever self interested ideas are presented to them, rather than after conducting painstaking, professional and lengthy investigations, considerations and discussion as to how such investments fit into their long term aims? That investing in football or City was something that they just 'went along with' after never considering it before a corrupt and devious politician told them it was a good idea?
Was Sheik Mansour just sat about on a golden sofa, making a scale model of Buckingham Palace with wads of cash when he picks up the phone and old Thaksin was in it? "Hello, Sheiky, I own a football club and it is a great investment. Never mind that you have never heard of it, never conducted any research of your own into football investment and don't know who Manchester City are - I am telling you they are great so I suggest you look into it."
"Thanks Frank, even though I haven't the first fucking clue about any of this and even though I've never thought about football or what clubs might make a good investment, I'll look into this and, if it sounds half decent, wire over an obscene amount of money and spend billions over the next few years. Just on a whim. You know, something to keep m occupied if I'm bored. Thank fuck you suggested this to me. Otherwise I'd never have thought of it (after all, I've never considered football as an option) and would have had nothing to throw my money away on."
Is that how you imagine the conversation went?
I asked PB a question and he answered, you on the other hand Have shown yourself to be nothing more than a complete dickhead. If you want to carry on being a smart arse pm me.
