Sheik Khaled's representatives claim he is close to buying Newcastle https://mol.im/a/7073375 via http://dailym.ai/androidKind of wish that some rich guy from UAE or Qatar or Saudi would buy another English club and pump some money into it just to see the reaction of these journos...

And also the reaction of all those hypocritical fans that give it large
It's pretty obtuse to ignore the fact that Sheikh Mansour has doubled the value of his investment in City and made another £1bn from bailing out Barclays Bank. It is pretty obtuse not to realise that our club is now totally sustainable because of its fantastic business model that has brought economic success to one of the most impoverished areas of Manchester. Draper is just another one who objects to our owners because of their heritage.
Its was 2.5 billion he made of Barclays.

I always thought the Barclays investment was made by the UAE sovereign wealth fund, not Sheikh Mansour personally.
Since we criticise the media for saying our club is funded by a nation state when it isn’t, we probably shouldn’t make the same mistake.

Just posting what I read at the time.

Only pointing out what I read at the time.
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan - the owner of Manchester City football club, who pumped £3.5 billion into Barclays as part of a wider capital-raising by the bank to shore up its balance sheet in 2008 - sold his 7 per cent stake last month.
Wanker on Sky (Sun vs Charlton) just said City used to warm up in the local park before games in Div 3 because the fans would boo them. Bullshit. That whole mini bus thing was a superstition. City fans were brilliant that year. Fucking Sky.
think you need to watch the documentary on sky mate re the 99 season dickov and weaver confirm they did this, it was a local school gym not a park, it was willie donachie's idea to do this.
i don't remember booing the players during any warm up though. think it was more to clear players minds in a neutral enviroment

I’m not disputing we warmed up elsewhere - we did - we all cheered them off in the white mini bus - it was the motivation for doing som- it was superstition and defiantly not the fans booing the players as that prick tried to make out yesterday.

I thought they idea was floated by some sports psychologist at the time with a theory that seeing the ground full for the first time rather than filling up when down the warm up raised performance levels. Royle implanted the idea and it kinda worked with back to back promotions.
