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.

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.

You think they’d have got a better vehicle that a really knackered old transit mini bus - how times have changed.

Maybe that was the motivational thing, pray the van doesn’t break down or you lot are pushing it back up Platt Lane before the game.
I'm pretty certain that the media will report that Sheikh Khaled's interest and purported takeover of Newcastle will be used to show the effectiveness of sportswashing. The shady and surreptitious concept of sanitising a regime's human rights record in the friendly environment of the UK's media.
Asire from that, there would be a definite conflict of interest with Newcastle & City, so I'm unsure how they would resolve it.

An Abu Dhabi sheikh who helped Barclays avoid a government bailout at the height of the financial crisis has sold his stake in the bank, it has emerged.

I’m not having a pop mate, I know that’s how it was reported. But as I understand it, the reporting was wrong

We’ve done it bang on, for me.It is about time to stop being so nice, so politically correct, and so holistic. Clearly, this philosophy is not working, and has never worked. In fact it is making trash media reporters more and more bullish towards our Club, our players, our manager, our fans, and the owners. The Club needs to quickly change and adopt a counterattack strategy that shuts those disrespectful bastards off. Banning the culprits or better dragging one to court should set an example that makes others think carefully before they spit their poisonous shit at our Club. There must be someone sensible in this organization who knows what to do. Same is applicable to UEFA too. We need to come very hard at them. I love you Khaldoon, but enough holism please.
There’s been no point getting involved with weekly or daily bitch-fests with gutter inhabitants like journalists for the last ten years. It would have taken far too much time and effort for absolutely no benefit.
What we’ve done is rope-a-dope the lot of them!
We’ve bided our time and seen who’s with us and who’s against us, we’ve dangled the carrot, made everyone think we’re a soft touch, here-today-gone-tomorrow, let them say what they want and pretended to we’ll over and let them tickle our belly while they said it.
Now’s the time it all changes. We now know exactly which side every **** is on. Now the ones who are with us, the few, they’re fine. Everyone else; we’ve got your fucking number...be afraid!
What they’ve all failed to grasp is that no matter what any of them has said in the media, it’s not affected us becoming what we’ve become at all. When the authorities and clubs are against you then that’s different and we need to stand up for ourselves there. But now’s the time they’re all going to get it.
Fuck ’em! I hope they’re hating every moment of our successes, while we bask in the glory of it all!

My dad used to park up on the other side of the curry mike and we would walk through that estate where the old Quik Save used to be. Saw some right burnt out cars in there.

In response to Khaldoon's interview Nick Harris has managed to tweet "After watching Khaldoon Al-Mubarak's end of season interview: he would have been ace in the Sopranos". The other members of the cabal (Ronay, Delaney, McKenna and the other Harris) are untypically quiet this morning.
that's where we used to park as well, had the car nicked once, happy days :-(My dad used to park up on the other side of the curry mike and we would walk through that estate where the old Quik Save used to be. Saw some right burnt out cars in there.

Harris also tweeted a table showing that we have the most expensive squad, with a comment that if Khaldoon wants facts, here they are. Ignoring the only pertinent fact, which is that it's clubs who pursue the most expensive deals that inflate the market, not clubs who do more deals at lower prices.
