That is essentially a propaganda article for Saudi Arabia from Dan Roan who has spent the last decade writing vile and biased articles about our owner. Also bear in mind that Abu Dhabi is one of the most liberal regimes in the entire Middle East, especially compared to Saudi. So why has Roan and his BBC pals been so selective and vicious with his coverage of City?

Because Man City are above his team wins trophies buys the best players and is ran better than any club on the planet!

Bottom line he is a jealous bitter Kunt like 99% of the history club followers!

But Apple would sell 1.1 billion phones over night. That’s how many United fans there are according to United and their media whores.

Apple cannot buy Utd with company money, their investors will have a fit. I own Apple shares and would ditch them if they bought utd, and would never buy Apple again (Sharp anyone, how did that work out). Also every investment would need some sort of board approval which wouldn't work with a football club. They could buy a percentage of shares but out right ownership no chance

The mental gymnastics and hypocrisy really are something to behold

It won’t just be that either. They’ll want to be in on the streaming deals when Sky becomes obsolete.

Maybe, but with only Utd to stream the people who would pay is small. The majority of their worldwide fans are in poor countries that can't afford to pay for any streaming service. If they pay 5bil for Utd thats a lot to recoup from a dwindling fan base. No shareholder in their right minds would sanction that

Which is why they’d probably prefer the exclusive rights to stream the whole PL, not just the rags.

It was one thing boycotting Sharp, AON, Chevrolet etc over the years, but Apple would be problematic in our household, to say the least. Everyone's phones would have to get binned for a start. For this reason alone, it mustn't happen.

Fuck Apple, I'd be willing to boycott air or water if necessary. Still won't buy anything made by Sharp.

Would love to see what businesses think they get from sponsorship deals, especially if they're already known. At best, the fans of the club feels more warmly towards you, but I've not owned a Saab or anything by Brother, but you do manage to piss off millions of other potential customers.

Probably doesn’t fancy getting beheaded. He’d probably still bum them with his last words as his head rolled around on the floor if they bought the rags.
 
Buying the rags will not be a business investment just a vanity purchase The cost and the need for investment doesn’t make sense if looking for returns. Knowing if it doesn’t go well will mean the feral rats will turn on you in no time, might start affecting your life and other business interests. Makes more sense to buy the likes of Everton and “do a City” pay £200m invest £1B but sell 30% to get a fair chunk back and have 70% of an asset worth >£3B
Doubtful that Apple or any tech company will buy it wouldnt make any sense

Always remember what Alan Sugar said - when asked how do you become a millionaire he answered " start as a billionaire and buy a Premier League club "
 
I've been reading the caf since the sale news broke and most of them have resigned themselves to the new buyer being a 'businessman' and actually wanting to make a profit. They seem to be ok with this.
However, what they don't seem to have worked out are there is only 2 ways for the owner to make a profit.

1) Take divedends. This is what they hate about the glazers and the new sale would be for a large amount so would need higher dividends to make it work.

2) increase the value of the club and sell it on. This will be tricky as the glazers will be demanding absolute top dollar. The even newer owner would then have the same problem of needing a profit and would again just have the same two options.
