He's a fookin bandwagoner. Never used to see him before the takeover.

He's not just a billionaire with a private jet ... he is royal family too ... and he is a cabinet member, a senior minister ... so him coming into the country would trigger all sorts of diplomatic govt level protocols (and not to forget his royal status, given we too have royal family here in this country) ... so I guess to avoid causing all that drama he simply chooses to watch us from afar.
His son has attended a few games, look out for a boy in VIP seats whenever Khaldoon is in attendance and a very peculiar guy with lots of facial hair (a greying beard and a big moustache), he's either family or a personal body guard as he's always by kid's side.
And as per Khaldoon's interview a few years back, the sheikh never misses a single minute of any City game, even those not broadcast on commercial channels, he manages to get a satellite feed covered for them just for his 'majlis' which is kind of Arabian tradition, big screen projector out on the lawn or in a marquee, sitting on carpets on the floor with big pillows and cushions.

What the fuck do I know.
This is at odds to what United fans tell me.. I thought we were his playing thing, City were just his own version of football manager..
He's just our sugar daddy and when he gets bored he'll just drop us like a spoilt child drops his old toy.
It's almost as though Sheikh Mansour and ADUG have bought and invested their time and money wisely with some kind of long term strategy.
I'm confused, do I believe the United fans or do I put my faith in Sheikh Mansour?

Can you imagine planning the security for the visits? There must be so much work put into it.

I bet they must spend many hours debating which part of the centre circle to place the Sheikh and his family when surrounded by 55,000 people.

He could buy the Popemobile or have one made with the club livery on.
Drive him into the stadium all hush hush, a few donuts near the centre circle at halftime should suffice.

When my brother was murdered in Syria ( Alan Henning the Salford taxi driver ) we were guests of the club for the cup game Newcastle (we lost) I spoke to Sheikh Mansours personal attendant, when he is in Manchester, she said he had been to at least 3 games so we don't always get told when he is here.
I didn't know your brother but he had a heart of gold, even under such tragic circumstances you must be proud of him.

Sheikh mansour's son was at the West Ham game when we won the league 13-14 season. Remember before the match he appeared on the screen in a suit haha and the announcer said who he was.

Very sad, a good man. I know a little bit about Islamic history and it's nothing to do with these criminals

Knew there was a pic somewhere..
Sorry for your loss blue. As said though how proud you must be
Members of the family were at a couple of games last season, they take over quite a large section of the stadium with private routes in and out that are sealed so no one can even get close... on a side note his personal chef has his own box which was used 3 times last season ;)
