He'll make plenty of money when he gets bored and sells us ;)
That'd be some sales notice.
FOR SALE.
Many previous owners. Full of drama. A Typical City.
The current owner is amazing. Cannot be beaten.
-Great commercial investment
-Tea Lady's tenure not affected
We are already self sufficient and self funding.I do not think our owner has any intention to even consider selling. However, there maybe comes a point in his strategy where we (ie Man City) become self sufficient and new investment money comes from local profit not new investment cash from our owner.
Maybe all profits will be plowed back into strengthening our team continually tweaking FFP limits or maybe ADUG have to now fund their other CFG projects, after all we are part of a Group of Companies closely linked via a Holding Company.
If the former then we really are a massive threat to all rivals because they have owners who want dividends from cash cow profits whereas we will collect the best players each and every opportunity to buy.
I wonder how other clubs would sell to their supporters the unfairness of our owners gift to the Club compared with their owners need for financial return ?
There's absolutely no reason why he would though.I don't mind Mansour taking some profits out of the club at all. He's invested well enough to justify it and it doesn't particularly make sense for him not to. More so, because I don't think he'd take out so much money that it would be to the detriment of the team's performances.

Not now perhaps. In a few years, if our revenues continue to grow at a similar rate then maybe. He'd be able to take out a fair whack whilst still leaving plenty in for City to be competitive. That said, that fair whack probably pales in comparison to his wealth and other ventures.

Yeah I don't think we will spend necessarily all we can spend for spending purposes. But I don't think Pep will have a 'budget' per se. He will simply be allowed to go after the targets he wants.I agree, so will we continue to approach FFP limits each and every transfer window or will ADUG decide otherwise ?
I ask because the amount we have to spend potentially is a recurring post on this thread whereas I am suggesting ADUG may allocate only a proportion for that purpose.
Yeah if the Chinese investment is looked at at face value then he's already made a large capital profit. I just don't think he will be looking to increase his annual income with dividends anytime soon.That is the crux of it for me.
I can't see Sheik Mansour taking anything out in dividends, because of this.
It would be better to re-invest, in either City or the CFG.

Does the new TV money kick in in this financial season (2015/16) or is the next one?

Wasn't there some statement that the money was going straight into the club's accounts ready for our next nefarious dealings? Probably going right back to China by opening a new club.
In any case we can all forget FFP limits if Inter get taken over by this Chinese money as rumoured this week.

If inter do gat taken over by a Chinese consortium, spend 100 of millions over the 4 years they are aloud to under new owner FFPR be interesting how they ever will be self sufficient?! Will they be looked at if say a big Chinese company sponsor them to the sum of 200m will it be looked at like ours was for fair value?
