Actually, I think he had a major input into the contents. From all the reports about him, he appears to be a genuine supporter (obviously as well as being the owner) and I for one am extremely grateful for his massive contribution to the club I have supported for over sixty years. I keep pinching myself every day when I think of what we have achieved over the past ten years. This does not mean that I have not enjoyed the journey over many bleak seasons but it’s much better the be near the top of the hill looking down than near the bottom looking up. Incidentally, only yesterday after the match I said to a friend “we only need 27 more points to be safe this season”. Old habits never die!

Absolutely excellent. We are so fortunate.
His English is pretty good too ;)
He's a big fan of coronation Street and watching it has really brought on his language skills.

Lucky he stepped in. And it’s been a pleasure since.

Don't read too much into not having a Lambo, they are notoriously poor in sandy conditions, the sand fucks up all the filtration.
Whoever wrote this is a genius and certainly understands the club.
Great to read if you are a blue not so much for the rest of Europe though.
Bring on the next ten years.
For those moaning about the match day thread the answer is easy avoid it by going to the matches, we do have a few empty seats at the games.

I agree considering he studied it in the States. Many of Abu Dhabi’s key people studied at UK universities or in the States. Sheikh Mansour spent part of his education studying English in Santa Barbara.Absolutely excellent. We are so fortunate.

I have it on good authority that he wrote it all himself but Khaldoon licked the envelope.

Great letter, I loved reading it. We are very privileged to have him as our owner.

Of course it was penned by an aide, but it will ultimately have been signed off by the Sheikh.
What it confirms is , he's here for a very long time and he has a sense of humor

David Conn’s piss will be boiling When he gets round to reading that memo from top man which makes it all the better.
You actually think you wrote the missive himself?
Haha. There’s always a grumpy put down from some people. Just enjoy it.
