They sure did! You could see the expression on their little faces was priceless ' city have blindsided every other major club with this deal' ' the most exciting and extraordinary football deal I have seen' ' this will catapult the city brand to the next level'. The response from those eejuts.... Pause, painful look at each other...pause' now over to avram grant to talk about the Chelsea stadium refurb. Priceless.

The impact of this on the club and Manchester in general can not be overstated, there's not a hope that anyone on here can even envisage the possibilities that have opened up. And it's not like they've even finished yet.

Hey I'm arsed about the game mate I'm looking forward to going tonight, but this is big news hot off the press. Attention turning to this is understandable and doesn't mean people are more interested in the business than the football. It's an unfair comparison - try comparing a minor sponsorship deal with a derby game or other big game and see what the big talking point is then. This is big

Fair enough... My first post was probably a bit off the mark... but to be honest, I think the club have cocked up announcing such news on the day of a game!

To me, it just seems to undervalue the actual football, especially when the game seems to be going a bit under the radar for most anyway! The game should always be the most important thing, Always!

Cuntanoid has spoken:

Why doesn't Mansour pay a load of people money to support City forever, fill their stadium and buy all their stuff perpetually? He could stop the existing ones going back to Chelsea or PSG and recruit a load more and it would look far less obvious than this skullduggery.

It's been announced today as it's the 1st December and tomorrow is UAE National Day followed by a few days of holiday celebrations. It's anything but a 'cock up'.

Mate, you are not able to comprehend this. Your mind is extremely small. What on God's Green Earth are you talking about? The game should be more important to who?

Ha ha, shame I wasn't watching. Do you know something though? What that bloke said reminds me a lot of what someone on here said ages ago and it's always stuck with me. That as big as clubs like United, Madrid, Bayern, and Barca are, in terms of the business world their turnovers are pitiful in comparison to the size of their customer/support base. In other words, they're nowhere near close to maximising their financial potential yet City have employed some of the best business minds around and are securing some incredible deals through their contacts and the contacts of our owner. They can cry about mates rates deals, money laundering, and cooking the books as much as they want but the simple fact is that we have far better people working on these kinds of deals at our club than anyone at those clubs mentioned above.

Fantastic deal for CFG.

It's the only way CFG could make serious inroads into China as all Chinese businesses have to be owned or part-owned by Chinese companies. I expect that all of the 'new' money will have to be spent in China and that a Beijing City FC or Shanghai City FC will be along on the near future, complete with Academy.

City already has a partnership with a Chinese Lottery company https://www.mcfc.co.uk/news/club-news/2015/january/dji-holdings-announcement, and don't forget this advert from earlier this year https://jobs.sportcareers.co.uk/Advert/745-Football-Coach-Coach-Educator-(Beijing)-Jobs-Asia.aspx

Potential sponsors will be falling over themselves to get a piece of the expanded exposure, which can only be positive for MCFC.
 
The beauty with such deals is the fact that the top people running our club are delivering on all the off field promises for which they have an element of control. No one should doubt that they have our (as well as obviously their own) best interests at heart in terms of making our football club the biggest and best on the planet. What is exciting (or for some on here the source of moaning and complaints) is that, whilst aiming for the best in terms of footballing achievement, all the uncontrollable elements make the on-field outcomes uncertain. Who knows what Pep and Messi are really thinking!!

So fellow blues, strap yourself in, enjoy the ride, as I'm sure there will be a lot more excitement to come in the next few months!
