Chinese Consortium invests $400m in CFG

[SWP's back]

Don't get me wrong, I hate the thick, shallow arrogant cunts and I've got plenty of memories of the empty-headed pricks sneering at us. But I think we play into their hands a bit at times sometimes, that's all.

Anyway, back to the discussion. World domination is inevitable. We are owned by the richest country in the world with assistance from the fast growing economy in the world.

Nice.

We aren't Qatari owned.

When should we expect to see the benefits of this deal materialise. Will it be months / years?.
It is great vision from the sheik. We truly are a very lucky club to have him in charge.

So, having not read the thread, has any of the following been mentioned by Talkshite, Sly Sports or the Mirror/Mail:

1. More investment from a country with dodgy human rights record?
2. You still can't buy history?
3. Sheikh Mansour bored with Man City and sells up ready for heavy investment in Man Utd, which was his stated long term goal, opening up the floodgates for Guardiola in the summer and Messi, Ronaldo and Bale to join in January?
4. Shameful Man City sell out to highest bidder bringing into question any integrity/honour/pride left in a club happy to sell it's soul?

Etc, etc, etc.........

One good thing from this deal is that the new investors also have the rights to the PL in China. Guess who's gonna be getting a lot more coverage and promotion in the coming years. But this is also obviously a precursor to an investment in or formation of a Chinese team.

Well that Alex Timperley is a bundle of fun.

Always need a doomsday prepper knocking around the joint so we can rob him if the zombies show up.

I'm sure the Sheikh will follow the Rag's lead, and take most of the money out for himself to pay off some dodgy loans........

The Mirror has actually done a fantastic article on us and how we are so far ahead of Scum in many ways

So Sheikh Mansour started with 90% 2008 and no one got their knickers in a twist but now that he "only" controls 87% some people are worried..?
What problems we got..lol

Am I right in thinking that 'Call me Dave' can take a lot of credit for this? Fair play to the Conservative lad, he's played a blinder for us......
