The story is that he's a dreary, boring, self-righteous tit.

I find his monotonous buffoonery entertaining in small doses.

Another Asia related red shirt to notch up and add to the hugely impressive total.

Very good point..

We all remember him saying that, and the utterly disgusting, immoral, bent, reasons why he felt obliged to say it.

Oh how they laughed "we've got them. Those fucking Arabs are playing with the big boys now. We'll put them in their place for trying to mix it with white, European, football royalty. How dare they"

They're not fucking laughing now are they.

But we are. Every single one of us. (Apart from Colin Schindler)

Wonder what shit they'll try and come up with next?

We've got a bit of a free run while the investigations are going on but I'm sure they'll be back.

I think you might be missing quite a bit here mate. The group that have invested in us are a mass media giant in China. It's the equivalent of Rupert Murdoch, Mark Zuckerberg and the BBC investing in us. Think of the 'favourable' coverage The Shite have had on Sky and in the national press over the years. Now times that by 2 billion!

The reason it's different in China to here is because they are a fairly new culture to football. They like it, it's the most watched sport, it's just become compulsory for kids to play it in school, so the popularity is only going to increase rapidly in the next few years. But because it's new, they don't have established roots in supporting a team. The Shite might be popular there, Liverpool might, but it is not 3 or 4 generations deep like it is here. People can change aliegencies, particularly the kids.

Now if we get wall to wall favourable coverage on TV, newspapers, internet and social media, it's inevitable in a country without a free press like we have here, that our fan base is going to grow exponentially. The reason The Shite can get 70m a season from Chevrolet is because the can spin a yarn to sponsors that they have 650m fans worldwide. Brands want to be associated with that, the exposure is huge. If we can say to a potential sponsor that our partner's media reach is in the billions, imagine the premium we can charge for sponsors.

Increased sponsorship and media exposure means we can attract the very best players and managers on the planet. To put it in perspective, if you add up the whole of Europe, South America, and USA, it's still not as many people as live in China! The market is absolutely colossal, and it's only getting bigger.

The guys who have invested have also recently signed deals with Warner Brothers, Dreamworks and Merlin to open theme parks in China. Their contacts and know how for a "Tourist attraction of international significance" for the collar site are absolutely incredible. The possibilities of this partnership are actually frightening. And this isn't some fly by night media organisation, they are state owned! China is going to be the biggest economy in the world in the next 20 years, they're not about to go bump!

Our owners of one of the worlds richest oil states have now got onside with the top politicians on the worlds next superpower. It kind of makes you realise how small time the likes of David Gill are in comparison when he talks about how many United shirts they sell in Shanghai.

Thanks for the explanation mate, now I really can say I'm WOWED!

UEFA and FFP made Mansour look at other ways that City and then CFG could make money and add additional revenue streams.

IMO, if that had never come in, I don't think we would be seeing any of this happening right now. A big two fingers up to the cartel (G14) and those at UEFA who tried to stop us.

They thought they could stop us. Be careful what you wish for.

God bless Sheikh Mansour, Khaldoon & Soriano.

Don't agree, I think this was the plan from the beginning, just look back at some of Garry Cooks quotes, I doubt FFP or UEFA made any difference apart from maybe accelerating things.

I agree.
ADUG have never hidden the fact that they wanted to get into China.
To get into China, you pretty much need a partnership with a group/person big enough to open the doors.
Benefits to City will probably be secondary, like sponsorships from people who want to get in with CMC/CITIC. The benefit to ADUG is incalculable.

It's still sinking in the endless possibilities that could be achieved by this deal. We are talking about how United must be feeling sick with what's going on, what about Barca and Madrid? Miles more marketable than the Rags with the two biggest players on the planet and they could not strike a deal like this.

If we did the unthinkable and went for Messi we have one bargaining tool available as we could market his image into an area where Barca have no influence. Brand Messi should be happy with that as long as he keeps the inland revenue sweet and Zabaleta shows him where the best chippies are.

I said in another thread that its a mistake to cross a rich man. Platini and co have crossed a mega rich man with connections at the very highest level, rich men have their revenge not necessarily obviously or immediately.
