Chinese Consortium invests $400m in CFG

[Bovril]

If you think you have seen mass panic at the Caf this Week just imagine the meltdown when we get our first "Partner" from China, they want the West to know about them as much as we want to get into the China Market. The monetary values will be mind boggling, much much more collectively than the 256 Million.

Can't imagine that first sponsorship will be far behind.
I'm guessing the club would like to balance last summers net spending or perhaps they already have and this will be new money for January or the Summer.
Either way I look forward to the Caf and RAWK foaming at the mouth when its announced.
That's if they can be bothered from pulling their collective heads from the their arses and stop rumbling about pitiful corner shop economics re City's shirt sales in Malaysia.
I also hope the size of the deal makes Gill and his UEFA compatriots choke on their cornflakes the crooked bastards.

We already have a partner from China. Some lottery thingy.

Very good. I'd love West Ham to benefit from similar investment. That would really wind them up.

Probably been said or asked already, but outside of the money China investment directly brings in, what does this do to the fair market value of our existing sponsorship deals when you add prime time exposure to a relatively untapped audience of 1BN people?

West Ham are in a seriously good position now. I can't stand their management team of Brady/Sullivan/Gold, but they've played a blinder. They are ripe for big money investment. London should be very, very nervous.

Etihad and Nike are about to pay out to us big time.

Like this statement:
"What next? City Group buy Uefa? Don’t laugh. It is possible ..."

:-)

I think in 20 years we'll have fucked those corrupt cunts off along with FIFA and playing tournaments with like minded football groups.
