They were never linked with them though. They beat us to Hazard, Luiz and Jorginho. The rags were after Nasri, Milner, Dzeko, Gundogan, Stones, Otamendi, Bernardo etc, we took Tevez as well. Liverpool were after Barry, Silva, Navas, we took Sterling from them. It's impossible to say who would have benefited.
Genuine question. Do you post on redcafe under the name Padr81? He's a City fan who clearly despises our owners for some reason
Impossible to say if they were even interested in some of our signings(they mocked the Silva, Yaya and Aguero deals) but isn't a better point that if not City, then it would be someone else spending more to build the best squad? If not Chelsea, then United, if not United then Liverpool or Arsenal, that's the way it's always been since the 60s. What is the point it pretending that football would be any better in any of those scenarios? Since City still have one of the lowest club record signings among the Euro elite clubs it's pretty obvious the transfer market wouldn't be much different either, City are nowhere near the top inflators of the transfer market.
And don't forget the world's largest solar power plant. In fact Abu Dhabi is one of the world's leading countries for renewable energy. But don't let the inconvenient facts get in the way of the "dirty oil money" narrative. Every single penny invested in City and CFG has been driven by Sheikh Mansour moving away from any dependency in his business on fossil fuel revenues. He has successfully achieved this, making a huge profit in the process. At some stage the English press will have to change their fake story about how City are actually funded. The media is just looking increasingly stupid.
