We’ve got some serious competition across town.

We were given a presentation at the last City Matters meeting about some of the technology firms City have invited to come up with ways of using technology to improve fan interactions, either via attendance at games or other forms of inclusion. I wonder if this investment could somehow be part of this, using City as an incubator and launchpad for innovative technology offerings that could change the face of fans' involvement with sport, either in a live or virtual environment.

I'll be volunteer to massage Leroy's knee remotely.

Hahaha that is going to cause outrage.

Is it true that until recently Miguel Delaney thought Abu Dhabi was a former Arsenal midfielder?

Does the City Financial Group publish accounts at group level?

I wondered what the Groups overall revenue was and therefore I thought we could value Man City on MCFC's portion of the overall group revenue.

From what I understand the other clubs in the group are loss-making?

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Have the old elite, football organisations and legions of scouse, woolwich, Salford morons and shithouse media in this country realised who they're dealing with yet?

 

[SWP's back]

Hilarious - so this Miguel Delaney honestly believes that a huge technology investment firm such as Silver lake would commit investment funds into something that was laundering money !!!!!!!!!!

What a total and utter numpty

Whilst he is a muppet and numpty, he’s not saying it money laundering but rather it’s reputation laundering.

 

[Marvin]

Hahaha that is going to cause outrage.

No it wont. The simple excuse will be that our valuation is a City Group valauation across 7 clubs which was why I was wondering what the overall group revenue was as a means of attaching a valuation to Manchester City rather than just the City football group.

Just been to Dubai, across from Abu Dhabi.

The place reeks of money.

I feel so sorry for the Rags, Scousers, Gooners, etc, who were all convinced Sheikh Mansour would get bored.

Bit by bit reality is dawning. If it already hasn’t?
