First Abu Dhabi Bank looking to buy Standard Chartered

[Jam Tomorrow]

Love this.. :)
To extend the amusement, Mubadala (headed by Khaldoon) own 38% of the First Abu Dhabi Bank and according to the FT were the driving force of the deal when the details came out in January.

Obviously all coincidental - just a c$35billion purchase.

How First Abu Dhabi Bank pursued Standard Chartered and ‘opened Pandora’s box’

UAE’s biggest lender could yet revive the deal and its interest might flush out other suitors

It’s lovely stuff. I assumed without searching that Khaldoon would have some skin in the game, it really doesn’t get much better.

it may be a straw to clutch at, but if the shoe was on the other foot I wouldn’t want John Henry having a direct link into our club.

Btw I’m sure Liverpool will be happy to change their shirt sponsor logo “First Abu Dhabi Bank”.

LOL

Wouldn't it need to be 'Joint First'?

In a week of complete shit, this little story caught my eye. Now just imagine one of our biggest enemies main sponsor and a bank of all things being pulled into the orbit of Abu Dhabi.

now I’m sure there is nothing to hide in Liverpool’s dealings with Standard Chartered and I’m sure they will be happy with the thought of Abu Dhabi having a direct link into their club and access to all their financial records, like Jamie Carragher said, they have nothing to hide. And I am sure Sheikh Mansour wouldn’t be looking for revenge or look to fuck their sponsorship deal, of course not. But if they do have anything to hide, well that could be fun.

Can we buy Old Trafford and burn it down too?

We don't need to - it's gonna fall down!

I think that the rodents at The Swamp are rats! Raggy rats.

I’m so confused on what is going on this week. I hope I’m not the only one. I’m not into conspiracy theories, but..
