Khaldoon Al Mubarak - A Class Act

[Anonymous]

As Bobby said months ago, he is being badly advised.

 

[glossop is blue]

Its my understanding after reading all of the articles and watching this clip
<a class="postlink" href="http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11679/7453204/Tevez-happy-to-waive-wages" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www1.skysports.com/football/news ... aive-wages</a>
that Tevez hasn't been paid since he left for Argentina, which he has agreed to, AND he has been fined 6 weeks wages on top of that, which he is disputing.

I don't think it means the fine is to claw back wages already paid.

He hasn't been receiving any wages.

--------------
"They [the papers] are running a story based on a briefing given by Manchester City, that Carlos has lost £9.3milion in lost wages and bonuses which is a lot money," Kia Joorabchian's advisor Paul McCarthy told Sky Sports News.

"When Carlos went back to Argentina in November, he and the club came to agreement that he waived his wages - because he was not at Manchester, Carrington, so he waived his wages.

"And the situation is now that - quite frankly from Carlos' point of view - it is never about the money, it is not an economic situation with Carlos; if it had been he would have sat down with City about extending his contract which was on the table at one stage, but that is obviously not the case now and we wait and see what happens over the transfer window."

Tevez has played this horribly wrong.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak is a genius.

This is spot on mate.

I see Inter have now ruled themselves out of the running. And with AC Milan skint and the player turning down PSG, that pretty much leaves Tevez nowhere to go. Whilst that may be a satisfying state of affairs given his behaviour, personally I'd rather have had him gone and I hope that turning down Inter's initial £21m bid doesn't come back to bite us in the arse. Courts and judges are unpredictable beasts and even were we to win, I wouldn't put it past Joorabchian to stir up a shit storm. Redknapp's in Court this week regarding the receipt of "bonuses" and I only hope that in our desperation to get Tevez to sign on the dotted line originally we didn't make any similarly "inventive" payments, cos the City hating press would love nothing better than for us to be deducted points or given a transfer embargo

I said at the time we should have snapped their hands off

This is the only criticism I could level at the club. We took PSG too seriously as a runner as there was never a cat in hells chance of him going there.The attempt to turn it into a bidding war failed. We would now hold all the aces had we accepted the bid. We still have the twat by the bollox but we have left him a little wriggle room. Still say well done Khaldoon. It´s now a matter of principle and our owners have behaved impeccably with honour and integrity (certainly in comparison with other club´s). They take exception to deceit - and so they should

Don't agree; City accept PSG offer, Tevez fails to agree terms. I think we have played it perfectly to be honest.

I think we have played it perfectly too......but only if there are no skeletons in our closet with regard his initial signing and modes of payment. I recall an article David Conn wrote in the Grauniad last year probing into Joorabchian's list of unsavoury creditors and associates and it didn't make for pretty reading. The man does not appear to be a model of fiscal probity and I only hope that City have kept all our dealings with the slippery little bastard squeaky clean, cos if we haven't Joorabchian would be a knocking bet to leak strategic details to the press, who, along with Platini, would then have a field day at our expense. I didn't like McCarthy's sanguine attitude on SSN this morning at all. I'm a suspicious old cnut at the best of times and I'd be more comfortable if the Tevez camp was foaming with indignant outrage. Still say for peace of mind we should have accepted Inter's offer

Khaldoun is just like Harvey Keitel's character Mr Wolf from Pulp Fiction.
Remember in the summer when he jetted in to cut through the delays and bullshit to close the Aguero deal?
He is the man who can.
Kia the pimp is a mere toenail scraping in comparison

Haha, love the comparison.

I myself was not giving Soulboy some hammer, just ribbing him for being so certain about an opinion. I have done it before, we all have i think.
Then it is the law for fellow blue's/mates to give him a dig in the ribs :D

United lad at work reckons Khaldoon is basically slandering AC and they should sue us xD...i smell a bitter.

That's a really interesting take on things and it certainly makes you wonder.

The only thing I would say is that for someone like Khaldoun to come out and be so assertive, so unequivocal in this respect with everything you have pointed out that could be lurking, then we surely must be clean?

Be interesting to see what the Snake Oil Salesman has to say next as if it goes down the route you suggest, then we could be in the High Courts for slander.

Ball's firmly in their court and I'm not entirely sure they have many options left.

I think its great the way we handled the whole situation, we have made it very clear to all those concerned what our position was and still is.
Tevez has had many a chance to come back into the fold but each time he or on the advise he has been getting chose to reject MCFC offers or conditions.
We as a club now remain as strong as ever and with our owners now coming out in public and stating the latest situation there can be absolutely no misunderstanding on what is required if Tevez wishes to depart.
We are about the only club who could make this sort of stand and for anyone who thinks it better to just sell him to get him off our books you are wrong this situation is going to send out a massive message to the footballing world that City will no longer be bullied by either players or clubs. If we were to let him go at a cut price offer what do we do the next time? Lets hope that Adebayor is watching this and takes a very big note, as he could be the next one to want away just because its suits him.

[Sir peace frog]

this mccartney guy is tevez/kia tabloid mouth dropping shitty bombs on us,when tevez does fuck off his services will not be needed in this country,does he think that city will just forget his part in all the shit stirring and give him exclusive after exclusive,we are the big story at the moment and we will be a bigger story in the future,and this fukwit has burnt all his bridges with us.

as for the statement by khaldoon al mubarak,well fuck me that is telling them who is the boss,it really is a wake up call for the 3 wise men,they must of thought oh fuck we better get our shit sorted,

wtf did they think our owners would do with all this fucking about,if i was khaldoon i would say to tevez that your fee has just gone up to
£50m and you wont be sold for less than that,up his insurance then bump the fucker off.

 

[welsh_andy]

pretty much says it all when fans from all clubs back the way city has handled this, fuckface will be out in the cold, now psg and inter have fucked off, milan wont cough up, hes in wilderness and good riddance. breach of contract, make him pay back the 25mil we paid for him, bankrupt the fucker!!!!
