Khaldoon checks bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk!

[markbmcfc]

I think he's partly learned English in the Middle East, but obviously has been educated at length somewhere in the U.S. It certainly has an American ring to it.

I didn't like when he called us 'Manchester'. It feels like what Yank commentators say when they don't know what they are talking about.

"And it's Manchester vs Arse-en-ul here, at Old Traaafford"

I liked he called us Manchester and also he didn't call fergie sir .

 

[markbmcfc]

I liked he just referred to us as 'City'.

I can't get a grip on that accent... what is it?

His accent is Arab/American - very common here.

You can sense the kind of presence and stature he has just from how he conducted himself - it's very clear that he knows his role in the whole process, but was most impressed with the way he spoke and carried himself in general - just oozes dignity and class without any need for bragging or pride.

Would have liked to have seen a few more questions put to him, but nice to see this place mentioned. It seems like the club recognise this forum as the main fan forum anyway :)

He went to Tufts (that's in Boston, a good school), and that must have had an impact. I said pages ago that he speaks English with a mild American tones, it's pretty blatant :-) imo, I'm glad it wasn't just me then. I'd love to find out if he ever went to Fenway whilst he was here.

"City", "critics", "delighted", "Garry", "manage", "Mark", "example", "players", "outstanding" etc.

Great stuff!!

Great interview,what an articulate and passionate gentleman.
I thought Nige De Jong was cool but Khaldoon is the ultimate in coolness.

Watching this interview makes me think its time all the petty squabbling that goes on here should be put aside,lets make our owners proud of our behaviour.

fuck off clown feet

How do you know about my feet!!!

Hmmm must be. I did detect a little bit of the Queens' English in there somewhere too.

Just sounds a lot different to English as spoken by those from the Middle East in Australia...
