Blimey, all that money invested in the Etihad and surrounding areas is English money! I thought it came from Abu Dhabi. What an idiot. Thanks for putting me straight.
Now that I think, there was a Mansour and a Kaldoon in my class at St Frannys in Gorton. I just hadn't made the connection until now.
The wider point was that Thatcher 'selling off the family silver' didn't negatively affect FDI into the UK.
Well if the money came through CFG it was English money by the time it was invested in MCFC even if it started out otherwise.
