I think I read his private car collection was valued at over £3bn and he had two super yachts each costing north of half a billion. He can easily personally fund the entire City investment !Fuck me it was only £200m, they didn’t need a sovereign wealth fund for that, just his personal wealth.
How can Ronay comment on what "many neutrals" think seeing as he is totally lacking in neutrality ? He's just a wanker playing to the gallery.I see Ronay's back on his favourite subject. Won't link but here's a flavour...
"To many neutrals such success in the stratified modern game will carry a sense of economic inevitability, a symptom also of something broken in the way the sport arranges itself now"
"there is a perfect fit between the Guardiola style, which is about control first of all, mastering the ball, destroying the variables that might bring defeat and the billionaire-ball model of City’s nation-state owners, which also involves creating a structure of such impenetrable wealth that its aim is to remove the possibility of defeat."
"But is it actually interesting? Or interesting enough? It was notable in the broadcast of the Brentford game that Sky Sports seemed to be making a very conscious effort to develop a City narrative"
And an all-time classic..
"Not to mention, because nobody seems to want to, the issue of those 115 unresolved charges for breaking financial rules"
He's gone even more Delooney.
Sheikh Mansour buying us at the price he did was the equivalent to us going out and buying a newspaper. He made more money on the deal he did with Barclays than the total sum he invested in City.Fuck me it was only £200m, they didn’t need a sovereign wealth fund for that, just his personal wealth.
“Scruffy Jim” please.
in an unbiased manner, which they do not.just a point on this not your wider post. They aren’t supposed to reflect the views of the UK population, they are there to report the news.
I was hoping satisfied because you had indeed slapped him silly but going off your tone I don't think you did, damn.i went to school with him guess how I feel!
You made me get my drums outStand by for action....
A station I never turn on despite being a Cumbrian.Delivering around Cumbria last Friday I put BBC Cumbria on for travel news and the main breakfast presenter Mike was joined by his side kick who informed the listener which Fa cup games would be available to view on terrestrial tv over the weekend. Side kick unashamedly announced that he is a rag living in the Kendal area then started to share his info on games, channels times ect, but clearly nobody told him that we were playing Spurs that very evening as he failed to mention anything about it the rag twat. Mike wound him up asking if he had seen the Pep documentary on BBC to which he sounded well pissed off and declined the offer of watching it on catch up. Amazes me how these fuckwits get away it.
His wife dropped her, nope best keep it clean.You made me get my drums out
