He is the messiah

He’s just a very naughty boy.

I said earlier in the piece it has been coordinated with UAEs highest profile figure, they wanted it reported otherwise they quite simply wouldn’t have allowed pictures.

no idea why but certain it was for maximum exposure.

Maybe it was to Gary Neville to say I deal with bigger cunts than you all the time.

City may have given him the biggest profile bit he is politically a midget man in terms of actual influence

Suspect there were probably more significant reasons for the photo than how it would play out for a football club he owns.

he was just one of loads of second division UAE royals just lining up for a cheap snap. No need for him to be there at all tbf. Very much doubt Assad could have picked him out of a line up10 minutes later

What's happened to the BBC football gossip page, it's not been updated for 4 or 5 days now? OK it was dominated by the red shirts' transfer rumours and other bollox but it was a bit of a ritual to read it during my morning constitutional.

Harris & Rubin, the owners of the Philadelphia Sixers basketball team, the New Jersey Devils hockey team are also 49% stakeholders in Crystal Palace and have said they will sell their share in Palace should they be considered for the Chelsea purchase. They are in it for the sporting results, but are ruthless equity investors.

Cheers, I didn't realise they owned that much.

Seems new every day to me. Salah to Juventus wasn’t there yesterday. Maybe hit refresh?

Silverlake's portfolio generates $227m p.a. so they are worth quite a lot!
They are mega x mega.

Feel free to correct me, but aren’t Silverlake a US based VC company, so is that something we’d really want?

They are worldwide and mega. Straightforwardly in it to make money. In CFG's case, I guess that means capital growth as the group develops. They specialize in tech, so I don't suppose petty football arguments play any part in their thinking. Don't worry about them.

Edit PS. Silverlake are major shareholders in OVG who are the joint owners, with CFG, of the Co-op arena. Wheels within wheels!

I do have concerns with venture capitalists completely owning the blues as in my experience, everything is short term to make as much cash as possible, maximise profit any way possible, before selling to the next vulture capitalists

Rinse & repeat

Only my experience, so could be miles off with my thinking

Might help us no end with the media, Sly BT etc

Possibly, but does that really matter in the grander scheme of things?

I’d suggest that everyone with at least half a brain can see that the media are fast becoming a parody of themselves where City are concerned
