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

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.

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!

Vulture capitalists
Oops, venture capitalists
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
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
Look at their portfolio. Deffo long term. They own a chunk of OVG who are the joint owners of CO-OP arena. CFG go stratospheric.

As my dad used to say, ' never trust a man who can plait his own arms, he'll be a wrong un'. Turns out he was bob on.
We should be more worried about the Ricketts family who own Chicago Cubs. The father is a racist, anti Muslim twat.
Father of Chelsea bidders apologised for racist comments in leaked emails
The owners of Chicago Cubs - not including Joe Ricketts - have launched a bid to buy Chelsea FC by forming a consortium with billionaire hedge fund tycoon Ken Griffin

Why not? Chelsea have plenty of VC companies beating a path to their door right now.
SilverLake get a lot of funds from Abu Dhabi, so can't imagine things would change much...
Yeah, I get all of that & none of it matters anyway as it all stemmed from a hypothetical situation of SM selling his shares to Silverlake. Just my personal experience is that that venture capitalists always want their pound of flesh
Anyhow, back on topic. I’ve been reliably informed that Nick Harris’ middle names are ‘talks out of his’
Only going off my experience of VC’s mate, which is shortism plans to make a business ‘look’ as profitable as possible before selling on to the next VC
However, I’ve got Covid brain fog at the moment, so didn’t really join all the SIlverlake dots, Co-op live, AD investment etc etc, so maybe it would be fine
In a world where MBS of Saudi Arabia has become the most visited heir apparent, I don't see why a little photo op with Assad will be a problem. Even the Germans have come to like Qatar. The Middle East has got the West by the proverbial balls.
Oh, plenty of dot joining needed now. I expect CFG will develop a global IT structure with......a Silverlake company.
Do you agree with the application of the fit and proper rule such that Americans who have expressed anti-Muslim views should be prohibited from buying Chelsea? (This is a debate over one of the bidders).
I don't. Thin edge of the wedge. It's like banning free speech for racists or views the mainstream finds offensive. Soon it will be you next if you are not mainstream. The mainstream moves.
It was one thing frowning on views you don't like. We all shout at the TV. It is another to marginalise groups. This is creeping fascism under a liberal guise. That's how it's done.
You can see the consequences of this political correctness right now. Imposing restrictions based on your nationality and beliefs. That is the authoritarian rule that Britain condemns China for.
