The embarrassment of looking at a half empty stadium when we play in Europe has finally got to him and before you cry WUM or Rag I'll be there tomorrow as I am for every home game regardless of who we play. Where are you watching the game tomorrow and have you got your CSKA tickets yet?

Let's just say madrid sell isco and ronaldo to the rags and bale to Chelsea,would that not be helping our rivals?
Just seems a bizarre deal to me,maybe someone can explain it better.
Well the Press release I saw said that it was a financing deal, not an investment. Didn't look too closely, but wouldn't that just mean IPIC have seen an opportunity to make some money out of a large loan to Real Madrid?
I genuinely don't understand it mate.Bloomberg reckons IPIC is a $68 billion company,they don't need to make money out of anyone.

Tell any business leader they've made enough money and need not do any more, and they'll call security to have you removed.
Every business - no matter how big - constantly needs to keep moving forward.

Just saw this reply. Actually IPIC are a fund for renewable energy research. Their aim is to supply sustainable funding for research and development and in order to do that they need to put that 68bn to work and keep it growing, at least as much as it is being used. So, a nice safe loan to Real Madrid, why not? It's a fairly safe loan that'll make them a bit of cash over a medium term period and replenish the fund. Not many post office savings accounts with a 3% apr rate that you can deposit that kind of cash in after all :)

As in who? Players who are rejects or players who from the youth system?
Why not do the same partnership with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, etc?
It has fuck all to do with City.

There you go, money moving things forward.
My question is, is any of this to do with Real Madrid needing to reduce their 590 million Euro debt. Not that I am criticising though, City had theirs cleared rather easily.
