Sheikh Mansour & Khaldoon Al Mubarak: Some information

[the--dud]

In pictures the sheikh always does those "come to bed" eyes! He's always smirking like "Well hello"

I spent ages trying to find a decent picture of him where he doesn't look like that but I had to give up eventually haha

This is very interesting and it's brilliant.

BUT, here's the thing for me.

I know he's a busy guy, but if it were me, and I was His Highness Sheikh Mansour, I'd want to be at the games, meeting the great and the good in the world of football and entertainment in the boardroom suite/directors box, going to the away games on the team bus and staying in the hotels and generally having the craic.

To sink millions into our club without doing any of that must mean that he's itching to get over, and/or he's happy to view from afar, in which case I take off my shemagh!

I know it sounds outlandish to us folk but I'm sure the Sheikh's got a heck of a lot more important things to be doing than going to our football games

He would have come over sooner,but i believe he said"i might be rich,but i'm not paying 7 quid for a fucking burger!"

I think its fair to say if the Sheikh attends one game it'll be enough. We shouldn't demand his presence as he owes us nothing. On the other hand, I wonder if they realise deep down the true value of their involvement. For many people, football is life, and in adugs eyes, while it might be a business, I eonder if the human aspect has crossed their minds. Indirectly they have improved the mood of thousands. I hope we see him at least once so we can show thanks. I'm 25, and have moods related to our actions and always have done, now I'm optimistic, for the first time, and would love to show him the human side of his investment.

Good find. I couldn't find an entry anywhere that said where he went to school. Tufts is a good school, and probably much wealthier now for the experience.
