It's all fuckin small change. They can spunk billions into airlines, f1, football and still have billions left. They're only just getting going with City.
Imagine if we still had Swales/Bernstein/Wardle running the gaff?!!!!
I would too mate.Actually I would like to see Bernstein back at our club in some capacity.

Be interesting to revisit this idea in a year's time. I suspect the mood will be VERY different.
He has a Parker and refers to all his family as our kid
Do we actually have any football-experienced directors on the Board?
I believe taking into account all global brands you will find that if he were to capitalise his stake (as in the 13% that was sold to the Chinese as a guide) he would make significant gains. The City footballing group is valued at over £2bn, then add the agreements in place with Manchester City Council plus all the spin offs from other clubs in the group and the amounts become staggering. Plus the group was purchased with a specific aim of putting Abu Dhabi on the global football map. The Sheikh and his advisors are very shrewd, and he would never lose out with any of his investments - wish I had a few shares! Bit like the money he made helping out Barclays. Money makes money.

John Wardle is a proper blue and a very nice manDon't mention John Wardle in the same sentence as Peter Swales.
Mr Wardle was a fan who put a very considerable amount of money into our football club, he made mistakes, we all do, but the man was incredibly generous.
He even had to bail us out under the Thaksin regime.
