The "When the arabs get bored....." insult ?

Its pure wishfull thinking and desperation from the rags to say our owners will get bored. I get it all the time from them, my reply is that im enjoying it while it lasts. Got sick of trying to explain to them that its most likely he will pass us on to future generations of his family. The publicity that region has got from us and in return , well need i say it, is perfect.Yoonited like many fans of other teams are green with envy. Enjoy it Blues.
 
I just play the Aguero goal on my phone, iPad, laptop, computer whatever. Shuts them up then i walk away.

The banking crisis of 2008 has paid for this little hobby....

What rags and other haters forget is that we have already experienced many years in the championship and a year in the Old Div 2. We still got 30,000 week in week out.

Even if he does fck off and we go back to Makin giving us handouts, we will still be there and more importantly have some fantastic memories that we will take to our graves.....
 
Very much clutching at straws the rags..

Can anyone on here even recall when a prominent Gulf person sold a glamour asset to anyone?
It´s simply not done, it would mean loss of face and sniggering behind their backs.

This "When the Arabs get bored" insult stems from a belief that these "Arabs" aren't serious people, it makes me smile.

Sheikh Mansour is the very definition of serious.

Not necessarily.

All businessmen want to make money - of course, that's why they went into business - but they have to outlay fortunes in advertising too. I believe that Manchester City FC is Sheikh Mansours biggest advertising outlay.

Everytime we are mentioned his name will come up either in people's thoughts or in conversation. Thoughts and conversations lead to further thoughts and conversations. All of a sudden his name and what he's connected to becomes ingrained in society. You only have to go onto Google and type in "Sheikh" and press the space bar and the first suggestion is "sheikh mansour". Sheikh Mansour is far from being the richest or most powerful of the Sheikhs or Sultans or Princes of wherever they all may be from, but straight away you see he is the most popular. Would this have been the case five years ago? I bet his name wouldn't have popped up as a suggestion five years ago.

He's spent around £500-750million on City. It wont be long until he's spent over a billion and more. To us that seems a lot of money. But in top business and Sheikh terms it's small outlay. They deal with these figures on a monthly basis across various business ventures without blinking an eyelid. And my bet is he's made back much more than he's spent on us just through the advertisement of his name through us...His name is fresh in the minds of the World, people want a flight and BOOM Etihad Airways, people want a holiday and BOOM Abu Dhabi, people want to go to an F1 GP and BOOM Yas Marina Circuit, a business wants investment and BOOM Aabar.

Football is not something anyone ever makes a lot of money out of. The customers are almost always working class people with very little disposable income. Where £40 for a shirt and £45 for a ticket is a lot of money for the fan it brings in very little to the club. A whole season's SeasonCard sales barely stretches three players wages. With City on the up we will one day be a club that sells a top amount of shirts and tickets but even then it wont really make Sheikh Mansour a lot of money, not on his terms of what "a lot of money" is.

But what he will gain from the advertisement of his name through will be all worth it for him.

And as I've said previously; "we will never run out of oil"!

Exactly, they thought they were smart getting the Yanks on board and we were dumb to do business with Arab, why? well because according Rag logic Arabs are well I don't know what they think because I doubt they have enough brain cells to think but look whose having the last laugh now.

And the Arab Spring idea stems from ignorance, its like saying because Spain is nearly bankrupt so must Germany cos there both in Europe stooopid!

UAE is like a role model Arab state, less dictatorial, more forward thinking, planning ahead and modern.
