I don't think this is a question which anyone has answered satisfactorily over the last two seasons.
Exactly why is the Skeikh investing all this cash into the loveable but errant Manchester City FC?
Does he envisage a financial return one day from the club? I just can't see it myself unless there are radical changes. Does he believe we can one day sell our own TV/internet rights?
Is it about the EAst Manchester area, and the development of a leisure site there?
Is it about the name of Abu Dhabhi, and the development of the region as a world power?
Is it about ego, essentially a plaything?
Did he underestimate the task? Did he think he could invest £200m and in return get the champions league trophy, worldwide fame and a profitable club?
Or is there more to it than meets the eye? Comments, anyone?
