what will city do when the arabs call in the "debt"?

[john_waynes_dead]

Financially speaking, City are a drop in the ocean for our owners so things would have to get mighty bad for them to pull out due to money constraints (something like oil running out could do it).

Additionally, they are not loaning any money to the club so there is nothing for them to call in. If they did get bored (which I suppose is possible) they would look to sell to someone else with similar financial clout.

So, all in all, the future is bright, the future is Blue ;-)

sensible reply.

does the actual owner come over for many games?

I have a question for you. When will your debt be looked at seriously ? ! I dont understand how you and other top 4 clubs get away with it. :S. How long do you guys have left?

City are an investment, they buy us players, in return the clubs grows and becomes successfull, and so the revenues streams expand rapidly. It's not like buying an already established top 4 club where there isn't much room for expansion.

And besides, they probably make more money in interest every month than they'll spend on players for the rest of the time they own us.

I don't think we're in debt to them at all, the only problem i can foresee is if they bail out suddenly, leaving us with a massive wage-bill, far exceeding our income.

I can see where you're coming from , but i doubt if these particular owners will , in effect' , ask for their money back ..... i just can't see it happening even if they quit the club.

We are talkin' about people far richer than Abramovich here , who make money by the second , and i get the feeling that both they and City have gone into this with their eyes wide open , and there appears to be so much more more that the arabs want to do than merely buy the local football club , they appear to have a huge overally 'project' in the pipeline , and seem intent on carrying things through , no matter what the cost.

You might turn out to be right , who knows what will happen .... but my guess is City will be okay providin' they can bring a 'smile' to the Sheikhs face by provin' over time to be a successful club ...... that's probably all the 'reward' he'll ask for , at least i hope it is!

He has never been to CoMs and i think that speaks volumes tbh. A man is willing to put nearly 100 million in and he hasnt been to a game. No city fan really cares if he is there really :) but him and his team want success.

what happened to my post

 

[john_waynes_dead]

serious question, bluemooners, just as abramovic did at chelsea, when he turned around last year and announced the £500m he'd spent was actually a loan.(cheeky fucker, but hey its his money)

they (chelsea) thought it was money that was "theirs" because the owner was spending the money, but these billionaires arent stupid are they...

there is no way that the arabs will spend £500m on players, just for fun...they'll want it back eventually, somehow, and with city's revenue at £80m now and little profit, how long will it take to get back what they spend???

this is a serious question.

yeah i'm a "rag" and our financial situation will blow up sooner or later...the gimps cant service the debt now, and when fergie leaves i fear it'll be bad times at united (laugh all you like).

is there that much money to actually be made in football for a club like city? the scousers revenue is still £110m below uniteds, and they've had champions league money etc.

so what does the future hold for you lads?

how about when the banks call in your debt


bollock brains

can you read?

Just what I was thinking -

 

[Dobsy87]

The future holds ten years of progress ending in world domination, winning all trophies available along the way and the greatest players in the world playing for us week in week out for the next twenty years. After that they might leave and the club might disappear, yes. The thing is we're twenty years behind United in our timeline.

Rather than ask what the future holds for us, I think you should ask what tomorrow holds for you. At least you'll have good memories. We've bloody earned this!
