andyh1884 Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 What price our souls for a promise of Premier glory?I wonder how many on here would make a Faustian pact to guarantee top-flight success? I'll bet we're well in the minority. It'll make the fun I'm having this season all the more enjoyable while it lasts. The top flight is swiftly becoming a soulless farce of a league, a billionaire's playground where they all try to out-do each other with extravagant signings. 'Look at how rich I am, I can spunk £30million in an afternoon & not even care'. Football clubs are replacing supercars as the new penis-extension. I want no part of it for my club.
James. Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Duhhh! He's foreign! And he wears one of those towel things. Bloody hell he's gonna blow us all up!
Phube Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Cold hard facts: Roman Abramovich: £23,000,000,000 Man City's Team: £600,000,000,000
Tommy G Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 One crook out and it looks like another in.Do the Premier League care? Do they ****. This will bring the Premier League more exposure in foriegn countries and better players to the Premiership so it's even easier to market. Makes me sick these people are allowed it, hope we never get back in the Prem. Wankers. Oh, have to laugh at the Man City fans on SSN. "Top four this season". Clueless fools. Because he is minted you assume he is a crook, so your saying they havn't earned their dough legitimately? Bit judgmental. I think there is also a hint of jealousy, if someone bought this club and we could watch Robinho every week instead of James Wesolowski then that would be brilliant. It's happening more and more, I think in a few years time most Prem clubs will be owened by billionaires, which will level itself out a bit in terms of spending power.

Tommy G Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 ........ and make it a total waste of time for clubs promoted from the Championship even bothering to turn up, won't that be fun?! Yeh I guess you are correct. At least one team usually survives so I guess there is hope!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Makes Ebbsfleet and there online ownership look a bit poo - but i guess if they were to attract a rich buisness man to their club each could get a decent payout.
Corky Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 I want to get a Man City shirt. I'm sure we'll see a lot more of those around the country now.
Finchy Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 SKY SPORTS UPDATE : Man City want to buy C. Ronaldo, Fabregas and Torres next. Someone should tell them Ronaldo and Robinho play in the same position . It doesn't matter anyway, Ronaldo won't go, Fabregas won't go and Torres won't go.
Darkzzz_ Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4086955,00.html Madness. They will take over the world.
purpleronnie Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Anyone else think they still wont make the top 4?
TrickyTrev Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 "Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious," Al-Fahim said in The Guardian. I like the cut of this guys jib. The boys got a bit of cheek.
lavrentis Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 **** me, that man has more money than the Royal Family.
purpleronnie Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Another nail in the coffin. Modern football at its worse.
Daggers Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Have ADUG themselves been involved in torture, detention without trial, etc?I don't know much about the company but from a very brief look around the web I see no mention that they are government-owned... News of a takeover bid backed by the Abu Dhabi royal family was greeted warmly by supporters, who have already jokingly renamed their home ground 'Middle Eastlands.'BBCWho's who in the takeover link
Babylon Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 BBCWho's who in the takeover link When oil goes up $1 they make an extra £250m a day...
Babylon Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 It's like playing champ manager after using the editor to give yourself £100m to spend.
Daggers Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 When oil goes up $1 they make an extra £250m a day... So to defeat Manchester City everyone should walk and turn off their central heating.
Tilley Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 £135 million, For Ronaldo. & they want Fernando Torres & Cesc Fabregas. All this, will not happen.
lookwhaticando Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Their money, along with Roman's must be from a fraudulated source surely. Because he is minted you assume he is a crook, so your saying they havn't earned their dough legitimately? Bit judgmental. Absolute brilliance.
Tevez Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Speaking to arabianbusiness.com, Dr Sulaiman revealed he had set his sights on Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Arsenal maestro Cesc Fabregas and Liverpool striker Fernando Torres. "Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious," said Dr Sulaiman. "Real Madrid were estimating his value at $160m (£90m) but for a player like that, to actually get him, will cost a lot more, I would think $240m (£134m). "But why not? We are going to be the biggest club in the world, bigger than both Real Madrid and Manchester United." These aint pissing about.
act smiley Posted 2 September 2008 Posted 2 September 2008 Anyone else think they still wont make the top 4? They'll come 5th and Hughes will get sacked, probably.
