Some info on the new Man City Owners

[kcmei]

Estimate amount of money - 700.000.000.000 pounds
Profit each day - 350 million pounds

So they can afford a Man City each day and have an additional 100mil to spend on that same day.

Scary I know...

Harlem Globetrotters.

that's not really very much, is it?

 

[Rackybear]

£550 Billion is their wealth. 50 times more then that of Roman Abramovich.

Bid £50 Mill for Torres on deadline only to have it rejected. I look forward to see the team they assemble.

Cesc, Fernando, Kaka, Messi and Cristiano are all january targets, lets see who has the nerve to reject big bux :-D

 

[Chimbo!]

You cant be serious!? Thats astronomical! They could do anything they wanted, they could build City into a Real Madrid with that much money. The only danger for City is if they lose interest in it. Football clubs are just toys to billionaires at the moment.

It's like waiting by the road side for a car crash.

 

[Kendall]

I honestly don't think they'll lose interest either, they are reknowned sports fans, I don't think this is a flash in the pan.

 

[KeaneIsKeane]

Well some other clubs are going to make a lot of money off them.

They are ruining football

On a side note you've gotta feel sorry for Tal ben haim, he's probably crapping himself at city and wishing he'd come to spurs. The arabs have piled in and i cant see them being particularly favourable to him being jewish and all. They'll probably lock him in a cupboard with a dunce hat on till he denounces his religion. After all thery can afford it.

You never know we may even see a new player in the near future ... Tal Ben Ahmed, money can do funny things to people. lol

And now i finally realise ive drunk too much ... oh dear

good night/morning

:lol: True that, KK.

That's a lot of dosh to be sure. I can't see why they'd get bored but equally they won't simply be able to buy everything they want. It'll take a year or so of signing the better players from sides positioned 5th-9th in the Premier League (shit.) and 3rd-6th elsewhere, before any true superstars sign up.

Money's great but none of the top, top players (genuine definition rather than J. Redknapp euphemism) would turn down 120k a week at United, Milan, Real, Barca et al for 250k at City just yet.

Maybe, but you`d still love `em at Spurs.
All of us would.

Would you?

I'd hate it if we just had a bottomless pit of money provided by the chairmen, if we won anything it would almost feel like cheating to me, buying our way to anything.

I like how we're run now, not afraid to spend money, but by doing good business, according to the club we ran at a loss of £5m this summer, which is a negligible amount for a premiership team. When we win things, it's a massive achievement, we deserve it, our victory over Chelsea in the CC was more than just a cup win, it was a victory over the theory that you can just buy success. I'm not saying I don't want us to spend money, but not spend £200m from an investor and de-stabilise us.

:lol: What about SWP. The guy leaves Chelsea in order to get first team football and within days of arriving at City they become the new Chelsea. He's probably thinking 'oh God not again. Bench here I come.'

 

[Bronno]

Crazy amount of money. But its certainly going to make the premiership more exciting then it would have been this year! Will be interesting to see the names that are going to be linked over the next few months, and the sort of money that is going to be suggested. We might have been able to sell Dimi for 50mil in Jan.

P.s Teemu_is_a_yid, whenever you post in a thread, all I can look at is the girl on the far right of your banner for the Oktoberfest. It is putting me right off my lurking.

I want to marry her.

Money talks to a certain extent but some players simply would not go there. Messi, C.Ron, Kaka, Cesc and Torres would not go there but the players out for money such as Robinho will be the ones that would gladly accept. Chelski found out that signing the big names - Crespo, Shevchenko, Mutu, Veron does not mean success, if anything it means more problems. I think Hughes is the right man for them to have in charge as his buys so far (Robinho excluded) have been very good, Kompany especially. I reckon he could put together a decent team there but it's whether he now has much say on who he brings in, as Al Fahim seems to want to assemble a Galacticos. If they brought in a top GK, quality LB, CM and striker in January then they could quite easily finish in the top 4

 

[CosmicHotspur]

I wonder if Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei would care to team up and buy us out! :roll:

Of course, buying players for phenomenal amounts of cash doesn't necessarily make a great team - chucking talented individuals together doesn't always work.

However, I would love us to tempt Torres to the Lane even though I know it won't happen.

 

[steadster]

they should go on "billion pound giveaway" that would be such a good show, i would go and be "hi i want £30m to sign David Villa for spurs"
