bigfatjoe1 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Breaking news on news.sky.com Reports say City sold to Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG) Sounds to me even more dodgy than who they have now Cue the first :censored:y fan to say, 'we don't want them, they're called united.'

Guernica Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 If these Arabs are as rich as SSN are making out ('think Chelsea but ten times bigger') then we could be fooked when it comes to Richards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corporal_Jones Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Except that this is city and the wheels will fall off pretty quickly. This time I very much doubt it. The likes of these Arabs don't mess about. This is bad news for clubs like ours all round-a successful City, playing in top class surroundings, would sweep up many floating fans in surrounding towns and attract a whole new generation of young supporters.

Don't worry. No matter how big (or massive?) City get his agent will still want a nice big commission at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 In excess of £30 Million......Taggart will be minging, ha ha. Can you imagine his face when he was told???!!! Almost worth it ;-) SSN now says Berbatov has left Stansted on a plane to Manchester. The big question is.......which direction is he going to head in? I can see it kicking off at Manchester Airport at this rate :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander_OAFC Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sky sports say City have bid 30 mill!!!! So have United according to the NOTW yesterday. But the thing Tottenham really want is that little whippet Frazier Campbell as part of the deal. That could maybe swing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be hilarious if he signs for City and not Utd :lol: :lol: If Mark Hughes stiffs United it would be class, oh the sweet irony. All those dirty reds at work who keep reminding me of the semi final in 94 will be getting it back big time, although unfortunately in my heart of hearts I think Berbatov will want to sign for United.
