You just answered your own question...personal wealth...family wealth

Sounds exciting stuff for East Manchester ... I just hope it happpens, we've had promises before that got nowhere

Quick question and slight OT but as the Forbes rich list has been announced, why is there no mention in it of the Al Nahyan family?

Surely Sheik Mansour must feature, but there are only 4 people from UAE. Checked last years and he is listed at 104th with $4.9b I though the family were worth $540b

I remember reading that the Sheiks overall worth was around £34billion about a year ago, but considering the Al-Nahyan apparently all make decisions as a family, it's the family fortune which is important and that stands at £560billion or as I like to say it, $1trillion :-)

All of a sudden, the Rags I have contacted today aren't interested in anything we're doing, despite going over board with their emphatic Carling Cup campaign.

Now it would seem they are more interested in rescuing the liberty of their club.

A few hotels, casinos, more seats in the stadium. Don't want to piss on anyone £50 chips but this doesn't really excite me.

I'm all about on the pitch.

No i didn't.

Last year he was on, this year he isn't.

Other people listed show as family, but not this family. Was just wondering why that is.

His half brother is the president and ruler, he is not on, surely he has more wealth than someone in 800th position with $1.2b??

How many rich people would be involved by this great business from ADUG? I don't know because I'm Italian but the most important thing is our squad will go on to become the best football team in all the world!

[failsworthblue]

Inevitable.

Our owner decrees and it is done.

We are going to be the biggest club in the world.

Enjoy!

Fucking hell mate, you should work for SSN!

Their coverage on how RSC cost us 5.8m per goal lasted longer than the coverage of this massive story.

Its happening mate, no doubt about it and it means the good Sheikh is not going anywhere for many a year. Certainly not until he's made us one of the most successful clubs in world football.

ENJOY!

[Manx Blue]

Is anyone else pissing there pants in excitement?

are you doing a sex wee?

[blootoof]

Nothing suprises me anymore, but those fucks on SSN have managed to piss me right off once again.

Their "coverage" of this massive story is simply that we have "met with the council to redevelop the area around the stadium, but talks are at a very early stage".

They then launch straight into how RSC has scored 3 goals in 5 starts, which means he has cost us £5.8m per goal.

It is absolutely REMARKABLE bias. This should be a HUGE story, but it is far too positive for their spin, so I guess their whole philosophy is:

"IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NASTY TO SAY, DON'T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL".

Well fuck them and fuck those broke ass scum bags from salford - they'll all bow down very very soon and I'm gonna piss myself laughing when they do.

My thought exactly Dub. No mention of RSC being injured for most of the campaign at ll. Just that we haven't used him much. You could say 3 goals in 5 starts is pretty handy but then they wouldn't would they? Interferes with their Shrek-worship.

They said 'agreed to explore the possibilities' when we all know they have been doing that for 18 months. As you say, totally biased editorial staff, but we'll soon be accused of paranoia!

Its not paranoia at all though is it? Its clear as day it pains them to report anything positive because it simply doesn't tie in with their "City are ruining football" running story.... its just plain sad and pathetic really.

A billion pounds worth of investment for our City and it wasn't even mentioned on the regional news after news at ten.

Absolute bitter shit cunts.

[CitizenYank]

I'm happy for the team, the town and the fans.... but how about some silverware first??
