His personal wealth isn’t out there, but he is the president of the UAE, head of a €875bn investment fund and brother in law to Sheikh Mansour.

jimbo jones Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Very interesting. I don’t like to get ahead of myself. So will wait and see what actually happens. But this could be a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I can understand the attraction of this if it’s legit in terms of his wealth and not getting the begging bowl out from his family like that circus down the road under Fawaz. I’d imagine Cocu would be out the door pretty sheepish unless Mel could convince them of a long term plan. Expect Rooney In charge or Rooney assisting a big name appointment!

Absolutely no chance they'll put Rooney in charge, if they make a managerial change. They'll put someone in who will the most likely to get us promoted. Not someone unproven. All they'll care about is getting us in the Premier League as quickly as possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Couple of thoughts...are these people behind the Cocu/Rooney stories in the Sun and Mail? If so they can do one Secondly will this mean any relationship with Man City with us getting loan players from them but them having first dibs on any good young players we produce.

Gerry Daly Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I think we should forget talk of being like Man City. That just makes us look like sad Treetards when Fawaz was buying the club. But I would be very, very happy if we can follow in the footsteps of Leicester and Wolves. Now that is more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite a few fans already have this opinion since we moved from the BBG??? You can't be successful without a certain amount of capitalist behaviour. Even Leicester's fairy tale was heavily funded, and involved stiffing a load of local trades when they went into administration... Yes I'd rather not be taken over as part of a country's sportswashing but I wouldn't for a second prefer to be resurrecting the A38 Derby in League 1 just on principal either...
