Sith Happens Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 What a day for bad news, our potential buyer might not be as rich as we thought, and Sean Connery sadly passing away. Still, I am Sheikhen not stirred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying if so..... Different guy, that guy was Saudi. This guy failed his Newcastle bid because apparently Mike Ashley bumped up the sale price at the last second.

Bit like PSG and Man City's owners, yes there's a name but that name is backed by a crazy amount of family and state money. I'm not sure if I'm reading DCFC Fans in 2020 or LTLF in 2013 with this comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 There seem to be two similar sounding but completely different people. His Highness Sheikh Khalid bin Muhammed bin Zayed al Nahyan. Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed al Nahyan. The first sounds like the one with the serious dosh as he's got an extra title and his own Wiki entry. The second is the Chairman of the UAE rowing club, which is very important for us in Hampshire , being nautical coves.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go on to https://dhow.com/ there is a long list of people in the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. The guy who's trying to buy the club is in there and he is also a businessman who set up the Bin Zayed Group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it depends on how much is being sold, but I think Mel wants some money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
