Why the financial crisis is a blessing for Manchester City

Posted in Quick Quips on Oct 10, 2008

We just read how the meltdown in the financial markets has deeply affected the Premiership clubs leaving a few almost on the brink of collapse

But you know what - the folks in the blue half of Manchester are grinning from ear to ear

If you want to know why, check out the top name on this list. And we all know where the owners of Manchester City come from – Abu Dhabi

The City fans have every reason to be in love with the Sheikhs

That means that while the rest of football world will be practising financial prudence when the transfer window opens in January, Manchester City will be the only ones with pockets full of money. It will be a market where everyone will be looking to sell and City will be the only buyers around - the only club capable of paying huge transfer fees and adding more players on high salaries.

Guess in the football players’ world, all roads now lead to Manchester – the Blue half that is.

    I wont disagree with that at all. However saying all that i am not quite sure whether the sheikhs can be good managers also. if they follow the same rule like they do with their local companies where they just sit on top to give the vision and the europeans run the show then it might work cos surely it takes a lot more than just money to build a championship material team in the EPL.

    Abu Dhabi Royal Family, have the tradition of owning football clubs and running it successfully ( Al Wahda is one example). Their passion towards football is great. They will be a better owner than Anil Ambani. [:d]
