Look...theres a difference between earning you luck and being just purely lucky. You ask me if I was a hypocrite? I said no...cus I wouldnt have been pissed had it been Villa Pompey Everton or Spurs instead of Manc City. When Roman thought of buying an English club his main targets were Arsenal NewCastle United and Manchester United. TOP 3 teams in the league that season. The next top team was Chelsea. We came 4th(earned ourselves a Champions League berth). Things dint work out with the top 3 and the next best option was Chelsea as our club was on the verge of bankruptcy..it was for sale(unlike the top 3) inspite of being in top 4. Now thats what I CALL EARN YOUR LUCK. He dint just do an eenie meenie minie mo and handpicked us like Manc City have been by the Arab. and hence I say Manc City are purely lucky. Note: Anyother team in 4th position that season which was for sale would have earned Roman's money. As for the Man Utd fans calling us lucky...yes we were lucky to have attracted Roman to us. But Man Utd were lucky too when they had the MD of Manchester Breweries invest thousands of pounds in the club in early 1900s to rid them off bankruptcy just like Roman did to us..

YEs..What happened to Paim? btw..Does anyone knwo if he played for the reserves the other day?

He had no choice to be fair to him. He messed up his stature at Real Madrid by going public about his differences with the board. He was booed by fans. He knew that he has to get out of that club at any cost now that he has messed up his relations with the club. And he was expecting to join Chelsea by doing so. But Madrid thought.."hmm lets teach this gangsta boi a lesson in life.." so they shunned Chelsea off and Gave Robinho 2 options. Join Manc City or Rot in Madrid for a year, take the boos, face the wrath of suporters and get isolated by your team mates. Which one would you prefer?.....Had I been in his place, I would have taken any offer that came my way.

So you mean this 1 Trillion $ wealth is the summation of personals wealths of these 19 brothers, Sheik Mansoor and The Royal Family? I read that this wealth is the UAE's sovergn fund. Its a Non Profit Organization which funds the infrastructure of UAE. ADUG is just a group formed just to buy Manc City. It never existed before. This guy Suleman Al Fahim as you said is just a face of that group and ADUG is not his personal family owned group. He owns some company call Hydron. thats it.

Did inexperience of managing a European club show up here? I think it did. Always have a back up player. And as for players being cup tied, thats true. But I hope we bring in a player who gets to play the Champions league, not much bothered about the domestic cup.s

You dont get it do you? in simple words, we earned it. As we were much better than Manc City have been when we were bought. Manc City have'nt earned it. They are simply lucky. Not all teams win Titles. But inorder to attract big investors, you gotta show some potential which we did by winning Cups and booking a UCL place without any money. I wouldnt have been pissed had it been ASTON VILLA, POMPEY or even SPURS and EVERTON for that matter!!!...simply because they deserve some financial backing as they have pushed teams like Arsenal and Pool to the wire in the LEague and have won cups. Its teams like these that deserve financial backing, NOT MANC CITY. HENCE I AM NOT A HYPOCRITE!!!!.. Look at how Robinho is getting slacked by people for joining a club like Manc City. Madrid to Manc City. No one slacked Crespo and Makalele when they joined Chelsea from Madrid and Inter Milan respectively...Why? Cus we werent Shit like Manc City are atm. We were quite a good team with potential to be world beater with some financial backing. Every team has a history, Chelsea had it, Manc City had it ,Villa And Everton had it. But Manc City have been just lucky acording to me for getting an investor when they arent even winning or challenging for cups. THE REASON I AM TRYING TO CLARIFY THIS AGAIN AND AGAIN IS BCAUSE I AM SICK OF HEARING THIS MANC CITY IS LIKE Chelsea....WE WERE FUCKING MUCH BETTER AND MORE COMPETITIVE (when roman bought us)THAN MANC CITY(when they got bought). The only thing common is we both got ought by big investors. End Of.

To an extent..but in our case Ranieri dint succeed. Jose succeeded ...why? cus Money alone cant bring you success. You need a topclass manager to manage that rich team.

No...Roman dint do an eeini meini whatever on us. He looked to buy Man Utd before us. But then turned his attention to Chelsea after we booked our Champions league berth as he saw a potential in us. Had we not secured a champions league place that season, I dont think Roman would have bought us. And frgt league titles, Manc City havent won any trophies cups shields in 30 years. For me there isnt much difference between Accrington Stanley and Manc City. I could have understood had he bought an Aston Villa or Portsmouth or even Spurs, as they are pushing Liverpool and Arsenal to the wire in the league table and have also won some cups. But Manc City? gimme a break.

Are we Hypocrite? NO Chelsea won FA cup, Cup winners CUP, league cup and booked a Champions league place. All this without any Roman;s money. Manc City hasnt won anything in last 30 yrs. got relegated twice in 90s Here is the proof: Honours First Division (highest tier)[44]Champions 1937, 1968Runners-up 1904, 1921, 1977First Division/Second Division (second tier)Champions 1899, 1903, 1910, 1928, 1947, 1966, 2002 (7 times, record holders)Runners-up 1896, 1951, 1989, 2000Second Division (third tier)Play-off winners 1999FA CupWinners 1904, 1934, 1956, 1969Finalists 1926, 1933, 1955, 1981League CupWinners 1970, 1976Runners-up 1974European Cup Winners' CupWinners 1970Charity ShieldWinners 1937, 1968, 1972Runners-up 1934, 1956, 1969, 1973Full Members CupRunners-up 1986Source:wiki

They havent won anything in last 30 years. frgt last 10 years. Rotting in 3rd division in the 90's and one fine morning get bought by a billionair who must have done a "eenie meenie minie mo" on Accrinton Stanley and Manc City.

Infact Playing in the hole is his natural position. He never started as a Winger. Only Jose Mourinho converted him to a Winger once he came to Chelsea.

Where did you learn this 200000 pounds a week wage.? Link please. And it wasnt his fault. Madrid never wanted us to have him hence they laboured the talks to the last day. And Robinho's move to Manc City was out of despearation. It was either be in madrid and take the boos or goto manc city. No move to Chelsea for you.

Which then makes it more complicated for that Arab. Roman, Ecceltone, Mittal, even Glazers or Gillete and his partner for that matter are indivually rich and are billionaires themselves. Whatever money they spend is their own. They wouldnt have to ask for permissions. This guy is a billionaire no doubt. But has his stakes in that AbuDhabi Group. His personal wealth isnt as much as Romans. AbuDhabi United group is a part of the UAE's soveriegn wealth fund. It is not his personal wealth. That guy isnt even in worlds top 100 richest people. Yes the UAE's soverign wealth fund is worth 800 to 600 billion dollars. But they dont own Manc City.

On second thoughts. I feel what Kenyon did was fair. Why the fuck should we get bullied into quoting a bigger bid by that Ghetto Club in Madrid.? We gave a price but They went to Manc City cus they gave a higher price. You think Roman wouldnt be able to pay 33 million? Ofcourse he could have but I am glad we stood our ground. That has saved us 32.5 million pounds. Awsome isnt it?

They have met. Watch Skysports.

Now that everything has settled down on me. I come to a conclusion that Robinho joining Manchester City is an act of UTTER DESPARATION!!..Why wouyld anyone leave a club like Madrid and Chelsea and go to Manc City who havent won absolutely anything in last 30 years. He knew that he burnt his own arse by publicly stating that he hates Madrid and its board and was in such a desparation that he could have even joined Accrinton Stanley had they made an offer for him.

And who the fuck said, 200000pounds for Robinho...? Bullshit.

Whats that? the page isnt opening

Hell YEAH!!! They DID...Wenger was pissed after which Media blew the issue and Jose was fined.

Honestly, tell me. Did you seriously feel they would make top 5 before Robinho's signing? Last year everyone thought the same about them and they failed to even make the UEFA cup berth. Robinho signing alone wouldnt turn their fortune on its head. Spursare shit. I am counting on Pompey and Aston Villa to take the 5th Spot. but Manc City will make it to the UEFA cup next year.

Exactly, Hoping to see us break even by 1 yr later than expected as opposed to 2-3 years as predicted before..

What was the losses we recorded last season...? 80 million pounds is it? 80 million minus 32 million(money aved off robinho's transfer). Wow...plus we have offloaded highly paid players like SWP and Sheva. Thats great.

SPOT ON!!!!

What are you on...?Berba along with Villa has to be one of the top forwards in EUROPE. And Robinho now is much bigger name and one of the top Wingers in Europe. He now is netime biger than Robben then. Robben was bought only for 12 million for gods sake as a 20 year old talent.

I aint Jealous Babes. Its only the fact that Elliot conciously or subconciously comparing Manc City to us, is what I dont agree with. We werent as bad as they are atm. And I hate this media born "NEW Chelsea IN TOWN" slogan.
