Abu Dhabi boss plans Ronaldo swoop
- Thread starter Eyepopper
- Start date
Ronaldo wouldn't go there
He's said its not about the money (otherwise he'd stay with us forever) he's just always wanted to play in Spain. So there would be 0% chance of this ever happening

they are if they think they'll finish in the top four anytime soon...
He is probably new to football and just wanted to invest into something that makes some extra cash. We all know about the arabs and on a side note 240 m for Ronaldo wtf is he thinking anyway?
For $240m I'll push his permatanned ass to Eastlands in a wheelbarrow
Although realistically they'll probably be after a more glamorous entrance

If hey offer ronaldo 500000 pounds a week and we accept i think he will go.
He probably will be able to generate a lot of income at man city.
I mean if he can spend 600 mil pounds and get city to earn as much as united do then it will probably be worth it.
There has to be a salary cap soon though.

Huge club.
That's Pete Boyle before he became Slimmer of the Year.
What a prize twat he looks. For feck's sake. The face of the future.
The grave beckons like an aeon of solace...
Fcking hell 120 mil pounds?
Thats too much money.
Thats too much money.
He sounds like he wants Shitty to be a bigger toy for him to play with that Roman at Chelsea. Could be frustrating for everyone else for a few seasons, but i think this guy will be more likely to get bored than Roman, especially if they don't emulate Chelsea's success as soon as they managed to.

For 120mil? That would literally wipe out a sizeable part of the Glazer debt. If it's true it might force our hand.
As crazy as it may sound, it seems easier to stomach this than selling to Madrid for about half the price.

Good thing we didn't sell him at a cut price to Real Madrid, then.
It's not his personal wealth that's high, it's his company's.
About a fifth of it.
Although to be honest, any club would sell for that amount of money.
Ronaldo might not be willing to move though.
Wait till you see the salary he'd be offered...
The Company is the family is the business is Abu Dhabi - no shareholders of note or importance apart from his Zaeed family - he is the son of the Ruler of Abu Dhabi I believe
It would make more sense if they gave the Glazers the 900 million for the club, and be done with. Then the stupid Arab feckers wouldn't need to spend a fortune trying to pretend they have the biggest club in the world.
another moron playing real life FM.

Oh Lordy.... Is this guy for real?? This sounds a lot like the gameplan of some spotty teenager who is playing one of the football games on the PC and has discovered a cheat to get unlimited cash.
I've always thought that most things are possible if you throw enough cash at the problem so I'm sure that Citeh could be come a more successful club (a more successful club, not a bigger club - they're massive already....) in terms of trophies (and let's face it, they couldn't get a lot worse!!!) but it will only last until someone with even more petrodollars buys up some team like Liverpool and decides to throw his billions into the pot.
As others have indicated, US sport has been down this road and a salary and/or investment cap is the probably the eventual outcome of it all. If the cap figures are related to turnover then it's probably a good thing for the likes of United, Barcelona and Real but not so good for the smaller clubs.
We'll see... I'm old enough to take a phlegmatic view of all this but to any Citeh fans who read this I would remind them that history shows that all bubbles burst eventually, and as a famous Frenchman once said "Glory is fleeting, but obscurity is forever".

Doesn't this make Hughes sit on such an ejectable seat!?!?
They need to implement rules on the percentage of turnover you can spend on salaries, and the amount of spending should also have a cap based on turnover and value of the club.
Seems like someone that just wants a bit of attention....
Nah.....Nah,this has got to be a piss take. Surely it has to.
... Scary.
What a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime!
If I was an oil tycoon I would buy Liverpool and then run them into the ground.
How do you find out if you have oil below you house?

delusions of grandeur, you have just got to love them. at least they didn’t take over at anfield, that amount of delusion may have caused the world to implode on itself.
Good point actually.

I'm a lot less bothered about this happening to City than I would have been if they bought Liverpool.
Is that just because I'm not from Manchester? Or do mancs feel the same?
