Its time to get nasty with RBS to apply pressure on twit & tw@tter.

this is promising Nan, lets keep the fingers crossed .

Lee - there were two points in my post: a) lakes post boll!x as a rule, and b) a question to Nan to ask if there's any truth to the rumour (cos unlike the previously mentioned person, Nan generally does NOT post boll!x !)

So it was an upbeat post of mine, savvy ?

So how do we all feel about this:

A group from Abu Dhabi buying the club?

The other half of the family that own Man City - starting bid of £490m, including assurances for an immediate start on the stadium and transfer funds.

The Premier League clearing the deal in principal, allowing one family (of parts of a family) to own 2 clubs in the same division.

Purslow and Ayre to stay at the club, Broughton to leave and be replaced by a permanently resident new Chairman.

Using NDA's a new manager is already selected and ready to be installed, working closely with Carragher to transition him into a full time coaching role.

All debts written off and finance for players until the stadium is completed, then the club running on a sustainable business model, similar to Arsenal but with contingent funds available to bring in superstar players.

_

Finer details:

Abu Dhabi see the north west as a sporting / football centre of excellence

They see us a potentially higher profile than City and their ability to expand the TV deal further around the globe and combat online streaming.

As the PL are not objecting to the deal, it adds credibility and the PL want further support from organisations that will strengthen the league, in comparison to Spain and Italy.




So, that's it. The news I've been waiting to post - the Chinese thing that I've mentioned before was wrong, I got it wrong. This is all based on my ITK contact, working out of London, in connection with Barclays. I've had firm confirmation from my ITK at RBS that something is definitely happening but they did not confirm Abu Dhabi, they did confirm the amounts and sustainability plan.

Additionally, I have no idea if Amanda Steveley is involved but I do know of a brokerage / fund management group in Mayfair, London having been out to gulf in relation to this deal.

I don't have a firm time scale for the close, I think things seem quite advanced. That's a personal feeling only. Again, personally I think Rafa going was the final hurdle to the deal being done. I think he was asked to leave because he'd indicated the he'd be prepared to talk to Inter, if there was uncertainty about his role at the club. I think it was mutual in every sense of the word and that Inter has been his destination of choice since the Hull match. I do not know who the next manager will be.

Finally, before today I had not seen Abu Dhabi mentioned in any despatches. It's a compelling prospect and I trust my source. Although, I'd be lying if I didn't say I had a gut feeling for Qatar first and Dubai second - I'm not covering my bases, just being honest. So unless anyone knows otherwise, Abu Dhabi looks likely to be it.

I hope I've been as upfront as possible and that Abu Dhabi is clear favourite.

Yeh been reading that on TIA . The so called ITK primetime is greeted with a lot of sceptisism on there NAN . There's a battle of the ITK'S going on there at the minute . This Primetime fella is batteling it out with a fella called SHOWMETHEMONEY who insists that it's shiek mo trying to buy us but is reaching know where near the valuation that H+G want . Very funny stuff actually .

Not saying you havent Daws, all im suggesting is that people steer well clear of koptalk.

What are the odds they say the same thing about us?


But I heard it from a couple of people, and whispers are starting.. would be nice eh?
