I cannot see any other way we will improve until they have left.

What? You dont agree with me? Sorry but thats just the way i see it.

No, i agree, just makes me angry the way a takeover can happen just like that and we need one and cant get one for months!!!

DIC need to get a move on quick.

its not saudi mate, its UAE. abu dhabi is the next main city to dubai in UAE.


no real loss to us to be honest, the money comes from a fund and therefore the main aim is to make a profit so dont expect a chelsea situation

DIC will not be buying us but Shiekh Mo himself.

this is seriously bad for football in general. Looking at how abu dhabi (sp) do things, this is just gonna stupid. according to sources if they had had time they would have put in bids for torres, villa, ronaldo, fabregas et all spending hundreds of millions.

Apparently when they asked around to see how much had been spent at chelsea and were told 500 million they just said 'is that all'

the fact is that 500 million is absolutely nothing to these people, and that can only be bad for everyone in football around the world!!

Couldnt agree more

This sort of silly money thats being pumped into football clubs isnt sustainable in the long run

For average fan who wants to see his or team gaining success in the short term you cant begrudge the excitement of this sort of takeover.

Sometime in the future though it will end in tears
