According to a memorandum of understanding signed with Thaksin, Abu Dhabi United Group will take a 90% stake with Thaksin becoming honorary chairman of the club and retaining a 10% shareholding. Thaksin just bought Manchester City for $148 million in July last year. Why did he sell his club so fast? With Abu Dhabi's support, Manchester City bought a great Brazil footballer--Robinho for a British record fee of £32.5m. This is only the first step of Manchester City's plan of revival. According to Dr. Sulaiman Al-Fahim, the spokesman of Abu Dhabi United Group, ADUG will thoroughly change Manchester City just like Chelsea, another football club bought by a Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. He said that Manchester City's goal of this season was to enter Top 4 at the English Premiere League. Next year, they will fight hard for the champions of the league. To my surprise, Abu Dhabi United Group say they will continue their spending in January and will make MC one of the biggest clubs in the world. In order to fufill this big dream, they need to buy a lot of famous footballers. C.Ronaldo is their first target. Manchester City says that they would like to spend 240 million dollars to buy C. Ronaldo. Except C.Ronaldo, they are going to buy David Villa, Mario Gomez, Dimitar Berbatov to compete with Manchester United. If Manchester City can get those big names, it will become stronger and stronger. A new Chelsea will appear in front of us. You see, Roman Abramovich has invested millions of dollars to Chelsea to buy footballers, build new stadium etc. Five years has passed. He has got rewards. Chelsea has twice won the English Premier League and established itself as a top four club. What do you think of Manchester City? Will it win the champions of the league this year? Or at least, will they break Top four?

GUEST4360	What? They want to sign Ronaldo? I see. They have a lot of money to burn. They can buy whoever they like. Manchester City will soon become as strong as Manchester United.
