Chapter 214 Change of Dynasty
An hour after Duncan stepped out of Fahim's room, a notice was posted on City's official website.

"Due to personal reasons, Mr. Thaksin announced his resignation as the chairman of the Manchester City Club and announced the sale of the club. The Abu Dhabi consortium from the United Arab Emirates announced the purchase of 90% of the shares of the Manchester City club and officially became the new owner. The Abu Dhabi consortium hereby The representative of this acquisition is Mr. Al Fahim, a member of the UAE royal family. At the same time, Mr. Gary Cook will become the CEO of the team. Mr. Steben Duncan will continue to serve as the head coach of the team."

This news, like a heavy nuclear bomb, had a great impact in the football circle.

Thanks to the reason why the consulting network is extremely developed now, the news spread all over the world in just one afternoon.

And a lot of information about the "Abu Dhabi Consortium" has been dug up by the pervasive media.

The first to be dug out was the "Abu Dhabi Consortium".To be precise, the company that acquired Manchester City was a company called Abu Dhabi United Development and Investment Group Party, a company registered specifically for the acquisition of Manchester City. This company is an investment institution under the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is commonly known as "Abu Dhabi Consortium".

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, behind which is the UAE royal family. All the wealth generated by oil in the UAE is managed, invested and value-added by this fund.

And how rich is Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?It is said that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's investment in the world has reached 9000 billion US dollars.

Middle Eastern rich!
Although Fahim has a prominent status and is a member of the Nahyan family of the Abu Dhabi royal family, he is only an executor.The behind-the-scenes investor who actually decided on this investment is Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the elder brother of the current UAE president, the chairman of the UAE First Gulf Bank, and the chairman of the International Petroleum Investment Corporation.

That is Mansour.

Mansour's personal worth has reached 170 billion pounds.In contrast, the total worth of Chelsea boss Abramovich is only 53 billion pounds.

This boss is rich!
What everyone didn't expect was that Manchester City left a rich Thaksin, but replaced it with an even richer Mansour!
Although there have been a lot of capital intrusions in the Premier League over the years, and big bosses have bought clubs from time to time, it has never happened like now that such a rich company has bought a team.

With Abramovich's ruble storm ahead, everyone can already look forward to another oil storm.

According to gossip, Fahim, who has just joined the club, gave the team a transfer fee of 2 million pounds!
I wipe, 2 million pounds!

Enough to buy out the main lineup of a small team!

The time has come to the afternoon of August 8, and there are only six or seven hours left before UEFA's summer transfer window closes.

What big moves will Manchester City make?
Robinho?

Ronaldo?

Torres?
Berbatov?
Beckham?

In an instant, almost all players with transfer rumors were hooked up with Manchester City, and once the players hooked up with Manchester City, they began to pay a substantial premium.

Everyone is staring at Manchester City's official website, looking forward to the arrival of a blockbuster transfer.

An hour, two hours...

Everyone's eyes were sore, and their fingers went numb when they clicked the mouse, but there was still no news.

Manchester City's official website is as calm as if the technicians are off work.

Wait, the technicians won't really be off work...

Someone who was familiar with the Manchester City club quickly called to confirm that the Manchester City technicians were not off work, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since there is no get off work, there will definitely be big moves!
At this moment, everyone looked at the official website of the Manchester City club with a feeling of nervousness, probably only when checking the scores of the Datianchao College Entrance Examination.

"Yes, yes!" Finally, someone quickly swiped a message.

It is also popular on Manchester City's official website.

"Manchester City Club officially announced that the team officially signed the main central defender of Fluminense Club in Brazil, Thiago Silva, with a transfer fee of 1000 million euros. Thiago Silva, 24 years old, played in the Brazilian League this year. Best Defender…”

"Ugh!"

The media in front of the computer let out a sigh.In the past, the purchase of a defender for 1000 million pounds would definitely be a big news, but in front of 2 million pounds, it seems to have become a mosquito leg.

Make people look down upon.

"Why such a small transfer!"

"This transfer is simply not news!"

"Keep waiting, Manchester City will definitely make a big move!"

The media continued to wait in front of the computer.

Not only the media, but even many fans are waiting on the tree.This summer, Manchester City is definitely a spoiler in the transfer market, buying Yaya Toure and Aguero one after another, making the fans cheer.

This kind of carefree feeling of squandering a lot of money, except in FM games, how can I experience it at any other time?

The club's successive large-scale signings have raised the appetite of the fans, and many people are waiting here foolishly.

Manchester City must have amazing signings!
In a certain fan forum, fans even launched a questionnaire survey on the "possibility of signing Manchester City".

Among them, Berbatov took the lead and ranked first, followed by Robinho. It seems that everyone has a lot of resentment towards this Brazilian midfielder, and then Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ronaldo forwards like that.

On the football field, after all, the striker is more eye-catching.

There is an emperor who understands the ball citing classics to demonstrate the possibility of Manchester City buying so-and-so, citing classics from ancient times to the present, and speaking with a nose and eyes, it is unbelievable.

But just talking without practicing is also very worrying!

Some fans logged on to Manchester City's official website to refresh it, but the official website was empty, and the news of Thiago Silva's joining was still at the top of the list!
Who is this Thiago Silva? He is not young at the age of 24. Why does the club spend so much money?Moreover, Brazilian players are either forwards or attacking midfielders, or midfielders such as midfielders. I have not heard of Brazilian players who are central defenders.The Brazilian player Qiu Feng is so undisciplined, can it work?

Anyway, waiting on the tree to browse the official website is also boring. For those who are curious, they searched for Thiago Silva's game video, and a few minutes later.

"Wow, Manchester City has picked up a treasure! This guy's defensive ability is really good, with comprehensive abilities, assisting defense, interception, and composure, all of which are top choices. What's more terrifying is that this guy has a good foundation as a Brazilian player. And an excellent long pass ability..."

"This guy is definitely far more than 1000 million euros!"

So idle is also idle, this guy edited Thiago Silva's video into a collection and put it on the Internet.

"Damn it! This defense is awesome!"

"He is not tall, but his high-altitude ball ability is amazing. Blessed is Joel Luka!".
"The chase is also very fast, and there is no need to worry about the speed of Manchester City's defense anymore!"

Fans who had nothing to do at leisure gathered here one after another and found that Manchester City's new foreign central defender was definitely a buried diamond.
