Nick the Hammer Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I know this might sound like quite a obvious question but... Who is the richest club in FM2009? I'm assuming Manchester City... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Abu Dhabi consortium's coffers are so large that they even bring Abramovich to his knees 10 times over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Of the seven United Arab Emirates, I believe Abu Dhabi is even wealthier than Dubai. Its oil wealth is certainly greater. Manchester City really are sitting on a fortune so vast it dwarfs even Abramovich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stirfry Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Abramovich's money is personal wealth which he can use any way he likes. The Abu Dhabi Consortium is the wealth of an entire oil emirate. The consortium are allocators of capital and therefore they have accountability for the money they spend, they can't pursue loss making ventures without getting a return so I doubt they will spend as ridiculously as a lot of people think. Having said that, Man City are probably the richest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvbrock82 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i listened to a great interview with their representative by a BBC journalist when city was bought... it was hilarious.. Reporter: "in England we have a saying which goes 'how deep is your pocket?' So how deep really is your pocket?" Sheikh Mansour: "Very, very deep." Reporter: "Deeper than Abramovich?" Sheikh Mansour: "hehehe... much, muuuch deeper." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right. However, Lakshmi Mittal is the 5th richest man in the world. Plus his F1 partners are all Billionaires. That aside, the owners of QPR are operating the club as a business and expect it to make money... not as a toy aka Man City. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
