    Was reading the other day that the main guy in the Man City consortium is the son in law of the main backer of the other Arab group trying to buy Liverpool. Out of curiousity could there be an objection made that the same family are in control of too many clubs? Many big money industries have regulations designed to prevent cartels, monopolies etc etc, would the FA even allow the pool investment now?

    there have been noises from the FA and from the British govt. recently expressing along these lines. i'd imagine the rules regarding ownership of clubs will be redrawn in the not too distant future.

    It's also been made very clear that the two groups are fierce rivals, and I believe Ballague stated that it could in no way be constrewed as a conflict in interest.
    They are like chalk and cheese.

    dubai and abu dhabi are always trying to out do each other so i cant see them being cohorts!!

    also they let thaksin 'dodgiest man since charlie' siniwatra take over city, so i couldnt see them stepping in here!!
