Was going to ask about the undersoil heating, it’s things like that, the state of the floodlights, things covered in thick dust and grim, that just make the place look a big rough, when with a little love it’ll be great4

4 well run clubs, but that would suggest that our aims are more the Curbishley/Murray years than anything more flashy (which is fine with me)
Yes I know we may be close to break even this year, but we can still "only" lose £13M per season and £45M over 3 seasons going forward (if I'm correct).
So we can't spend an extra £10M in transfer fees and £5M in wages every year.
Any supporters that desire this, need to be realistic.
It’ll be interesting to see if we end up with a sponsor from the Middle East, that would be one way to increase what we can spend.
Longer term I can see us doing it through player sales. A good Championship season can make a player worth £10-20m.
I don’t want our better players to be sold, but I’d much rather we were the club selling them for £10m in the Championship than the one selling them for £1m in League 1.
He said players will be sold but only after we've had them for a few years and for decent money.
Of course, very similar was said six years ago.5 -

Actually I can’t remember if there is a boiler somewhere in situ or one needs to be bought?
No boiler was ever installed. It is a requirement of the PL that undersoil heating is operational, but with "global warming" it may not ever be used.0 -

I though his title is Sheik Saeed Bin Tahoon Nimmer.
The No1 honcho (head of the extended family and also an investor ), is entitled to have the title of “His Excellency“ Sheik Saeed Bin Tahoon Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan.
Is that correct?2 -
Some people won't want to read this but MS praised Richard Murray and credited him for brokering a large part of the deal.5

No idea how it works out there but would a secretary of a rich person be loaded enough or is he trying to raise the capital through his contacts or prolly a bit of both .
What I’m saying is is he loaded or not !I am only picking up on what was said by those on here based out in the Middle East and the fact that Nimer is himself, head of a business that has a portfolio of 60 successful businesses
I believe this has to be success for him and the family he represents, so they will make a good fist of it
The sustainably angle is pleasing to me, and I appreciate that they are being well advised PR wise, but, the one thing I am confident of is that they will not want any ties to RD.
I do think people may not be as ‘whelmed’ as they were at the start of the month with incomings, but I don’t believe that will be down to ESI, more due to the fact we won’t get value for money and won’t be held to ransom. I’m okay with that, hope others will be too, understand if that’s not the case come the 31st3 -

Is that correct?If he was a Sheikh it would be HH, not HE.He is definitely not an Al Nahyan family member0 -

His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer is the head of the Private Office ( read sovereign wealth fund) of Sheikh Saeed Bin Tahoon Mohammed Al Nayan.
As I understand it there are several ‘Royal’ families in the UAE and based around Abu Dhabi.
There is no direct link of money from the Royal Family (est net worth $15bn) to ESI.His Excellency is an honorific title that I remember reading can be given by the Royal families to extremely trusted advisers. That is His Excellency Tahnoon Nimer.No one really knows how much money of his own or of the Royal Family is being invested. Probably never know.7 -
Now we know that Paul McCarthy reads Charlton Life I’d just like to point out to Paul that my support for the Australian bid was only fleeting, as anyone here will confirm.36

I have read that Sheik Nimmer (I shall continue to call him a Sheik until I am categorically informed otherwise), has 60 companies in his portfolio with net value of between 15 to18 billion ! How much of that he actually has at his disposal is of course another thing altogether.
His Excellencies wealth is equally ambiguous, with the extended families wealth estimated at 10 times that.
Who knows the truth of the matter, given that we are talking figures here that are beyond being conceivable. Let’s say even if they are worth only 10% of those figures being touted, we are still talking very very serious wonga!
Another thing of course is how readily large sums are currently available either personally or corporate and just what they are prepared to spend both in the short and long term.

I can categorically inform you that Nimer is not a sheikh.6

It's honorific not homofiric.
Honorific adjective- given as a mark of respect but having few or no duties."he was elevated to the honorific status of ‘Dom’"

”May you live in interesting times.”
In your post you have them the wrong way round.
The Sheikh is Al Nahyan. (Remember the Sheikh is called Al, "call me Al").
His top employee is Nimer.
Nimer runs the office of the Sheikh controlling 60 companies.
Nimer is not royalty, the His Excellency title was bestowed/given to him, presumably by the Sheikh.0 -

AFKA’s started asking all the other mods to refer to him as his excellency now as well. Bloody honorificism gone mad13
