Ferguson accused Manchester City of spending money like a madman, but Mansour was regarded as pragmatic, alert and wise. He has a lot of investments in Britain. For example, only seven months after he bought shares in Barclays Bank, he decided to sell his 1 1% shares, which made him gain a net profit of1400 million pounds. On the same day Mansour sold the shares of Barclays Bank, Manchester City signed Barry from Villa for120,000. 65.438+0.2 million pounds is really not crazy for 65.438+0.4 billion pounds. In Ferguson's eyes, 100 pounds, in Mansour's eyes, may be only 1 shilling.
Mansour is also the chairman of Peninsula Sports Club and UAE Elite Horse Racing Association. If he is short of money and needs some pounds, he can ask his wife Manar for help, because Manar is the daughter of Dubai Chief Al Maktoum. Mansour and Manar have two children, a 4-year-old daughter and a 3-year-old son. But he also has a wife and a big child.
The question is, why did Manchester City become the lucky one? Why did Mansour choose Manchester City? The Sun said that the most important thing is that Mansour is also a fan, and he hopes to make Abu Dhabi as world-famous as Dubai through football.
Mansour is next to his friend Mubarak, who is also the current president of Manchester City Club. Mubarak is currently in charge of royal investment and runs a two-year-old Mu Badala Development Company. Mu Badala has invested in more than 50 well-known enterprises around the world, including Italian Ferrari, which owns 5% of the shares.
