smoggeordie 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 An unnamed English Premier League club has been bought by a member of the ruling family in the United Arab Emirates, according to the WAM news agency. The report, released on Sunday, claims Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr Al Qasimi, chairman of the Ras Al Khaimah Department of Customs and Seaports, has acquired a 60 per cent stake in a Premier League club. It has also been reported Sheikh Ahmed will be made the honorary chairman of the club, once the takeover is complete. If the deal does go through the unnamed club will become the second top flight outfit to be Middle East owned, following on from Abu Dhabi Sheikh Mansour's takeover at Manchester City. Portsmouth are also in the process of being taken over by another Abu Dhabi investor, with Sulaiman al-Fahim bidding to take charge at Fratton Park. The WAM report states that more details of any potential deal are to be released at a press conference in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3986 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I lost interest when I saw it was a premiership club Sad thing for me was I actually started to think "hang on 60% doesn't make sense" then realised the key word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyff 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The latest rumour is that it might not necessarily be a Premiership club, but more a 'top club'. The Sun has mentioned our name, so you never know. Don't know why they would only buy 60% though, unless they have another rich oil tycoon buying the other 40!

Maybe it's 60% because they don't want to lose Ashley's expertise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about someone a bit closer to home who has connections in the oil industry but more likely to be considered a buffoon than a tycoon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
