City Football Group: Breeding Talent or Managing Image in the West?

Manchester City, is one of the finest football teams on planet Earth. The club has achieved great heights with the likes of Augero, Kevin De Bruyneand David Silva. However, as they say success comes at a cost, and with Manchester City almost any amount of money is forced into making sure that the club is neither second, nor third, but the best in the world.

City owner, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, belongs to the royal family of Abu Dhabi. Together with Khaldoon al-Mubark, his youthful executive and advisor to royal family, he holds the key to delegate how management works.

Even recently, a cousin of Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan owner Mansour failed with a record £2bn takeover bid for Liverpool this year. They said that the club owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), regularly received “proposals of interests” and this approach did not directly reach them. Therefore, any such deals were not stuck, but City’s interest was the prominent factor in the pact.
