    Khaldoon Al Mubarak

    He´s often in New York actually... In business that is, unless there´s a Tufts reunion, a NY Univ board meeting or something CEO of a $100bn company and regarded as the right hand man of the Abu Dhabi crown prince. A mover and shaker in UAE for sure.

    We will know if there´s any news the 15th September.. As the NYCEDC holds their public hearing we will hear why Yankees asks for a billion in bonds at a guess.

    CITC - City in the Community

    Whenever we announce a stadium project it will be attacked politically.. We need to grow an identity as a club that is New York first and foremost when it comes to say social issues, sports, health whatever. I mean.. There is a reason no one is accusing The Salvation Army for being a malicious...

    When an outfit like CFG send out surveys and want to know what fans would like or are willing to endure it tells me that they are close to make a decision about "where".. They just want to have reports and stuff telling them where it ought to be in case the paymasters wonder why everything...

    Why Is Man City Copying Us?

    It´s because NYCFC had a smashing badge and Man City fans in Manchester made their opinion about how crap their own badge looked in comparison.. IMHO

    New Large Investment In Cfg From China

    UAE and China got loads of big trade deals.. And we can keep in mind that Chinese companies recently got some very nice exploration rights in Abu Dhabi so perhaps this is just a bit of grease on the wheels of industry sort of. Anyway, 13% is hardly a powerposition when Abu Dhabi owns 87% of CFG

    Patrick Vieira Appointed As NYCFC Coach

    To be honest I don´t see more than one big difference between Kreis and Vieira.. Vieira have played at the very top level, Heck.. Can we field our coach at a game? He´s about the same age as Raul, Lampard, Pirlo :D Erm, back to topic, what I´m alluding to is that he might have another...

    Glick Possibly Out At Nycfc... Maybe

    NYCFC contracts company to look for an executive and everyone assumed it was Glick being replaced?.. Let´s hope it´s the guy that will be the new head of club infrastructure (Stadium, training campus etc)

    Glick Possibly Out At Nycfc... Maybe

    Was more or less frogmarched to NYCFC by CFG when Pernelli left.. But returns to his old position now perhaps. Anyway, the key guy is Edelman I think, not sure what kind of guy we´ll get now though.

    They formed joint development companies it seems.. part owned by the CFG stakeholders, part owned by the City council. But the financing came from the CFG stakeholders
