I'm sure they would give Schumi a license to build some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Speaking to The Guardian today, Al-Fahim revealed that he is serious about helping City to become the biggest football club in the world and plans to prove it with a bid for Ronaldo in January.

"Ronaldo has said he wants to play for the biggest club in the world, so we will see in January if he is serious," he stated.

The press are speculating that he may make a move for Kaka (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well...as long as they stay clear of Milan..I don't care what circus he pulls. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It's really nice to see the big 4 meet up with someone who can take them on their own terms. I'm really happy with this deal. The hegemony is finally broken. Though now Arsenal and Liverpool are really up against it.

This is all some big joke with me. These new Man City owners could get in major trouble if they keep talking the way they do. I'm thinking point deduction and fines.

Fines won't hurt them.

I say hit them where it would really hurt. You want to talk illegaly about transfers? Well, no transfers for 12 months then.

My question is... is what they are saying illegal?

I really would want to see them slapped with a punishment like that one.

Yes, it is. In this country you aren't allowed to mention the name of a player when talking about transfers UNLESS you've had permission from their club to talk to them about a move. It's a form of tapping up. Teams use it as a why of getting players on the cheap.

I just don't see it happening though, I believe Chelsea got a £5m fine for their Ashley Cole thing, so City would be similar to that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well Dr Sulaiman (is that his name?) mentioned quite a few players by name... and he even mentioned he wanted Cristiano Ronaldo... and mentioned a price...

This guy is really blatant.

"A milder form of "tapping up" involves a manager's letting his admiration for a player at another club become known, perhaps by hinting at his interest while working as a pundit during the broadcast of a game in which the player is taking part."

That's an example of tapping up according to wiki. But he's being even more blatant than that, he's not just hinting. As you said, he's literally just naming players with complete disregard for the rules. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
