The phone conversation after City’s takeover
Mark.
Garry.
We sold the club.
Finally that Thai cunt is gone. The only thing worse than a Thai cunt is an Arab cunt. Who’d you pawn us off to Garry?
Mark, you’re on a conference call with Dr Suleiman Al Fahim, a representative of our new majority owners, Abu Dhabi United Group. He wants to ask you a few questions.
…
Mark? Are you still with us?
Yes Garry, what can I do for you and Mr…
It’s Dr Al-Fahim, Mr Hughes. As you know we have less than a day left before your transfer window closes. Who would you like to sign?
Excuse me?
Who would you like to sign?
How much money are we talking about?
No, you don’t understand me. Tell me who you want to sign and we’ll go get him.
Ok, get me Santa Cruz.
Erm Mark, I don’t think we’re aiming for the UEFA Cup this season.
What do you mean?
Mr Hughes, we want to play in the Champions League next season. So I ask you again - if you could have any player in the world, who would you sign?
Ok, get me Berbatov.
Click. 3 minutes pass by before it rings again.
Mark, it’s Garry.
What happened?
Just got off the phone with Levy. He’s accepted our offer for Berbatov.
You what? They’re asking for millions…
And we have millions. Mr Hughes. Many millions. Now, who else do you want?
…Ok, get me Alonso or Vieira, and one of Villa, Gomez and Eto’o. And bag that boy Ustari if you can.
Anything else?
Yea, how about a pay raise?

“Our bids are in. Anyone else?”
“Seriously? How ’bout getting me Robinho.”
“Done”
hahahahaha hilarious!! I was just going to write about the saga with City today. It’s all very amusing to say the least.
Wish I’d written this today…
hahaha…
yea. Looks more creditable now that they’ve signed Robinho.
Big move. I can find news on the Berba deal. Transfer closed and I’m stuck at work for another hour. 7pm here on the East Coast of US. Hope we got our man, but by the smirk he had on his face in the pic of him outside Carrington that I saw on The Sun, looks like we got ‘em. Now which jersey do I wanna buy with his name and number on it. HA!
Blue 3rd kit looks brilliant by the way.
can’t find news…******
