No clue but keeping a low profile is what is always best from an owner, so the less we hear from him the better.
Exactly this….prob still just buzzing he got the Sala insurance money.Quote:

Not sure, does it matter? Why do you need to know lol.

I've had loads of texts from loads of mates saying he is dusting off his CV to apply for the job of first minister 👍
Hopefully he is writing the cheques, getting Ken Choo to clean Lamborghinis on the forecourt of an HR Owen dealership somewhere and leaving all the strategic decisions to Mehmet Dalman.
I'm not being facetious but I still don't understand why he retains an interest in City, which costs hom very good money.
Kudos can't surely be the answer!

We’ll never be able to see his books but like most people in similar positions the real financial position is obscured by a variety of different accounting practices both in the UK, US, Belgium, Malaysia and wherever else he has business interests
No different to 95% of other football owners outside of the Premier League thenQuote:

Where's Erol
The financial loss isn't completely real until he sells up.
I think he's hoping for promotion on a very modest budget.
Also the recent court cases have probably had much to do with his sticking around.
There's no financial gain at the moment, I can't see what enjoyment he gets from owning an average championship club either.
He missed a trick during the whole rebrand thing by not inviting netflix or prime in for a documentary series. Without doubt they would have had more interesting content than they could begin to edit. Was already a circus. Could have been the real version of the office.
You know what they say - no news is good news.
I'm more concerned as to what happens if he dies.
