Derek Acorah is the real deal Mrs H. He used to play for Liverpool you know. Play what? The flute in the Spiritual Arse Bandit Band? I think he could tell what result they were gonna get before the game. But i could predict that. Remember once reading that Bill Shankly took the piss out of his psychic abilities much like the whole nation does now. |

Reports of City takeover
Abu Dhabi United Group invest in Premier League club
Last updated: 1st September 2008
Manchester City have been taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment, according to reports.
The website for Arabian Business claims that a deal with current owner Thaksin Shinawatra was completed on Sunday evening.
The former Thai prime minister has been looking for new investment in the club, despite taking charge just over 12 months ago.
Shinawatra has helped bankroll a number of big-money transfers in the past but, with his assets currently frozen as he awaits trial in Thailand, doubts have been cast over his long-term future at the club.
Details
The Abu Dhabi United Group will be represented on the club's board by Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, chief executive of Hydra Properties.
Fahim said: "We will release details later, but this is a great event for both the club and Abu Dhabi.
"Our goal is very simple - to make Manchester City the biggest clup in the Premier League, and to begin with, to finish in the top four this season."

Sky Sports News understands that Manchester City have tabled a shock bid for Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov.
City's offer for Berbatov is reported to be in excess of £30million and would set a new British transfer record.
The Bulgaria international has been a target for Premier League champions Manchester United throughout the summer, but City have now stepped in with an audacious last-minute move.
Berbatov has been left out of Juande Ramos' plans for the club's last two matches, with the coach feeling his presence was a disruptive influence on the rest of the squad.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted at the end of last week he was unsure if the deal would go through before Monday's midnight deadline.
But talks between the two clubs were believed to be ongoing as the clock ticked down.
However, City have now joined the race and are looking to hijack the move, having earlier sold Vedran Corluka to Spurs.
The news comes on a dramatic day at Eastlands as Abu Dhabi United Group say they have completed their takeover of the club.

... i assume they mean club. NO......they most definitely meant Clup! They want Man City to become the biggest Commercial Liability Umbrella Policy in the Premier League. I for one believe they can do it! |
