Oh dear, about sums it up for me really.
Not wanting to be outdone by the likes of Chelsea or Real Madrid when it comes to vulgarity, Manchester City, it's bum still sore after bending over for a corrupt and murderous Taiwanese autocrat, has now spread it's legs for an indolent and juvenile Arab sheikh.
Like a teenage boy who has just figured out how to edit a club's finances on Football Manager, Dr Al-Fahim plans to buy "a minimum 18" new players, including Robinho for 32m and Ronaldo for 135m.
Chelsea have found it harder than they expected to create a 'brand' with the worldwide appeal of Manchester United, Abramovich has discovered, after a few years in the game, that self-respect, consistency and competence matter as much as an infinite bank account.
Manchester City evidently have no self-respect, and I wonder how their fans will react to becoming not just the most hated team in the UK, but also the most derided and scorned and ridiculed.
It really is a shame.
