So even an outlay of £950m, and a willingness to accept the burden of a £194m loss on a single season, is not enough to guarantee a place in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Not, at any rate, when the subjects of that investment find themselves up against the tactical astuteness and competitive hunger of a side assembled with one 60th of Sheikh Mansour's spending on Manchester City in the past three years.
maybe 950m more would do the trick.
I really hope they get banned from Europe this type of spending is terrible for the sport
