SEMTEX Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 http://www.arabianbusiness.com/dubai-buys-spanish-la-liga-club--rename-team-dubai--394903.html Royal Emirates Group, the Dubai investment group chaired by HRH Sheikh Butti Bin Suhail Al Maktoum, has bought a top-league Spanish football team set to be renamed ‘Team Dubai’. The privately-held firm said in a statement Tuesday that it has taken over ownership of a La Liga – Spain’s premiership league – team in a deal to be announced Thursday. “The said team will be named as ‘Team Dubai’,” the statement said. The unnamed club is speculated to be the debt-ridden Spanish club Zaragoza. Spanish media reports in February a Dubai sovereign wealth fund had made a €3m buyout offer for the team.

Dokko Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Could see Chelsea cutting their losses with Torres if the owners are serious spenders. Would probably be a good move for him considering how it's gone at Chelsea. Terrible decision to rename the club, hopefully someone puts a stop to it, ie the league by saying team Dubai isn't registered in the league and must start in the lower divisions.

Fenham Mag Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 They'll probably send out a reasuring statement saying it is only to showcase the clubs name as a potential sponsor vehicle. The team will be known as "Team Dubai @ Zaragoza". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
