they didn't really want to do it but were basically threatened with being left out.
I know some will scoff at this given the human rights situation in some of the countries but i've worked on a few projects involving these super rich Arab sheikhs and they love British tradition and they tend to be accutely sensitive to any kind of bad PR they receive over here. I can;t see the Man City owners being confortable with the reaction this is getting. Abramovich also has tended to show over the years that he "gets" what Chelsea as a club and british football are about.
This is being driven (in this country at least) by the Americal owners and that snivvelling little sh*t Ed Woodward who coincidentally worked for JP Morgan before moving to United after he brokered the Glazer takeover.
