I don't know. I don't know that Al Maktoum's people really understand what this team is all about, what it means, and the passion that the fans have for this team. He may be a great business man, but thats not what it comes down to for me. Will this team lose what made a fan in the first place? The only thing that makes think that might not happen is that I know what kind of person this guy is. Hes very traditionalist, sticks to his roots. I just hope that continues with Roma.

I dunno about him being a traditionalist.. he's the one who pushed for Free-holidng of real estate when the entire royal family of Abu DHabi opposed it, he's got a very broad vision.
What i was saying.. as far as a business perspective goes, he's not any less than Soros. He'll be just as capapbale from running Roma as an enterprise point of view.
How he fares with in terms of not losing the true values of Roma.. well.. thats a risk we face with Soros as well. Who's to sya who's better

Totti also paid tribute to Liverfekkin'wankscum's talismanic attacking duo Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres.
"I can only think about an Italian adjective to describe them both: grandissimi!" he enthused.

Il Romanista: Per gli arabi niente più che un ottimo investimento.
I think it means something like the Arabs are nothing but an excellent investment. In their article their praise the Arabs' "winning mentality". Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Personally, I trust the Arabs more than Soros.

OFFICIAL FROM THE CLUB WEBSITE.....so far no offer from Dubai.
So even though it could be true that the Royal family is interested, they have not made any move yet.
If they really intend to buy Roma, I guess they will make an offer soon, before negotiations with Soros go further.

I Want Roma – Emir Of Dubai
The Emir of Dubai, Saeed Al Maktoum, has confirmed that his family is interested in buying Roma.
The Italian press has been full of reports that the Giallorossi are set to be taken over.
The most recent bid for the club was purported to have come from the Royal Family of the Arab Emirates.
Roma’s parent company, Italpetroli, earlier today rejected these rumours, however the Emir of Dubai appears to have immediately contradicted these statements.
"I do not follow football much, but I know that my family wants to buy Roma,â€

Blog: Roma’s Achilles' Heel
Yet again Roma have leapt majestically over hurdles only to trip up on a twig. Susy Campanale wonders what it’ll take for them to win a Scudetto
As with almost every cliché, it originally contained a nugget of truth – it’s a marathon, not a sprint. Roma are just not built for the kind of weekly slog against the smaller sides who pack their defences and midfields, hoping for at most a snatched equaliser on the break. Their tactics, manpower and general attitude are to dance around the opposition, leaping from space to space. A brick wall of defending can only lead to a bruised nose.
It would be unfair, though, to single out tactics in this situation. The fact remains that for many years now – ever since the master of the hard slog, Fabio Capello, left – the Giallorossi are psychologically ill-prepared for a League title. If you look at this season’s results, the Scudetto was lost in a 3-0 defeat at Siena and two 1-1 draws with Livorno. That’s seven points right there thrown away against teams in the relegation zone.
Last Saturday’s debacle proves they have learned nothing from all the previous setbacks and we saw the same mistakes over and over again. David Pizarro epitomised Roma’s problem with this sort of game when he attempted a back-heel in his own final third, which was intercepted and created a great chance for Livorno. A few minutes later he did the same thing again and it led to the equaliser. Foolish doesn’t cover it.
Then look at Inter’s performance against Torino. If I were the Coach of the Serie A leaders travelling to a team in the bottom six, I would frankly be embarrassed to field a 4-5-1 system and take off a striker after going 1-0 up. Rarely have I seen such desperate Catenaccio tactics in the modern game among anyone except a relegation struggler scrambling for points.
Embarrassing, yes. Effective? Definitely. The Nerazzurri have perfected the art of winning while playing, as Dejan Stankovic himself put it on Sunday night, “really, really badly.â€

Calcio, Cerci verràoperato al menisco
Eurosport | lun, apr 21, 22:01
L'ala del Pisa verràsottoposto a un intervento chirurgico nella giornata di domani
Alessio Cerci verràoperato al menisco domani. L' ala del Pisa, di proprietàdella Roma, è infortunato al ginocchio destro sabato scorso contro il Lecce. L'intervento chirurgico saràeffettuato a Roma da Pierpaolo Mariani, lo stesso professore che ieri ha operato il capitano della Roma Francesco Totti. Ancora non è possibile stabilire se Cerci potràrecuperare in tempo per la disputa dei play-off di serie B previsti dal 4 al 15 giugno.
La risonanza magnetica a cui si è sottoposto, oltre alla rottura del menisco mediale, ha infatti evidenziato un'infiammazione del crociato anteriore. Soltanto l'apertura del ginocchio in artroscopia permetteràdi valutare se anche il crociato ha subito lesioni.
