Apex: Muscat Daily (27/Febuary/2010)

So Muscat Daily publish a story on the front page titled: Omani to become owner of Brazilian football club. Now the content of my story is absolutely explicit, so bear with me. I might swear and curse and use offensive language, so please do not sue me. And yes, read this at your own risk. 
So anyways, this Omani businessman upgrades his assets to buy a football club in Brazil. A good step business wise, but a wrong step when the media tells the story. Finex 2005 Futebol Clube also known as Phoenix Football Club 2005, as of 2012 will be fully owned by Mr. Ahmed Bin Zaid Al-Mahrami (Thumbs Up). Now lets evaluate this situation wisely. 
 1. Signs a sponsorship deal with Finex 2005 Futebol Clube for 2 years
 2. After sponsorship contracts end, he will buy or own the club
 3. Reportedly purchased the club for $2.5 million dollars.

It also mentioned that Al-Makan Cafe will be internationally known. Now unless he has Al-Makan cafes all over the world, then it will increase sales in his business, but if its just a local trend, then what does he benefit?
2nd of all, the club is not even that famous, making it a bad investment unless he plans to spend more millions on buying international superstars and taking them to Brazil to play (Hehe). I am not criticizing anyone so far, but WTF. 

Ok, so $2.5 Million is approx. 963,000 OMR. The value of that amount is like purchasing two lands in Madinat Allam, in Muscat, each land sized about 600 square meters, so in Omani English, you can say he invested in two lands that cost 1 million Rials. (WTF).

Now lets get back home (Oman). Yeah, did you know that the population of Omani's that watch football don't even know anything about Brazilian league football.... We support teams like Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and teams that are well known. 

So my ultimate question is, what the heck is Muscat Daily feeding our minds and time with stories like this? 
Did he study business, or thinks buying a football club is like buying a playstation 3 and sticking it with his logo? 


Someone please help me, I am confused???????????
