Having come in on the dreamboat, Man City's new Arab owners have quickly gone about pinching their supporters with the deadline day transfer of Robinho and gestures towards bigger signings come the New Year.

But just who the moneymen are and what plans they have, we reveal in our 10 need-to-know facts on the Abu Dhabi United Group...

1. The Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment (ADUG) was only set up 48 hours ago as an investment vehicle to facilitate the takeover of Man City.

2. ADUG shelled out £220m for the purchase of Man City.

3. The muscle behind the group comes from the Abu Dhabi Royal Family, who are worth at least £26billion! The frontman (guy in all the pictures) is Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, a major property developer in the United Arab Emirates.

4. At only 31, Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim is real emerging figure in the Emirates (as in Middle Eastern country not Arsenal's stadium). He came 77th in the Arab world power 100 list last year.

5. The new owners expectations are not high, they only aim to break into the top four this season, win the Premier League title next season, and the Champions League in three years time.

6. Before landing Brazilian star Robinho for £32.5m, the group also lodged a £32m bid for Samuel Eto'o of Barcelona and £32m for Klaas Jan Huntelaar of Ajax. Both bids only being turned down because it was too late for the respective clubs to sign replacements.

7. In their attempt to topple European football's established elite they plan to bid £135m for Cristiano Ronaldo in January!

8. Also on their Christmas/New Year wish list are Fernando Torres (Liverpool), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Kaka (AC Milan), and Dimitar Berbatov still (Man United).

9. A transfer pot of £250m has been earmarked for Mark Hughes to spend over the next three transfer windows, with a minimum of 18 players wanted.

10. Man City are now the richest club in the country bar none!
