Dr Sulaiman AlFahim, the man behind the Abu Dhabi United Group takeover of Manchester City, was revealed as the purchaser on the club's official Web site.
AlFahim was the initial figurehead of the Abu Dhabi United Group when they took control of Manchester City in the summer of 2008, although he is no longer involved at Eastlands.
United Arab Emirates businessman AlFahim was the initial figurehead of the Abu Dhabi United Group when they took control of Manchester City from Thaksin last year, but is now acting for himself.
