The people who see Taher paying 40 (forty) million euro for Rapid FC and don’t know him say the members of the club have received a gift from God

The people who see Taher paying 40 (forty) million euro for Rapid FC and don’t know him say the members of the club have received a gift from God. However, the people who know Taher, and they are a lot, know that the strategic investor has never paid a penny for anything. All his promises are connected to the sale, because, when it comes to buying, his favorite method is buying for free. Actually, in order to be convinced he made a great deal and to sleep well at night, the seller should also pay him. This is what brings a lot of laughter in Romania when one hears Taher is a shareholder at the Grivita workshops. This is how Copos got to ironically call Taher and “industrialist”. If Romania has industrialists like Taher, we will remain a developing agricultural country for a hundred more years. However, we cannot take out of this statement the person who is the greatest supporter of Rapid Bucharest. As you all probably guessed, he is Copos. Gheorghe Copos. He was surprised to find a buyer for the club that he wanted to sell in the same way in which the peasants sell their cows at the fair. The problem is that he joined the sell-buy game of Taher and he doesn’t know how to get out of the situation. Especially because, now, one of them will have to be the thief and the other one will be the fool. Therefore, they will have this dilemma: thief or fool? We’ll see how they will do it, but I don’t believe we will see a meeting between the greatest two closed fists in the country: the fist of Copos and the fist of Taher. Where are you, Tiriac?
