United Thread - 2022/23

Nobody in Dubai will go near United or Liverpool, gentleman agreements with Abu Dhabi.

Meta and Amazon can't and won't.

It will be Ratcliffe at similar monies to what he offered to do at Chelsea, or an American hedge fund daft enough to put Beckham and Tom Brady as the figureheads.

Ratcliffe wasn't offering Chelsea any more money for transfers than United have already splurged, and he wanted to spread it over years.

He knows he can build up the asset with infrastructure spending.

There's still Kuwait, Bahrain, and further afield Brunei - none of whicj have invested into Football AFAIK

Have any of those shown any interest in developing sports activities? Bahrain has / had a GP no? Anything else?

I'm sure Brunei has done some sports stuff, Kuwait less so.

But Saudi, didn't have a team till Newcastle, and Abu Dubai didn't till us...

No but they both had long-term strategies to develop a sports presence as a means of economic diversification. Not heard that for Bahrain or Kuwait. Not sure Brunei needs it.

I will beat around the bushes.

Yep, but will they pass the morality chart for both sets of rats?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Could it be the reason beckham has been sucking Qatari cock lately?

He would suck anybody's cock if it brought more attention to himself.

He's the equivalent of Trump

Brady will be short of cash when the courts have done with him. He is being sued for millions as he promoted a cryptocurrency without stating he was being paid. In the US this is actionable at the behest of investors who have lost money…….and they all have this week. Billions down the pan.

And that's before his divorce!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not according to the BBC. Saudi royal family have given the green light to both rags and dippers. Ha ha

The won't get anywhere near it. Saudi won't sanction someone from inside the same country to compete against Newcastle.

And that's before the Premier League and supporters of said clubs...

It was one thing boycotting Sharp, AON, Chevrolet etc over the years, but Apple would be problematic in our household, to say the least. Everyone's phones would have to get binned for a start. For this reason alone, it mustn't happen.

After the issues I have had with Ipods and phones, they can fuck off for me, and the cunts who are employed in their shops are as unhelpful as fuck . I think they must be recruited specially to be arrogant and dismissive of genuine complaints.

Quite right. I had a guy selling copiers come to me about 25 years ago, with gifts. They had Sharp on, straight in the bin.
He was still sat there and seemed a bit shocked.
rag.

It will be fun to watch the drama unfold though, irrespective of who does and doesn't bid. If they sell anyway.

If Ratcliffe buys them , I hope Ineos have a year of punchers and all the top riders piss off to other teams.
I'm getting the hate already Tolmie lad.

He didn't get where he is today by chucking his money away. He is one of the most hard nosed business men around. It will not be Christmas every transfer window if he buys the rags. He is one thing that the Glazers are not, ruthless.

But Apple would sell 1.1 billion phones over night. That’s how many United fans there are according to United and their media whores.
