United Thread - 2022/23

[Cricket Blue]

Football in this country is about to go astronomical. Multiple Middle East owners, Multiple American owners, a possible independent adjudicator (and a league fighting that), dodgy investigations. The list is endless, in fact it is insane. How all this will develop I have no idea but it is fascinating and whilst we are in the middle of it the rest of the sporting world can only look on in wonderment.

Not when we have the prem and VAR
We will get treated worse tha what we do now

Michael Knighton has come back with a late bid of £2-00 , yes , double what he offered in 1989

 

[CC1]

So will the politics of it win the day...?

Glazers don’t give a damn about the effects of the sale. They’ll take the highest bid

 

[Keith Moon]

Wonder if the son of an Al-Qaeda sponsor will pass the fit n proper test.

It is going to be one hell of a ride and Manchester will be at the centre of it. Much as I don't want to see a revival of the rags I think more external investment will be great for this area. Competition between owners from Qatari and Abu Dhabi will not be boring. Bring it on. Global demand for football is growing rapidly and I have no problem with North West England diverting cash away from the bloated South of England.

Hypocrite cunts

 

[pride in battle]

HELP !!!
So in brief terms what are the main human rights violations that Qatar have imposed ?
(Just to put a rag back in his box).

 

[Vienna_70]

I hate the scum with a vengeance but he seems okay……give him time before he morphs into a typical rag twat….

He’s already started; moaning about the referee last night.

Possibly ensured Utds spot in the top 4 for the near future

 

[aminegriffy1]

Glazers are saying if no one meet their asking price then they won't sell. The meltdown is going to be huge if that happens.

 

[cheekybids]

So this is why ratboy went to the world cup, last year

With Beckham & nauseating the bid is from 9:2

Ewww class of 92

 

[cheekybids]

Remember when the BBC acted like they were in Nazi Germany when the World Cup started? Even refused to show the opening ceremony. Can’t wait to see Dan Roan’s reaction.

This should never be forgotten……


“Forget what?”

United fan logic for ya

“I remain anti-oil money, but am coming around to thinking that succumbing to it may be the only way for United to become a top team once again. When in Rome.”

Fucking weird how everyone's anti oil, without it their lives would be a million times worse.

And that’s exactly how they’ll all view it. Pointless saying anything to them about it

Yup, the hypocrisy will be on full display.

 

[slick]

It looks like bollocks to me, the media haven't a clue.
The headlines now are just the same as the ones this morning, they've just changed the words 'will be Submitting' to submitted, Regarding prospective buyers.

 

[deegee33]

I genuinely don't give a monkeys who takes them over, plus points either way, Ratcliffe will sink them if they go that way and if they take the oil money at least that's one other team that might shut the fuck up about our clubs owners for a while, I can't wait to just get back to watching football and not giving a shiny shit who 'owns' the bloody clubs, it's all fans seem to want to talk about nowadays and it's taken a shit load of the enjoyment of the game away for me personally.

Triple like !!!!

 

[halfcenturyup]

The only tactical masterstroke I've seen Ten Hag produce so far is abandoning his philosophy of playing attractive, expansive, possession based football after the first 2 humiliations this season and instead resorting to the Mourinho and Solskjaer tactics of park the bus and hoof it up to the fast lads upfront.

Well, I can't criticise him for that, seeing as that was what I said he should do (and he was stupid for not doing it) in the first few games. Ten Hag will be good for them long-term. Five or six new signings in his image and they will be playing nice football and challenging, imo.

 

[ilrm]

If I was the United owner I'd be fuming at the insulting way the press release has been worded. Almost looks like they've taken a swipe at the existing owners with their whole "restore to former glories" and "once again place fans at the heart" statements.

Regardless of what you think of the existing owners and the price you pay, as a buyer its your job to maintain the seller's respect in public. This kind of arrogance makes me think the new owners might run United like the way PSG are run - unbalanced, bloated squad on high wages that can't consistently compete with the best (UCL).
