I'll console myself knowing that at 60 years of age, if I look after myself, the rags will still be shite till the day I die.

The guy doesn’t have that kind of money - it really will be (oil) state owned. Unfortunately the state concerned has money to burn & business sense is irrelevant - publicity is what they’re after

Naah. The MEN tells me he is only worth 1.2 billion, but his FAMILY is worth 275 billion. No problem :P

He is also now leading a consortium, apparently, can't imagine who the other investors are.

 

[Paul1970]

Damn!! Just as the rags were about to swoop in on Bellingham he signs for Real. Still, never mind, there's Kane(pen), Mbappe and Neymar all chomping at the bit to get to the swamp.

And then they are linked with robin koch from Leeds ha ha

Yeah, but 659 zillion fans can't be wrong...hahahaha.

And now it looks like they're botching the takeover. The Glazers couldn't have done a better job of fucking them up if they were on our payroll!

Who knows? Maybe they are and it’s all part of the Sheihk’s plan!

 

[horlock_was_super]

I reckon by 4pm the takeover might be done.
Don’t know which 4pm.

SCUM.

Happy Friday Blues. Finish today for two weeks.

Albufeira here we come, suitcase full of City shirts.

CTID.
As you were.

Me too at 70.. just as ever since 2008 (broadly speaking) I have been grateful to The Sheikh et al for the fact that we'll never get involved in another relegation scrap before I quit this mortal coil (..and frankly, that would have been sufficient contribution from The Sheikh anyway!)

There’s a young lad works in one of the Wetherspoons in town called ‘Kippax’

Poor bastard. Could be worse, he could be called Platt Lane.

Or 'Gene Kelly'....

Or Dog shit Alley....

I was thinking about that this week (60 too), they will hopefully be the second team in Greater Manchester until I pop off.

I thought buying a house took ages, seems buying the rags takes just as long.

They're buying it off plan. Then they've got to rebuild it. But the club itself have put the building restrictions in place.
All too funny.
Also selling to someone who clearly doesn't have the funds in place.

If only there was a term the collective media concocted for such a thing.

Rat infestation

73k of them

I love the dawning of reality when you highlight how much this guy from Qatar is worth to any rags crowing about new owners. They have pound shop Pep picking the team, soon they could have pound shop shield running the entire club.

He is just a front man for a yank hedge fund buyout for me

Yup, meet your new owners. Probably the same as your old owners attaching vast sums of debt to the club.

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Saw my red in law yesterday.
No congratulations, welcome to the club etc..

First thing he said was "Pep will leave now and you'll be fucked.."
And..
"I can see Haaland going Madrid now..."

Told him "the bald fraud will haunt you for the length of his contract at least.
And why would he and Erling go anywhere else? We are the best team in the land and all the world".
Nothing more to say so he changed the subject to golf.
