[Centurions]

A quality paper for lighting a wood stove

Doesn't it put out an awful stink or is that just the impression it would give?

Just for a second forget the comedic double standards of oil rich Arabic countries with debatable human rights buying United. I keep reading after this they will have hundreds of millions for transfers? Why? Where is this transfer money coming from or are United allowed free reign over FFP and can spend the owners money direct?

See Chelsea for the answer to your question

They are setting the narrative very clearly he’s a banker and They won’t be state owned. It’s so funny watching them all literally rewrite their narrative they’ve been rolling out for us over the last 15 years overnight.

They've also tried to 'Westernize' him as much as they can. I mean, does this look like a Middle Eastern man? No, so nothing to worry about!


I'm not even sure it's the right person, but they don't want to lose support for the bid now do they...

Models his journalism style on Jimmy Liddel.

More like Jimmy Riddle.

Are you remotely surprised?

Not in the slightest, we all knew it would be spun like this. It’s just funny seeing it actually happen.

Don’t worry, it’ll shift back soon enough if Jim Ratcliffe’s bid is successful.

Yes, I mentioned that to the wife last night, I've not seen them print a picture yet of him in full Arab dress. I am presuming there's plenty out there.

I suspect he is just leading a consortium, no? His father is only worth 1.3 billion, so where is he getting the funds to buy United for 5-6-7 billion? A life time of banking? I can guess, but the owners test may be interesting ......

Edit: I hope he isn't using disguised equity funding to finance this. You know how the PL doesn't like that sort of thing.

Not really.

He looks like a right banker
