Not really.

Owners Test

Q; who is the bestest player ever
A; Giggsy

Correct, you have passed the owners test.

I just get the idea that, with the IR just around the corner, the PL needs to be squeaky clean and if this guy is just a front for, shall we say, other Qataris, then that could be a problem.

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?

UEFA created a loophole a couple of years back allowing new owners to splash the cash. Coincidentally just when some if the Italian G14 clubs were being taken over…

Yet another life long United fan. Bwaaa haaa haa.
So very tiresome.

Well he’s not from Manchester, never been to Manchester and that’s usually enough

Where have you plucked that from!?!

Reads like an extract that ended up on the cutting floor of Drop the dead donkey............

 

[bluetonium]

Ah the good old class of '92. I look forward to the 'where are they now?' show, filmed on location at strangeways, not valencia, sheikh jassim's asscrack and little piggy's happy house of toe love.

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

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...

That’s an interesting last point.

“He wants to make united the best football club in the World”

Just who does he think is the current best is then?

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fucking bbc news, united this, united that. FANBOY CUNTS. Pretty much straight from united this and that to Arteta moaning, some things are very predictable

**** is still on about the brilliant Qatar bid, no human rights worries here

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

IF a Kenyan billionaire tables a bid, what happens to the zebra pants!

Or the owners of Knowsley Safari Park.............

Luckurst is a massive racist. There are entire threads on Twitter and even the red caf about him. So the brass necked audacity of hurling that accusation at City fans is pathetic
And guess what? That highlighted paragraph was added in later after he and the MUEN took even more flak for the original


I mean, just a cursory look at his past output is filled with dog whistle hate

Maybe mate. But if he is a front for a sovereign wealth fund, so what? There isn't anything in owner fitness rules to preclude that is there?

I was thinking more the same owners as PSG, but disguised.

 

[whipper]

Any mention of sportswashing from that WhatsApp group yet?

Beautiful takedown.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I've been thinking the same. Al-Thani is being described as a banker "with links to the Qatari royal family" without mentioning that the Al-Thani family are the rulers of Qatar. So a bit more than "links".

We''ll never see Sheikh Mansour described as "a private investor with links to the Abu Dhabi royal family". City will continue to be state owned by a human rights abusing regime and having unlimited funds with which no other club can compete. .

He was described as having a net worth of £1.5bn. So how's he going to pay £4bn for united, clear their debt, build a new stadium, and still have change from that money?

 

[Damanino]

best was on some of Delooney and Pariq Tanja tweets the comments.

some United fans asking them recently on some qatar / united tweets "how come you never had any issue with City and UAE"
:)))))

they spending 24 hour a day, 365 day a year spouting shit about City and our owners. and they have to defend themselves to glory united fans" please look at my timeline, all I was doing is attacking City,, and I did this as a shill for redtops"

 

[Brooklands Blue]

Similar to the dippers never ending use of the Coutinho transfer funds!

That, young man, was the very question I was asking. You have sourced that 1.5 billion? As far as I can make out, that is his father.
