Virtue signaling reddit westerners is =/= the real world. They said the same shite how they going to boycott the world cup and everyone tuned it and watched it. I remember threads having over 38k comments in the big games. The soccer thread is full of open racism takes saying that Qatar is colonizing the UK. As soon as they see Harry Kane in a United shirt they will forget about everything and start praising them because those so called moral social justice warriors are full of hypocrisy.

I can't help but to feel jealous that you guys might finally get owners who will take the club forward and win you trophies, unlike us Liverpool who are likely going to be stuck with Yanks who will bleed the club dry and make Liverpool stay a mid table club for the foreseeable future. I'm seriously thinking about giving up on football all together and just sticking with Formula one, I supported the club for over 20 years so It's time to have a long break.

Just seen that Goldbridge has had a poll on his station about who the Rags would rather buy the club, Qatar or Ratcliffe.

83% want Qatar.

So all this talk about the morals of owners etc goes right out of the window when dirty oil money comes knocking.

Man United can't afford to be fussy as Qatar make their move

IAN LADYMAN: Back in 2005, United's fanbase were rightly suspicious of the Glazers family's motives, but now United cannot be so fussy as the dash for cash has become of paramount importance.

Some key points from the article:

But what are United and its supporters supposed to do? Take a moral stance that nobody on the blue half of Manchester ever did? That nobody in Newcastle has taken? That nobody in Chelsea ever did even though we all knew where Abramovich’s money was really coming from?

United need money. They need to be rid of the dead weight on the shoulders that has been the Glazers for so long. If that cash ends up coming from Qatar, United will merely find themselves part of an ever-expanding cartel. It all feels a bit grim but it has done for so long now. The Premier League is no longer an English football competition. It is an elite football competition that happens to be played in England. Much of the values we once held, we have allowed to slip away. United were standard bearers on and off the field for a long time but that standing has been worn away by land grabs made by their rivals on the back of billions of pounds of foreign money.

This is where we are. This is what we have become. If Qatar offers United a way out the Glazer stranglehold, it’s hard to imagine many of their supporters lying awake at night worrying about the rights or wrongs of it.

This is just embarrassing.
 
It's not racist to point out that Qatar does have a big influence on football here, same as the Yanks (and the Russians until the war in Ukraine happened).

I really doubt Goldbridge's viewers are in anyway a representation of match going or local rags.
