United Thread - 2022/23

[remember arthur mann]

One thing I despise in this world are people who sell their soul's. Listening to Goldbridge for the last five minutes has been a total backflip. Working in harmony with the Qataris will be beneficial to both parties, money for the rag's, morality for the infidel.

A lot of tugging going on at Sly Sports News this evening.

No surprise, he’s a lifelong United supporter.(arf!)

’There will be a new stadium’.


"He is the chairman of one of the biggest banks in Qatar. QIB bank. He was also on the board of Credit Suisse, a big Swiss bank. I'm being told he's a lifelong Manchester United supporter and that the club will be owned - if he wins the right to buy Man Utd - through a foundation called the Nine Two Foundation, named after the Class of 92.

"His vision for the club, I'm being told, is an emphasis on youth and also on putting money and investment into both the men's team and women's team. He wants to redevelop Old Trafford. There will be a new stadium, a redevelopment of the whole area around Old Trafford, and crucially - and this is very important for Manchester United fans - this deal, if he buys the club, will be totally debt free.

Manchester United takeover: Qatari Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani makes 'substantial' bid for club

Fuck me, I thought you were kidding with the lifelong United fan shit.

Pure PR mouthpiece there.

Kaveh's left hand is mysteriously under the table - is he committing an act of gross misconduct in front of two female colleagues?

Ffs. He's a boyhood rag supporter.

I think it's the end of City being able to outbid Utd for any player. What will work in City's favour now will be the club philosophy, Pep, academy and training facilities and probably most importantly security and no leaking of information around transfer targets. It seems pretty good already so not too worried about that. I think Utd have realised that ffp is in the bin and all those charges will not keep City down. So they had to get some new owners. The glazers will rip the Saudi's off but neither party will be arsed.

Utd have realised? The Glazers are United. They have realised that the money is there to be had and they will be having it. They don’t give a fuck about utd the team.

Can’t wait now for ffp to be scrapped

I think we've all been touched by the average rag fans concern for human rights in the middle East over the last ten years or so. Qatar will be having to make real societal reforms for them to accept this bid - bravo rags.

I smell bullshit.

What does this mean for us then?

For the rags and media from the late great Bill Hicks!
