Has Patrick barclay called them morally bankrupt yet ?

 

[bluelol]

I suppose you have to feel delighted or sorry for someone who wants to put (The Manchester) back into Salford/Trafford, Eh?!!

A stinging attack on United.(not)



followed by.....



Delooney could wait to shoehorn City into the story. C*nt!

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Funny thing is the fans will be gutted if they sell to Jim Radcliffe now.

From Harrods to Lidl so to speak.

United fan logic for ya

“I remain anti-oil money, but am coming around to thinking that succumbing to it may be the only way for United to become a top team once again. When in Rome.”

He doesn’t realise that the Glazer family built their fortune from being Texas oil barons.

A lad i know asked me last week how we can enjoy our success knowing abu dhabis human
Rights record (this despite him going on hols to dubai).

Cant wait to hear hes sent his season ticket back in protest to having Qatari owners …..

You should have asked him how he felt about America's human rights record.

Current status of a poll on MUEN

They forgot the “Are you a massive hypocrite” question.

Like a lot of reds he just waffles on. Waffles on about how they “do it the right way” without actually knowing what he means

Was it Conn who penned the phrase “grinning beards”? Can’t wait to see that line used again when writing about this.

Richer than god also.

If we're state owned we've got nothing to worry about ;)

Have they touted we think we've got more money than you yet

Not sure they can.
As an individual SM is richer and Abu Dhabi Sovereign wealth fund has far more assets.

Our model is different to PSG though so the lines are blurred.

Just turned the television on.
rag muppet “no problem with this as it’s an individual……”
Turned the rugby on.
I think the phrase clear and obvious sums it up.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

I'd love them to use that narrative.

Ickle noisy neighbour City.

Me too…they will because they are obsessed with us

On the BBC Breakfast news this morning we had Kevin Maguire, football finace expert and a united supporter on the couch.

It was reassuring to hear the Qatar bid is definitely NOT sports washing and it will NOT be state owned.

Anyone ask where the money's coming from then?

I assume you mean Kieran Maguire.

To be fair that has been his view on City for some time. He has defended our business model

We have Pep. End of discussion.

United can't spend more than they did last summer which was £250m, based on turnover.

And it's not like United ever struggled spending money past decade, it was about where and how it was spent. New owners don't guarantee anything too different

 

[Aba452]

If tax avoiding rather grizzled ratty Jim triumphs over the qatari "individual" can we start calling him slippy Jim, in tribute to the not so great Jim Leighton?!?!?!
It's all about remembering their 'istreee

;-((

Yes it's Kieran I think.

It was mentioned that Sheik Jassim is chairman of Qatar biggest bank. So an individual with clean capital generated through financial transactions.

Certainly not state owned dirty Arab oil money was the implication.
