Yeah we get it. Unless we're owned by the local butcher, who was born and raised in Salford and has never set foot on a train, let alone left the country, and unless we have to struggle our way to victory on a shoestring budget, every trophy will have an asterisk next to it and feel hollow

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

5B is easily smashing the world record fee for any sports franchise worldwide in history though
Unless the Dallas cowboys gets sold.
it was a soft deadline mate, show us your 6b
I'd call £5bn "top dollar"
They were all expecting a bid of £3.5b, now suddenly £5b doesn't count as "top dolla"?
Yeah, these ‘cheat-code’ posts got boring ages ago.
If they refuse to sell after this, there will be riots.
Perhaps if you'd taken your own advice and not been one of those lazy fecks, you'd have realized why it's a recurring theme.
We need off the field investment in infrastructure. Let the commercial team what they are doing and don’t interfere in squad progression that we have seen this year. No debt is added bonus. Our new owners really dont need insane amount of state backed funds
I agree. Can’t stand him. Never any insight, never any exclusive but talks like everyone dials him up to reveal everything before they even entertain the thought of doing anything.
You forgot how he must look at the stars and think of Munich every time. And have The Trinity tattooed across his chest.
The article doesn't say what the headline says and everything we've been told about this process via every outlet that has reported on it has been clear that there is an extended second phase to this process. The bidders haven't even had access to United's full financial details yet.
When will Glazers declare Qatar as bid winner?
Secret agent Sir Jim just acting as a dummy bidder/decoy to tease out the real bidders
Formulating a $6bn bid for April.
Never happening ever, the Jones family are tied to that franchise through and through
April who?
They are being careful in presenting this deal as private investment. Abu dhabi deal for Mancity and PSG deal by QSI were mentioned directly as State investment if i remember correctly
Qatar are a disgraceful state for human rights. Look at the slave Labour for the World Cup.
Very different not wanting that to only allowing a local fecking butcher from Salford.
Can't believe we've already got some fans lining up to sell their souls. Even if they do take us over, we can criticise them. Unlike City, our club will be bigger than the owners.
I'd happily buy them a pint, love those guys.
If you had been following the thread you will realise what the cheat code idea will apply to United.
Genuinely curious about this narrative when for years it’s been feck the club this and feck this club that about anything from transfers to dividends to on field performance and manager hiring and firing.
Glazer and Woodward are no more Manchester United than Al Thani and Qatar would be and vice versa but now it suits we are suddenly to turn a blind eye to the owners.
You all sound like FIFA begging the world to ‘ concentrate on the football’ because it’s less uncomfortable and inconvenient than having a conscience and discussing the issues rationally.
I don't get this thinking. There are lots of legit ethical reasons to not want this but if they bought us we wouldn't be cheating.
We would finally be able to use our own resources to compete - we make loads of money its just been siphoned off. We have been conditioned to poor owners, even before the glazers the owners didn't spend freely.
It's like we have been a boxing with one hand behind our back. If you free us from debt we would finally be able to spend what we always should have been able to.
These are the guys responsible for the human rights violations in building the world cup. All is forgiven, as sportswashing is alive and well in the city of Manchester.
If that 5bn is correct I'd be really surprised if the Glazers didn't sell.
Ratcliffe just after realising it was Billion and not Million
Where are your facts...sources? Educate me.
Exactly unless this qatari bid is substantially bigger than anyone else?
Jesus you're a drama queen.
It's a feckin scandal
