Oh give over. One cartoonists piece doesn't make the Guardian a "despicable racist rag". It's a miracle some of the wimps on here make it through the day.

Sounds great.
Entitled.
That's the point! Precedent has been set so why can Utd now not take advantage? Do you ever hear pundits bring up oil money when referring to City winning a possible 5 out of 6 PL titles? Anybody bring up oil money when giving Haaland his props for breaking the PL goal scoring record in his first season?
Will anybody bring up oil money if City win the treble this year?
I don't think much, if anything will be made of it.
Clocks ticking @Berbaclass
Because the debt is only there because of the way the Glazers were allowed to buy the club and never pay it off. Unlike City and PSG, United make enough real revenue to compete without being bank-rolled by a sugar daddy
It is on our books regardless.
You could delete "being bailed out of the debt" from that sentence and it would be a more compelling point.
Big day yesterday.
You asked the question? That’s the difference in debts, it isn’t our debt and shouldn’t be ours to bear.
According to the media timeline, Raine and the Glazers should be picking a preferred bidder any time from Tomorrow (the one week point) to Tuesday (the 10 day point)
So they'll probably announce another round of bidding in 2 weeks time. Deadline for the bids will be the end of June. Glazers will then spend July considering the bids. Then the 5th round, which will be the midway point of bidding rounds.
So a sheikh has to bear it?
That’s up to them.
Be worried if it wasn’t
In truth, it shouldn't all be up to ETH either, there should be some middle ground. Giving all the power to the manager isn't always for the best. But this isn't really the thread for that discussion.
The ultimate moral victory, relegation
What's the deal here?
Presumably he says something will happen by a certain time, like we get on all United sagas.. But what's the prediction and how long does he have?
And what happens when he's wrong?
To be fair wouldnt the Qatar owners have people assessing what’s needed in case of them winning? So it would be those same people making the decisions anyway
Who are you speaking on behalf of?
Oh, this is ironic. You answer your own question in this but fail to make the distinction and claim superior intelligence? What a joke.
But since you're struggling, I'll help out.
We need bailing out of trouble caused by awful ownership. We're not getting overinflated revenues to invest in players above our means and stature as a football club, rather the exact opposite.
City didn't have debt. They went from 0 to 100. What Qatar money will do for us is take us from -100 to 0, 10 at most.
If this is not enough, I don't even know what to say.
Qatar's got this wrapped up and it will be more or less confirmed at 11pm UK time according to @Berbaclass
Christ
Thanks. Why would you put yourself in to this position @Berbaclass
You know United drag things out to the absolute maximum
I'd give you points if there's so much as a reasonably reliable rumour that the Qatari's have tweaked their offer
The club.
He's just messing around, the source was absolute garbage.
Well the debt definitely belongs to the club.
So, you mean that we're being helped to reach 010 from -100 as opposed to 0-100 which happened with the other 2 and Chelsea (or was it 10-100 for them)?
What I get from your response is that only the point at which the respective clubs were standing at the time of the takeover is different.
In never said it wasn’t. It shouldn’t be ours but it is.
Is this breaking news?
Well, yes exactly. It comes back to the point of fairness and perceived injustice United fans perceive at the moment.
We were a huge club and should be at the table of the Real Madrids, Barcelonas and Bayerns. Instead, we're worrying about fecking Brighton while Man City are running away with the league.
At worst, the roles should be reversed if perceived fairness (obviously subjective but what isn't) is there. Qatar would restore balance to the status of United relative to its peers (or Man City at least).
It's disgusting it's come to this but it's not the fans' fault, it's the PL. You play the game based on the rules and they're rigged, so need our own cheat code. Or rather we need something to stop City's cheating be so overpowering.
Minds are made up, no amount of explanation is going to help.
Its different because City PSG and Newcastle could never in a million years achieve anything without the oil money. We on the other hand could and can so its not the same. But we want the debt cleared and and our income reinvested into the club not into someone's pocket. And I would rather they buy us than watch them buy Liverpool and turn them into another City with us turning into Spurs and never winning the league again.
Breaking news to you, evidently.
You literally said "it isn't our debt" in the post I was responding to.
It’s not our debt, it’s the Galzers debt thrown on our club
All I was doing was answering why it’s different than Newcastle and Citys debt, isn’t that the difference or am involved in some pedantic fever dream here?
There’s definitely a meme here. A clown calling others clowns.
Read the fecking context buddy.
Has the UK registered a bid to buy United? Because I would absolutely be against that, as well.
