Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
He left early? Big whoop! Wanna fight about it?
Hardly says anything about what his ownership of the club would be like. At least he showed up - unlike the current owners
Not wanting to get caught in a traffic jam is the context?Which, again, doesn't make it true, nor give it context.
You might be the most defensive person on the internet. Are you going to go support Nice if Qatar buy us and cheer on your man?He left early? Big whoop! Wanna fight about it?

Yes, but we’re on day 8 of the “7-10 days” we were told to expect an outcomeTo be fair we are currently in May
Does he play for them too?You might be the most defensive person on the internet. Are you going to go support Nice if Qatar buy us and cheer on your man?

It's from a Nice fan.
It is true, so it is indeed relevant.I know it is.
It's possibly not true and entirely irrelevant if it is.
It’s not relevant. It fecking pathetic. Anything to try and discredit him or cast him in a poor light.It is true, so it is indeed relevant.

Not a random Nice fan. He is very reliable for news regarding the club.How do you know it's true?
Because one random Nice fan said so?
And it being true wouldn't make it relevant unless you think Nice is comparable to Man Utd as a club.

So is your almost parody-worthy defense of Ratcliffe, no matter what is said you jump out and instantly dismiss everything like a good little lap dog. It's a bit bizarre.It’s not relevant. It fecking pathetic.
Nah, the Qataris will maybe bid for another team but they’ll find another faceless stooge - Jassim will never be heard of again.Think you can put a fork in Jassim, he's done out here. He'll be rocking up with a bid for Liverpool within a month, telling them all how he's a lifelong supporter.
If you were able to read adequately you would quite clearly have seen it was @JPRouve that commented on his reliabilityYou're the last person to comment on reliability of a source, to be fair. You'll accept anything that tells you what you want to hear.
Ratcliffe keeping the Glazers around as shareholders was the trump card. Whilst they’ve clearly never taken pride in how they run the club, I’ve always suspected they wouldn’t want Jassim to come in and effectively do a City, either. It would only further highlight how truly awful they have been as owners.If Jassim was the highest bidder then we'd know about it now, because he wanted a simple 100% takeover. The fact there's been feck all to even hint he's getting the club, and apparently never even heard back from anybody, says it all.

We all know you prefer him, no need to write your posts in his blood every time he gets brought up as some sort of twisted oath to the grave
So the British mainstream media, who are no doubt working tirelessly to get the scoop on this, have no idea what's actually going on and are completely guessing but you've figured it out have you?If Jassim was the highest bidder then we'd know about it now, because he wanted a simple 100% takeover.

It's true though. Anything remotely critical about Jassim is immediately painted as xenophobic or downright racist.It’s not relevant. It fecking pathetic. Anything to try and discredit him or cast him in a poor light.
Jassim hasn’t had to put up with this kind of treatment, mostly because he’s not man enough to front up in public and own his bid - choosing ‘representatives’ that can’t even say how old he is.
Call me crazy but I prefer to base my opinions on what people have done rather than what they might doEven if we pretend for a second that it's definitely true, I don't see how it's relevant unless you want to see it as evidence that he wouldn't be committed as an owner of Utd. Given the huge gulf between the two clubs and the fact that Ratcliffe is an actual Utd fan, It would be a silly conclusion to draw.
What thread have you been seeing this in? I must be missing this entirely.It's true though. Anything remotely critical about Jassim is immediately painted as xenophobic or downright racist.
Exactly. I have no issue with people taking sides, but let’s keep the debate equal. This kind of crap is downright childish.It's true though. Anything remotely critical about Jassim is immediately painted as xenophobic or downright racist.

Is it? What if he had a meeting with Raine Group to get to? What if he had some other business thing to get to? What if he had a family or other personal committment to get to? The guy is CEO of a massive company, and a Nice game (which he has no direct impact on at that moment) probably isn't his highest priority. I wouldn't expect most United games to be his highest priority to watch live either.Not wanting to get caught in a traffic jam is the context?
Why is an owner that is committed to the club and watches the full match a 'pantomime'?I don’t care if the owner comes to games or not. It has no bearing on how well they run the club or if they are commited to the club or not.
If you want that kind of pantomime go support Wrexham, Reynolds is at every game!
Depends on how badly the other four want out, as a block they have enough power to topple their brothers from their executive positions and the board with help from shareholders on the NYSE or just threaten to.Something does prevent the other 4 from selling. It's been suggested there's a condition for unanimous agreement (or perhaps a certain percentage) between the family to transfer Class B shares to a third party. The rest of the time they can sell on the stock market as they see fit, but then the shares become Class A, and obviously sell for less than a private investor would pay. This is most likely done to prevent siblings from betraying one another and suddenly bringing other parties into the boardroom. I don't know what's their situation in the family, but I'd call this a sound approach when billions are involved. So as it stands the other 4 can sell to Qatar or Ratcliffe, but they'd be getting Class A shares. Obviously not going to happen. If Joel and Avram don't budge, it's not entirely unreasonable to think Qatar or Ratcliffe might walk away eventually. They can't just deal with the other 4 alone if they want a majority stake.
So what exactly has Jassim ‘done’ that makes you so confident then?Call me crazy but I prefer to base my opinions on what people have done rather than what they might do
If you were able to read adequately you would quite clearly have seen it was @JPRouve that commented on his reliability
Anything else?
Ratcliffe is as much of a United fan as @HarryPI suspect he's not.
Who brought Jassim up?So what exactly has Jassim ‘done’ that makes you so confident then?
No worries mate, of course, thanks for the insight.I mentioned Nice-Matin because people seem to think that it could come from a dodgy source but it's not. I don't care much about the topic but the source is more reliable than nearly anything that has been posted on this thread. This is beyond this thread but if you want any reliable information about Monaco or Nice it will likely come from either Nice-Matin or Monaco-Matin.
I suspect he's not.
Oh look, another classic Berbaclass deflection. Possibly the only thing more inane than the Twitter crap you share here. You never answer a straight question with a straight answer. It’s pointless debating with you, but one more try.Who brought Jassim up?
I'm not playing this juvenile game sorry.Oh look, another classic Berbaclass deflection. Possibly the only thing more inane than the Twitter crap you share here. You never answer a straight question with a straight answer. It’s pointless debating with you, but one more try.
He is your preferred choice of next United owner. This is your opinion, which obviously you are entitled to and which I respect, but you stated you base your opinions on what people have done and not what they say they will do in the future. So what has Jassim done?
