Yes, he does and even if he didn't, I'd rather keep struggling than have all the shiny new things bought by blood money.

When you see the last couple of away performances,makes me want to spend a fortune on the squad and so be it if the money is coming from Qatari state.

The only way I see this squad bouncing back now is if the Glazers through the Raine group say they’ve given a periodic of exclusivity to Sheikh Jasim and he will take over at beginning of June.

This will scare the players to death, because then they know that SJ has the deep pockets to get rid of who ever they want, and there are a lot of players here who would be playing for their places in the next 5 games, other than even with SJR taking charge we bottle it, get thrashed in Cup Final, small point moving Luke Shaw to CB where’s he’s fantastic completely takes away our left dominance with him Eriksen and Rashford, I’d bring back Maguire in next game move shaw back to left back, we need goals and we need goals quickly, 3 goals in last 4 Premier League games is shocking, he needs to drop Antony and get Garnaucho on the left Bruno ok right and Rashford central, I hate saying this but right now we need a fit Mctominay back to give us some drive in Midfield.

Yeah the thoughts of how he could ruthlessly cut the deadwood out might scare this rabble into performing better
 
They have caused this slide with all the uncertainty

Loser mentality comes from the top. If SJR is successful in his bid it will carry on. The leeches taking their time on selling is massively damaging to the whole atmosphere at the club

Yeah this season is starting to unravel and if we aren't careful this off field saga will totally derail our top 4 hopes before Chelsea game
 
Chairman Steve said:
I still believe the Glazers’ biggest mistake on their tenure to date was entrusting Ed Woodward to run the club. He was Ridsdale level of bad. It’s not a coincidence that we start to look better run when he left, but we still have to deal with his mess such as grossly overpaid players who should not be on that much and players who haven’t been good enough for a while that he gave ridiculous contract extensions too.

This. It's hard to believe, but there was that period of a few years (I think 2014-2018 or thereabouts) when we had a massive financial advantage over the rest of the league and could even outspend City. And that wanker squandered it completely and left us in this situation.
 
I don’t think INEOS will have a problem financing the first team. It’s the stuff beyond that which is the ambiguity, namely stadium and training ground. Old Trafford needs a face lift and Carrington is far behind other places as a training ground. They may have been the shit in 2003 but it’s 2023.

I doubt it. It’s just mental and physical fatigue. They have played a butt tonne of games this season, and a World Cup most of them and they are shot. That’s on the back of Covid season running over, euros the summer after and very little rest in between.

Exactly that, SJR would also be ruthless his comments about Fred have aged well but Qatar wow, they would list the
squad in the following way ;

Must Be Released or Sold instantly (14);
D De Gea, H Maguire, Fred, E Bailey, D Henderson, A Teles, B Williams , E Bailey, Weghorst, A Martial, A Elanga, M Sabitzer , P Jones, DVB

Must be Sold or Released within 6-12 months (7) ; V Lindelof, AWB, S Mctominay, M Greenwood (Don’t be surprised if he ends up PSG if they buy the club on loan or sold) E Laird, T Malacia (he’ll be upgraded in January window), J Sancho or Antony one will go who ever can’t produce the stats that the new DOF will demand and the manager will be massively reigned in on transfers, he will be told to coach the players the club buys and if he can’t he’ll be dismissed.

Players who they will keep but will be told they are part of a 26/27 man squad and not guaranteed to start (15) ;

T Heaton(Back up keeper/HG), M Kovar, D Dalot, L Shaw, R Varane, L Martinez, Casemeiro, Bruno, Ericsen, Rashford(HG), Sancho or Antony, A Dialo, Garnaucho (HG), K Maino (HG), A Fernandez(HG), H Mejbri (HG)


Which means they will want a significant overhaul of probably 11/12 players from a list of 25/30 over two/three windows ;

GK - Mike Maignan, D Raya,
RB - J Frimpong, D DumFries, Hakimi,
LB - A Davies,
DM - D Rice, Caciedo, E Camavinga ,
CM - Enzo Le Fey, FDJ,
AM - M Kudas, J Maddison, M Mount, Neymar
CF- H Kane, V Osimhen, G Ramos, K Muani,
Second striker - R Hojlund, E Ferguson
Right striker - O Dembele, A Fati, L Sane
Left Striker - R Leao, S Maine,

I seriously think they have a list already which is probably even bigger than this and they want to do 6 or 7 transfers in the summer and 5 or 6 in the winter, but the Glazers are holding up everything.

they've already given up because they don't know their future at the club and likewise i think even the manager has half given up.
the season went south as soon as the glazers announced their intention to sell.

Why would that be silly? Reading on here tonight you’d believe that the manager was perfect but he needs 5-10 new signings as the ones he has are shit.

It’s not football manager when you got a state to back you, they won’t tolerate half what the Glazers have or do you disagree ?
Click to expand...
I completely disagree. Whoever buys the club we won’t see more than 3/4 players in.
Nor should we - we don’t need to be unsettling the squad the way Chelsea have. Building gradually is the best way.
Maybe a few more outs, if we can find buyers. It’s not going to be easy.

fantasy football manager right there. Would be amazing if this happened but it’s wishful thinking
 
Seems the inmates have took over the asylum in this thread.

We've got people saying SJR will only be able to target free transfers, with others saying it's a valid concern :lol: :wenger:

Then I scroll down and we've got somebody else predicting the team Jassim will buy, and it features no existing players and is worth probably close to £2b :wenger::wenger:
 
DOTA said:
It is.
It's too fast to provide decent results and I imagine it would see us fecked on FFP.

With two teams PSG and United , oppos Make that 3 Braga they will be moving players around like a merry go round !

It really isn’t with Qatar, they’ve already infiltrated Uefa and have cerefin talking about multi club ownership, will it happen who knows, we still don’t know whether the club is being sold but if they get their hands on united, fans think they can and will only spend £100m this summer is hysterical.

Worth remembering that Newcastle have mega rich owners but Howe talks about FFP

no for sure they will spend big but by the looks of things SJR is in the lead…
 
By the way anyone who still fancies SJR and INEOS are in for many, many more days like today.
