I feel sorry for those types. Imagine the life they must lead? Thoughts and prayers.
I don't think I've ever been on the CAF and this thread so much in my life today. You do realise this is the source of all great news.... well sometimes.
Anyway for what it's worth, everything has been so quiet regarding the main bidders. This to me is going through the final legalities of paperwork.
Anyone who has bought a house knows this. Just when you think it's done or not done you are left in limbo and screaming for news....even when the money is being transfered. The day of exchange is the worst. Nothing until the last moment. So for me every 5pm Friday will be the news we so wish to hear.

The irony is they post multiple things most of which are nonsense at the time but then come back to quote the ones which ended up being true while quietly letting the incorrect posts disappear into their history.
The ultra reliable Berbaclass is saying that Darcie Glazer has found out she's adopted from an unnamed source, known only as AvyG.
Interestingly Whitwell acknowledged this on the last podcast. He says the Athletic has taken a ‘calmer view’ and ‘a bit of a pause on it’ because of all the claim and counter claim going round, they want to be assured of what they write. He says they are still talking to people but are holding back to corroborate sources.
Whether you think that’s good journalistic due diligence or just BS to cover their arse because they’ve had their pants pulled down by rival publications is up to the individual.
Both Qatar and INEOS are saying that they are confident. Of course they are. Do you expect them to say that they are set to be out bided? Come on guys some common sense please!
Let's be clear, there are no breaking moments in this thread. Maybe there's a little for a junkie here and there, but there is nothing to report right now. Just because a journalist hasn't told you what you want to hear doesn't make them a bad journalist. The paranoia, causal use of of the term 'racism' and ridiculous disrespect of journalist in this thread is the stuff of Trump supporters. Andy Mitten has done more for Manchester United fan culture than most, he's been behind one of the best fanzines since I was a kid and representing our voice in media for years. He deserves some respect.
Fake News!
(Uuge. Gchyna.)Absolutely. Well said.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't for wrapping up the deal. This wait is to see who is in the next stage of exclusivity to discuss wrapping up a takeover.
Exclusivity period may not be necessary.
I could have done it a few times if I knew anything about football. This is just my weekly "stepping out of the Gen forum for a bit" like a house cat going out the back for a quick shit in the hyacinths before bolting inside to hide under the sofa for another six days.
Darcie can put me in my place any day
The best glazerDarcie can put me in my place any day
That's Malcolm now, tbf
On that latest United podcast he was talking about how someone at the club told him three days prior that Sir Alex would be announcing his retirement. He could've blurted that one out at the time but didn't (although he apparently did leak it to his mum).
Seems bizarre that anyone would have a go at journos for The Athletic. I'd listen to them before anyone else to be fair. They also write proper articles, not just the clickbait shite that even the BBC have started to do.
No such thing, but I’ll allow ‘least shit Glazer’.
Not on the business side though. This isn’t their stage and it shows, they’re been slow in the uptake every step so far.
Weren’t they the crowd that kept pushing minority investment during this entire process?
Credit where it’s due, without Malcolm we wouldn’t be about to get taken over by Qatar. Perspective.
Is that an emoji of one of Sheikh Jassim's slaves? Wow, redcafe is way ahead of the times.
Anyway, back on topic - Darcie, I would.
Sir Alex knew what he was doing. It was never about the horse….
When, exactly?
Damn. I was hoping he was AI App, maybe chatGPT
Beat me to it.AI is really impressive these days. I always wondered what ChatGPT looked like
Oh, for sure. I just meant in general I'm surprised when people have a go at them because they clearly have decent contacts at the club.
Sorry, but this. Are you Andy Graying their performance as journalists?
Darcie can put me in my place any day
So you all want to jump into bed with the Glazer but it’s not cool when Sir Jim does it?!
Pretty hypocritical if you ask me
No flies on me
Manchester United is one of the most successful football clubs in history. The club has won numerous domestic and international titles, and has a massive global following. However, in recent years, Manchester United has struggled on the field and off. The club has gone through a series of owners who have failed to bring back the glory days. It is in this context that the idea of Elon Musk, the visionary entrepreneur, owning Manchester United has gained traction. In this essay, we will argue that Elon Musk would be the best owner of Manchester United, and contrast how his visionary business acumen would make him a far better owner than Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe.
Elon Musk is a world-renowned entrepreneur who has founded several companies, including SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. He has a reputation for being a visionary who thinks big and is not afraid to take risks. Musk's companies are at the forefront of technological innovation, and he has a track record of disrupting industries. His ability to think outside the box, his willingness to take bold steps, and his focus on innovation make him the ideal owner for Manchester United.
Manchester United is a global brand with a massive fan base. However, the club has struggled on the field and off in recent years. The club has failed to compete with its rivals on the pitch, and the owners have been criticized for their lack of investment in the team. Elon Musk's ownership of the club would bring a new energy and focus to Manchester United. He would prioritize investment in the team, bring in new talent, and create a winning culture. Musk has a reputation for being a demanding boss who sets high standards for his employees. This focus on excellence and the pursuit of greatness would be a perfect fit for Manchester United.
One of the key advantages of having Elon Musk as the owner of Manchester United is his ability to innovate. Musk's companies are at the forefront of technological innovation, and he has a track record of disrupting industries. He is a futurist who is always looking for ways to make the world a better place. His ability to innovate would be a significant asset to Manchester United. He would bring new ideas and approaches to the club, and his focus on technology would help Manchester United stay ahead of its competitors.
In contrast, Sheikh Jassim, who is rumored to be interested in buying Manchester United, has a very different background. Sheikh Jassim is a member of the Qatari royal family and the chairman of the Qatar Sports Investments. The Qatar Sports Investments is the parent company of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Sheikh Jassim has been instrumental in turning PSG into a footballing powerhouse, but his approach to ownership is very different from Elon Musk's. Sheikh Jassim's focus is on buying top talent and spending big on transfers. He has invested heavily in PSG and has transformed the club into one of the most expensive teams in the world. However, this approach has its drawbacks. PSG has struggled to build a winning culture, and the team has underperformed in key matches.
Jim Ratcliffe, the founder of INEOS, is another billionaire who has been linked with buying Manchester United. Ratcliffe has a reputation for being a shrewd businessman who is not afraid to take risks. His company, INEOS, has become a major player in the petrochemical industry, and Ratcliffe has used his wealth to buy sports teams. He owns the Swiss football team FC Lausanne-Sport, and he has invested heavily in cycling. However, like Sheikh Jassim, Ratcliffe's approach to ownership is focused on buying top talent. His investments in sports teams have been criticized for being short-term and lacking in vision.
In contrast to Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe, Elon Musk's approach to ownership would be focused on building a sustainable and successful team. Musk would invest in the development of young players, focus on building a strong team culture, and prioritize long-term success over short-term gains. His vision for Manchester United would extend beyond the football pitch, and he would seek to transform the club into a global brand that is synonymous with innovation and excellence.
Another advantage of having Elon Musk as the owner of Manchester United is his commitment to social responsibility. Musk has been vocal about his desire to use his wealth to make the world a better place. He has invested in renewable energy, space exploration, and the development of sustainable transport. He has also pledged to donate the majority of his wealth to philanthropic causes. If he were to own Manchester United, he would bring this commitment to social responsibility to the club. He would seek to use the club's influence and reach to promote positive change in the world.
In conclusion, Elon Musk would be the best owner of Manchester United. His visionary approach to business, focus on innovation, commitment to excellence, and social responsibility make him the ideal candidate to lead the club. Sheikh Jassim and Jim Ratcliffe may have wealth and a track record of investment in sports teams, but their approaches to ownership are short-sighted and lack the vision necessary to transform Manchester United into a global powerhouse. With Elon Musk at the helm, Manchester United would have the opportunity to reach new heights and cement its place as one of the greatest football clubs in history.

TL;DR
Musk is a scumbag, if he were associated with Manchester United, I would immediately stop following football.
I agree, his practice of paying under the odds and willy nilly firing people is somewhat akin to slavery. Thank God the other options seem much better.
Delaney works for a newspaper that is being “newswashed” its two biggest stake holders are affiliated to states that are at war against smaller, weaker countries.
For someone preaching the moral high ground it’s a huge double standard as free and impartial press, which The Independent once was is one of the most important aspects of society.
1) Delaney’s ‘opposition’ to Saudi & UAE at Newcastle and City was no where near as intense as it is to his opposition to Qatar. Should be noted, Saudi and UAE have tensions with Qatar. There’s much worse human rights issues with Saudi.
2)Since the Saudi takeover of The Independent there’s been a noticeable shift its coverage of the coverage on the war on Yemen.
