The 'everybody body knows those supporting the Qatar bid are only doing so because they want shiny new signings' attitude is a convenient way of not engaging with the actual arguments of the majority of people who want Qatar.
I was 100% Ratcliffe right up until it was revealed he wouldn't clearing the debt and would actually be taking on more debt to buy the club (no matter on whose books it sits it will be the clubs revenues that service it). That also means no investment in infrastructure, and now the possibility of the 2 most visible leeches remaining and leeching off us for a few more years.
In an ideal world Ratcliffe would be offering to buy the club outright, pay off the debt, finance a new stadium and then leave football people to run the club, but that isn't an option, so I'm supporting the Qatar bid. I don't think they'll come in and spend £500m on players, my expectations are that they'll clear the debt, redevelop Old Trafford, the surrounding area and Carrington and then basically let the club live off it's own wealth generation. Run properly and debt free we don't need any outside investment, we can compete on our own.
