It does, especially as SJR is British.
Of the two options which has got a better record on Human Rights?

And that bears relevance to the Venn Diagram how?
Oh was Brexit about human rights was it?
No need to conflate things mate.
What?Just wondering out of curiosity, how many of the anti-Qatar folks wouldn't give a toss about this stuff if they were not buying United. How many of them who see a pretty woman, first thing they say is 'Oh I certainly would' or 'I couldn't care less about the woman's football team. Why are we wasting money on the women's team when that would buy us a strikerWomen are stupid, women drivers The other way round, hope people read all this and not just the first bit, drive cars that eat up petrol, travel here there and everywhere on planes for business, throw litter on the floor, leave dog crap lying around, rather than cleaning it up. That is just bad for the environment, it is a danger to young children as bacteria in it can cause blindness. How many recycle properly. Whatever side of the argument, we will all likely be hypocrits.
I don't think there's any correlation between voting Leave and preferring Sir Jim over Qatar. I'd argue the opposite and that Brexit voters are more likely to favour a Qatar ownership based on not caring about the consequences and just wanting the option with the most money to spend.
The only thing the two arguments have in common is that both are a case of weighing up the least worst option.

If Ratcliffe was American his very same supporters would be vilifying him and shitting the prospect of him becoming owner.
But because he's 'one of our own' (with a Chelsea season ticket) and the Qataris will apparently turn Manchester into a medieval landscape, then he's supposedly our best option.
Sounds like a made up argument he's created in his head, divorced from reality just so he can continue to justify his support of the Qatari state even though somewhere deep down he knows it's unjustifiable.Sounds like extreme nationalism?

Nice have qualified for a European competition twice since the INEOS takeover. So far its one qualification every two years. Thats perfectly fine for a club like Nice.
NopeWomen's rights in Malta, the monarchy, BREXIT
Anything related to the takeover in this thread?
I have some really weird kinks, okay? I admit it. I'm not proud of it.It's bizarre that so many United fans support oppression of women and democratic groups in Qatar.
Why are you supporting a company that's one of the biggest contributors to global warming, the rising extinction of species, the rising level of natural disasters, the rising level of homes being destroyed by said natural disasters, etc. These are all valid concerns also. Apparently you support global warming and all of the above through your silence
Again simplisitic guilt trip. No two societies in the world a exactly the same. Gun law in the US, the condition and treatment of animals in certain countries etc. Societies evolve over time. The UK was different 10 years ago let alone 50 or 100 years ago, just take the welfare of the trans communities, making people feel they have a right to live. However cutting off a society and importantly a football club to punish a different culture/society does not make any sense when the UK Government have encouraged billions of pounds of investment from those nations. We're not even the thin end of the wedge.
Sending your message by cutting off a society does send a message, but doing so when your own nation is not doing so does not make any sense, if you want to make that statement then get the government to legislate and remove all such investment.
It's Dua LipaIs that Keir Starmer?
Not quite.It's not simplistic at all.
I like a good boycott.
I also believe really strongly in human rights and workers rights. You seem to think arbitrary lines on maps trump this. That's simplistic to my world view.
And I do also like holding elected reps to account.
Societies change in time, not always for the better. It's why we bother with international laws.
So you disagreed with the boycott on South Africa?
The devil you know at this point…in light of SJR’s failures at Nice, I’m starting to think we’d be better off with the glazers pulling out and staying w the club.
The opposite of this would be true. The Venn diagram would show the Brexit voters as pro-Qatar - the same people that want to keep politics out of sport, that opposed black players taking the knee, that don't care who own United as long as they get a transfer rush. The framing of people being opposed to Qatar as racists is just a bad faith argument.Suspect there’s a big overlap in the Venn diagram between Jim supporters and those that voted for Brexit. Mind you, that was a majority of people in Britain, although I suspect it would be a lot less in favour if you reran the vote now.

Can’t be too careful in the current health crisis. That haircut could be contagious. There’s no vaccine against looking like a diddler.

The only way the Ineos majority share plus 2 Glazer’s remaining works, is if the remaining Glazer’s keep their class B shares, as that’s where the value is. Yes, that means they can be outvoted by SJR, but it also means they will need to contribute their fair share to any investment In the future that Ineos may demand. For that reason alone I can’t see this flying. They might be in favour of investment happening, but not if they have to put their hands in their pockets. SJR is not going to fund all investment on his own whilst they are still on board. If he does he’s bonkers.
I just don't want Qatar to own us simple as that we don't need state backing.The opposite of this would be true.
