Your breakdown makes it seem VERY pro-Qatar
Really? you got that from a basic breakdown of someone else's post? Have you had your Weetabix yet?
Im only saying how it reads between the lines, nothing more than that really.

The Glazers only ever funded when CL money was in jeopardy, under a normal Glazer season this coming window we would be signing the likes of Dan James.
How not to make friends and influence people in one line..
You know where the wealth of Qatar came from?
Gas. That can even be taxonomy aligned
Too pissed to rhyme. Stand by the sentiment. Shouldn't be soiling our name with this garbage.
Not true. It's hard to believe the things people come out with sometimes when even a cursory moment of reflection would immediately reveal them to be wrong.
CL money wasn't seen to be in jeopardy in 2021 yet the Glazers spent serious cash on Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo that Summer.
It's stuff like this that lets the Glazers off the hook for their actual failures because they can use these obviously wrong criticisms as evidence that most fans are absolutely clueless and not worth listening to.
I think there has been enough Glazer bashing. This shitshow wasn't done on their own. They did release money up for transfers over the years but unfortunately as with lots of businesses the trusted advisors were useless. This is by no means excluding the Glazers but they shouldn't be allowed to take all the blame. Should SAF been allowed to anoint Moyes ?. Woodward whilst satisfying the sponsorship side for the Glazers was unable to make or shake with his team in the transfer dealings and seemed on the face of it "how many shirts will he sell" purchases. We were a cash cow for years and other teams and agents rubbed their hands when they saw us coming. There is still shit to sort out in the backroom offices as our transfer policy is still unconnected and more a dart game with the back pages of the daily mail on the wall. If we have a team of some 30 thirty scouts exactly what is their job? There has been endless discussion on SJR or SJ which when you get down to it who cares as along as the Glazers haven't there finger not the red button and that the new owners have the common sense to realise that finance was not the only reasons to our downfall over the last ten years. We are needing a team of mover and shakers as was in place before Pep ever arrived at City. Pep was placed in well oiled( pardon the pun) machine that had proved successful way before he arrived. ETH took over a shit show and should be 100% commended for his ability to navigate in a storm. We can only hope the systems in the background are changing and couple that with an actual sale and not another " The glazers have announced there is not value in the market and fudge a none sale" and we can breath a sigh of relief.
This.
Put a advert in the Manchester evening news for an alternative then " Wanted Boss with 6B of spare cash, Middle east based owners need not apply " and throwing spit at folk who are for a thousand reasons are not attending is bollocks.
Not defending the Glazers, but they have spent a lot of money, just a shame they and their appointees were so incompetent that the majority was piddled up the wall.
Nation States need not apply, from anywhere.
You can stuff your not-so-subtle accusations of racism up your fecking bollocks.
They’ve spent feck all, it’s all club revenue and they’ve been pocketing a lot of it themselves.
Massively incorrect. Sort of thing pundits like Jamie Redknapp and Souness say on skysports without doing any research on what they're talking about.
They haven't spent a penny, they've allowed United to spend a fraction of what they make. If the Glazers weren't there United would have been able to spend much more
Starting to smell a lot like Glazers staying on. I'm guessing that they are waiting until after the season. They'll sanction a few signings and announce that they are staying when they think the fans will be too excited about getting Declan Rice or what have you.
Final bids have been in for a while and nothing has happened, so this seems to indicate a Glazer stay.

There isn't ever going to be a point in time where this sentence is true.
There’s got to be big investment coming in from somewhere as no way will they sanction x3 big money transfers (Rice, Mount & Kane) all in the one window when it was reported a few weeks/months ago that we were pretty much skint going into this summers transfer window.
They have allowed the club to spend vast sums on transfers is what he meant.
Not giving our managers money to spend isn't something we can accuse them of doing. They have all been backed.
Everything else is the issue. The debt, not employing the best in class in senior leadership roles etc.
Probably because it's not a sale of a bag of crisps. It's an asset worth 5bn plus. These things take time.
Don't see them staying tbh. Not after going this far with the process. The fans will riot like never before if they don't relinquish control now.
I think it's over for them we just got to wait for everything to be sorted officially. Our CL place not being secure until last night could have been one of the things holding up the deal too.
Big day next Thursday
Some kind of news anyway

Uh, no
I know what he meant, but the Glazers deserve no credit. As if we should be grateful they didn’t pocket the whole bloody lot. Oh thank you kind Glazers for allowing the club to spend a fraction of the revenue generated. And we’ve had plenty of barren transfer windows where the funds weren’t available. They are parasites.
Not surprised if they did stay on, just reading the posts from the miserable feckers on here constantly complaining would see to that.
Qatar ain't good enough because of their human rights...blah blah blah
Ineos aren't good enough because of their green credentials...blah blah blah
Feck me.
If I was a Glazer reading this thread I'd come to the conclusion that most United supporters are a bunch of miserable b*stards that are never happy, so what's the point in selling??? They already hate us so we may as well stay put and just carry on taking out dividends for another 10 years.
Be careful what you lot wish for.
Bank Holiday Monday coming as well so maybe it'll be a slow news weekend, not that it will stop me from keeping eyes on the Caf.
Very strange how its just gone radio silent from when the Qataris did the whole 11hour shenanigans on May 16th. 10 days on and we are yet to hear a peep. If I was a betting man, despite my hearing wanting Sheikh Jassim, my head is saying it'll be Jim Glazer as his offer appeases the most people. The other Glazers can ride off into the sunset with about 700m each, Avram & Joel get to stay for a bit whilst the Brexit Rat buys 51% of the club for now.

I didn't need to. Your post was inaccurate.
I think it’s fanciful we’ll get news today , the very earliest the Monday after the FA cup final, the very earliest.
Can be very plausible if its minority investment
Desperation has consumed me, and I can't bear it any longer. Sell the club. Sell! Club!
The!
The!
That's not news.
Yeah, I can imagine the scenes.
"Yo, Joel, have you been reading that Man United message board?"
"Avram, nobody has used message boards since the mid 2000s. Anyway, what are they saying?"
"Some people are upset about us selling to a nation state and others are upset we might sell to someone who isn't a nation state"
"Maybe we shouldn't sell then?"
"And miss out on $6bn?"
"But the message board"
"Good point."
Given the way the process has gone, it does seem like a very likely issue is that there’s a genuine divide among the family as to what to do. And perhaps not even along the Avram & Jewel v the rest lines that we’d been led to believe.
Don't understand why you think the share price will be double/triple if Jassim wins as opposed to INEOS?
It won't be as the price will be mostly set by whatever price the Glazers agree to sell at - there could then be some difference since Jassim commits to buy all the shares but it won't be anywhere near that
The rest of your theories are possible but complete speculation and much of it based on info from questionable sources (El Pais etc)
We've spent as much as City have. Lack of transfer funds is not a thing we can throw at them. We've spent more than enough to compete.
What we've done is wasted it and they have to take the blame there because ultimately they decide who are the people who are spending it and they have the ability to replace somebody like Ed Woodward and they didn't
Thank you Sir for your humour. You made my day.
They definitely won't though. There'll be a few yellow and green scarves extra and that will be that. The Glazers know this.
'They' haven't spent any money. Enough said.
