OMG I almost posted something along these lines, wondering if Chevy Chase had been doing the rounds in Qatar area a few decades back maybe on a Fletch promotional tour, then thought people would just think i was crazy
Thought exactly the same !! Over the last couple of months, it's been in the back of my mind that this guy looks familiar, yet who is it? Been bugging me stupid. Thanks for the post
 
I assume we are talking about this photo?



Clearly not an 'official' photo but theories about photoshopped seem far fetched

If you were going to fake it then I'm pretty sure you would do a better job than that !


Of the two choices I think Jassim is the best for Utd, but I have to say, the guy looks like an absolute psychopath in every picture.
 
You’d like to think that Ratcliffe surely knows he’s being used to extract more money from Qatar right ? Ratcliffe should simply say that they’ve had his offer on the table for a month or whatever it is and it’s still the highest one even though it’s spread out so either accept it or he’ll walk away.

If all the Glazer’s have on offer is the current highest offer from Qatar they’ll be forced out as they know there’s no money left for them to bleed out of the club so it’d be cash out or watch everything fall apart financially, they know their ‘minority investment’ offers either aren’t anywhere near what’s needed or even exist so the bidders need to take control instead of letting it be dragged out.
 
Still think it’s mad that we might one day get an answer to how this lands.

If our great great grand children are United fans maybe part of our memories will share their joy / disappointment
 
Think the Glazers will not sell the club. It was said that they were just trying to estimate the value of the club to see if they can get a good fee, but I suppose that 5B is not enough for them.

Frustration will grow even bigger towards them, no investment again this summer and they will probably not back Ten Hag this summer.

It's another example of how poor they are at running (ruining) the club.

They have to. It’s not financially viable in their business model anymore. They need to sell completely or a big chunk at the very least.

We are borderline insolvent

If you paint the guy on the left light blue he'd turn into Squidward. No word of a lie.

We are in CL next season, more exposure. They may think that with an extra 200M invested in the transfer market (money form the club) we can be even more exposed and touch the 6/7B.

Remember one of the first news when there was the intend to sell was that they would like to get 7B.

I think that they have their target and don't really care about the image or what may happen.

I think you’re underestimating or misunderstanding the club’s present financial situation. It’s really bad.

They will never invest their money into the club, nor will they get the chance to as they will be gone soon. I’m absolutely 100% sure of that.
 
Everyday the same couple of posters posting rumours they've seen off some 12 year olds account on twitter but can't post the tweet because they'll end up banned from the thread and therefore can't post tomorrows rumour.

It's the circle of shite
 
I really fecking hope you’re joking… but on this thread it’s hard to tell.

I’m fervently in favour of Jassim taking over Utd, and I’m not white.

I just think in every photo his stare is a little… psychopathic looking. Coupled with the close set eyes it’s a menacing gaze.
Or course I’m joking :lol:

Can't see them gambling away 5bn in the hopes of a further 2bn if I'm honest.

It looks like a hostage shot to me. That's fear in his eyes.

And yet some still manage to post dodgy tweet sources despite the thread title.
 
So, has anything happened here since round 4 or whatever it was?

A couple of weeks after round 3 (officially the final round of bidding - deadline 28 April), the bidders still had not received any feedback, but the Qataris were presumably hearing the same things as the media (ie that Ineos were significantly ahead and were probably about to be granted exclusivity) and therefore Qatar contacted the Glazers directly (bypassing Raine) to put in a new bid outside the formal bidding process that eclipsed their third round bid. That was on Monday 15 May.

Precise figures are hard to come by, but reports have indicated that the additional bid that the Qataris submitted directly to the Glazers, still falls short the bid that Ineos submitted in the third round of the formal bidding process.

A further two weeks have gone by and nobody has really heard anything - we do know that United's board of directors met on Thursday last week to discuss the ongoing process, but no resolution was achieved. It has again been reported that Ineos are still ahead (one assumes that the Qataris have one last chance to at least match the Ineos third round bid, but if they fail or if no '5th round' Qatari bid is forthcoming, I'd guess we'll hear shortly after the cup final that Ineos have won and Avram & Joel are staying on in minority roles - no more matches until August will minimise the potential for disruptive protests).

Ah that's great, thanks very much. Trust the Glazers to even make their fecking off a painful affair.

I hope they forever find themselves stepping on upturned plugs in the night.
 
If Manchester United is sold to this dictator from Quatar, then we will be City Vol. 2. The Premier League can then consider changing its name to "The Arab League".

Please, keep Manchester United away from dictators.

Well expect major cancellation of games due to protests on a different scale then
 
Maybe a lot of people are not considering the obvious; from season 24/25 the champions league expands to 36 teams and EPL is in line for an extra CL position based on their coefficient record over last 5 years. The EPL is almost Certainly getting 5 positions from next season qualification. For Season 24/25.

It’s time to start talking about the Top Five and I’m sure the Goblins will be explaining that under the new legislation the club would be a fixture in the CL as they’ve only been 6th twice and 7th once since the PL started. More room to negotiate on their pathetic behalf, more reason to bluff the two bidders that they might just stay with new found belief in ETH.

We all know it’s a bluff but they will go right to the wire before relinquishing power of this club and the CAF needs to do a new thread saying who going to make the Top Five Next year ?
 
We haven't spent money like we've been satisfied with just scraping top 4. That's a result of poor recruitment on and off pitch and directionless club management.

It's a really odd criticism that still sticks this idea we've scrimped by when actually we've been shitting money like a fisted piggybank. The money we spent is simply ignored because it's considered inconvenient to the narrative everyone seems to prefer over the reality.
 
All these months of waiting and debate and we are going to end up run by Jim, Joel and Avram Glazer at the end, with all the debt still in place

What a waste of time

Well at least just announce it then,don't be cowardy custards because scared of fan backlash
 
Agreed. Dunno though if they should upgrade Old Trafford och build a "New Trafford". OT is legendary..
United could sell out 120,000 all seater every week, it just could especially with a wining team.

I’m certain at least one unknown and regularly derided Twitter account is more itk than people realise. Can’t remember which but there is one that has beaten credible journalists to a few stories. It’s only after the last “Jassim to make 11th hour bid” That the thought occurred to me because that first came from a random account.
