Yes, a couple of days ago, but it was a false alarm. They're cunning though, could be headed here by superyacht as we speak. Straight up the ship canal.

Very good
I’ve no dog in this fight. I don’t want the club to be state owned so I’m extremely wary about this Jassim guy but I’ve no intention of going in to bat for SJR either. I just think it funny the way so many people on here are convinced that the problem we have had has been not spending enough money and an influx of oil money will have us dominating again.
Nice try Elon
I think we just want someone other than the Glazers. While our spending on players appears be similar to City (at least what is disclosed), the Glazers spent a pittance improving infrastructure and facilities. At least with ownership sorted we can give EtH a genuine chance to shape the team without one hand tied behind his back.
It absolutely is the issue, we've spent money under the Glazers but intermittently. Imagine how much better we'd have done with a proper striker this season instead of Ronaldo and weghorst? When pep came in city had aguero, de bruyne, David Silva already in the team and spent 500m over 2 summers. We've spent big when top 4 has been in danger then usually reigned the spending back in. Having owners who will happily give ten hag 250--300m every summer until we're title challengers will clearly make a difference to owners who spend that much when we drop put of the top 4 but don't bother investing further after we get back into the champions league
I think I’m just going to ignore this thread until Sky report something. It’s too painful.
As expected
They know what they're doing. Shady lot.

Sky? They’re one of the most unreliable sources out there. Wait for the BBC at least.
Meltdown
That's what they want you to think. Buy when others sell is the best advice, nothing can go wrong.
So it was bullshit and the most reliable sources are still leaning towards Ineos as I suspected.
On this point, while community ownership or what have you is never going to happen, that doesn't mean we should just throw our hands up and say screw the whole thing. When it comes to connection with the city, Glazers to Ineos is a modest improvement, Glazers to SJ is, at best, a sideways step.
This isn't really my concern tbh, however again, if it is a concern, then there are clearly higher and lower risks of this happening with different owners. So yes, it could happen under Ineos, but its less likely.
Again, its a question of degrees. Firstly, its not America, its Britain we're talking about, since Ineos is a British company and so is its owner. I'd say its possible to think that Britain is flawed, while also thinking it does many things better than Qatar in areas that matter to me personally, such as equality and human rights. You may disagree, I'm not really interested in having an argument about whether that's right or wrong, but just to explain why I personally have the view I do.
Now we get to find out if the share price moved on the basis of that tweet. Two hours left of pre-market trading.
Nobody is leaning towards Ineos. It's 50/50 now.
Has there been a cumulative suicide from the cult of muppets from last night then?
Cocks/tits back in.
'Al Watan is not owned by Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani' but it's owned by his son.
We're still a few months away from anything I think.
A big day turns small
5 short months to go and then the final bids will be in. Maybe

It’s not a transfer deal even if it was advanced to 99.9% complete you’d still get denials because of the NDA’s etc
I think there’s been a Qatar breakthrough but until the deal is complete we will probably all be guessing.

Was holding at 20% for a while, last few mins it's fallen to 15%
This is what I've been saying. The expectation of something getting done this week / this month is under the acknowledgement that it would be the smart thing for all parties
Unfortunately, the only smart Glazer is long dead and the kids are spoilt greedy cnuts
The combination of twitter and 'Qatari sources' was only ending one way
fecking massive turn off
This thread is going to be here till Christmas.

I reckon they've been using their own media to pressurise the Glazers. Or something.
If the Al-Thani bid is successful, the club will soon be part of this murky mess where no one knows who owns what, or who is ultimately in charge.
Hm, not good news if you thought Qatar has won.
But I think there's also a chance they had to issue a denial because of the NDA conditions to avoid legal issues.
There's no such thing as a reliable source on which way it's leaning. The Glazers are making the decision and they won't tell anyone until they've talked it out amongst themselves.
The only thing we know is who's bidding and what roughly stage we're at. Everything else is conjecture and extrapolation.
And nobody was surprised.
This will easily hit 2000 pages

It's amazing to see people fall for it time and again. Share price is falling. I expect it will be back down to where it was yesterday ($20) by mid-afternoon today.
It always has and always will. A terrorist-funding slave-state will now own Manchester United. Undeniable now that this is a PR vehicle for that state.
Won't be hard to leave a fanbase that thinks something good has happened here.
You ok pet?
