There hasnt been a single “reliable” source in this.
Which source has recently said this
Meh, better than some of the others who lost their heads saying they're about stop supporting the club.
We have spent money without a plan and that to me is the Glazers biggest fault. They let Woodward have free reign at the club for a decade without implementing any sort of plan for the sporting side of the club.
80m on Maguire was stupid
50m on Wan Bisaka wa silly
I’m inverted at this point
Yes we have wasted money but haven't city spent 60m and 50m on centre backs and full backs they don't even use?
Based on the last 24 hours of this thread, we can't even work out who owns Qatari newspapers.
Yeah, I've shrunk down to a pitifully flaccid seven and a half inches.
Yeah good case study I’d say. I imagine it will settle around the 20-21 point at some point today.
Definitely, over the last 20 years my biggest worry has been having owners where we don't know for certain whether or not their father owns a newspaper. I can't imagine anything worse
Thank you Pidgy for making my day. You are a universally beloved bird for a reason.
My guess is the same too.
And theres a flipside, City have sold relatively well. If Raheem Sterling played for United, we wouldn't have sold him last season let alone not for the great price they sold him for.
That’s not NEW
Yeah it certainly makes the net spend figures look healthier. As a club we've been atrocious at selling players, though this predates Woodward, even under fergie I rarely remember us getting a good sale price
A vastly quicker U turn than I even expected.
I'm sniffing polyethylene while wearing a ghutra to keep the take over dream alive. I also keep a photo of Michael Knighton in my phone just in case.
luhg luhg luhg luhg. Anything but the Glazers.

Who are the owners of Al Watan media? Check this out https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/13/soc...fter-qatar-hints-at-takeover-bid-success.html
So, it was all crap, as I expected.
I think nothing has changed since last week and INEOS are still ahead, as it was reported by actually reliable sources.

I suppose it is 'new' for the people who thought Qatar had won last night, based on a mistranslated tweet and some low volume after-hours trades of United shares (price has fallen on the news that there is no news).
Presently feeling like this after reading most of the messages
Ineos are not ahead of anything
the Glazers have been feeding Sir Jimmy that line to squeeze Qatar
I wish it wasn't true but a nation state are not going to be outbid by Brexit Jim

Do people realize how important and strong al Watan are in Qatar? I would trust them over any other Western news outlet when it comes to Qatari sources.
The Glazers run United like a parent forcing a child to clean his plate, even after they discover the food has gone off.
I've seen businesses run like this before. The boss will order some stock and then refuse to replace even if it turns out to be unfit for purpose. In the same way, Woodward would be told about gaps in the squad, and filled them based on scouting reports and data science. But if those scouting reports and data science later turned out to be wrong, he wouldn't admit his mistakes or correct them. He'd double down and force the manager to make-do instead.
What City have done differently is buy, then sell, then buy, then sell, then buy again until they get it right. Meanwhile at Old Trafford, we buy once and force every subsequent manager to work around any deficiencies. Only once the player has completing been drained of any confidence and value does he finally sell at a pittance.
Their editor actually did
The weird thing is, they only posted a tweet and never posted a story on their website, that I know of at least.
What a surprise, just nonsense rumours
See above. They haven't reported or claimed anything. They simply made reference to international media reports, like the BBC's 'gossip' page often does.
I agree with you. While im not from Manchester, i do appreciate the local roots of the club. I wish there were a way to avoid being bought out by any billionaire. The perfect owner would not be seen at all, and would just let the club work. That person doesnt exist.
Unfortunately, having a discussion about which owner to prefer, based on the human rights and morality of their country is a political discussion, and I would like to avoid it too. I just commented because I don't remember anyone lobbying against the glazers all these years because of the gun control laws in the US, or the multiple wars they were involved with. At the end of the day, my issue with the glazers is that they do not care about the club and they do not care if it is successful. they just drained it for personal gain. I would back the owner that guarantees Manchester united are competitive again. If Sir Jim could ensure that, i would be happy with him. I just agree with making the lack of human rights and morals an issue for one part of the world.
Follow the money.
They can hardly come out and say it’s done when nothings official. There are legal issues.
Have you read the tweet?
Basically they're saying Al Watan isn't owned by Al Thani. His ol' man.
I tried a few times to warn people. I was only half joking when I did.
I don’t believe it’s the Sheikhs team pushing this narrative. Why would they potentially want to publicly be left with egg on their face by having outlets claim they’ve won only for Brexit Jimmy to be announced as the preferred candidate? Public humiliation doesn’t seem like the Qatari’s style.
