That announcement would probably blow up Twitter and the internet (the Caf).
That is why I was not enthusiastic about the news. The day RATcliffe made the parasites partners I knew this story is over, we will swim in mediocrity for eternity.
FFS the sale goes from bad to worse, we are the laughting stock of the footballing world.
There were people in this thread actually discussing a possible Mbappe to United transfer last night - literally walking parodies of the Qatar bid supporters. All it took was a fake rumour started by a Twitter account in Cardiff with 250 followers. As you say, the actual announcement day will probably be a good day to avoid the caf, whichever way it goes.
To the Wout thread...
Wow. Someone made some money selling that rumour.
This thread is like a RAWK meltdown x 10. Once everything comes crashing down, people get build up again only to get ran over by a car for the tenth time.
Exactly
My good humour is waning. The leaches need to leave for the future of the team.
It’s all very boring now. How much longer can this crap actually drag on for?
People keep confusing the cause and effect with respect to the stock price and news/developments taking place. Please listen to me! 
Separately, it is pretty amusing seeing the Rat Pack taking a victory lap. They seem more concerned with dunking on the "Qatar In" fans above all else.

Share price has been pushing towards $23 in the last hour after nearly hitting $22 so maybe the market still has some confidence.
Good post.
What I will say is that we've never really had to associate the owners with the club, until the Glazers really. This is because the club was self sustaining, built on the hard work of people and the fanatical support of us. Anybody associated with the club was just there in name. The issue for me is that, along with the obvious ethical issues, Qatar will probably very much start injecting their own money into the club and that will dilute everything that made us what we are. There will be no way to get away from it.
I'm of the opinion that we don't need to sacrifice our history or our values for money, we just need somebody to stay in the background, not siphon money and put a good business structure in place so we can go on as we are. We can afford to pay our own way and compete - we've just made an absolute hash of it for 13 years or so and have pissed a significant amount of our own money up the wall. With regards to a stadium, infastructure etc, other clubs have done it without significant investment from their owners. We don't need to go cap in hand to anybody.
We have been for some time now
We used data science but didn't have any dedicated data scientists to do it
Hahaha. To be honest our transfer strategy over the last decade may as well *have been* run by a 16 year old working on their GCSE maths in the first place.
romance? 18 years with the Glazer family taking over a billion dollars out of the club and letting all the facilities rot...romance?
It has started rising on opening
Yeah fair play to them it got traction
Still think so?
Presumably because people with no access to the pre/after markets have been fomoing. Still predicting it to settle down to 20-21 today if no new news drops.
Assuming the market includes at least some people with the same mentality as the absolute weapons in this thread I would say “some” confidence is an understatement.
Shameless stuff. I was shot down for saying this is why many pro Qatar posters want him to buy us, claiming I was wrong. Then within minutes of the bogus Jassim win, the Mbappe thread is bumped.
I think you may have missed the point of my post. I was commenting on how it isn't just as easy as 'supporting another club' if you dislike who owns us, regardless of who it is.
Reminiscent of the imposters and the Herrera thing in 2013,least we all know now not to trust most Qatari sources. Most reliable looks to be that Fahed Alemadi guy who provided some clarification on the situation which helped
How did so many people get duped by such an obvious fake story from Twitter?
Don’t worry, nobody will be laughing at us when we sell to a state owned sports washing regime responsible for thousands of migrant deaths and human rights abuses. They won’t be able to, out of fear. All hail the regime!
It’s almost as if there’s a correlation between wanting Qatar and being naive.
The markets aren't generally that stupid though, surely?
Wholeheartedly agree.
Only problem is, we don't have that option.
There's 3 offers on the table.
1. Glazers stay
2. A british Sir
3. A qatari overlord
Choose one of the three.
As far as i'm concerned, i don't mind either of the three simply because i don't care about the ownership side of the club.
Could be Osama Bin Laden for all i care.
I do however love reading the well informed posters on the caf.
So far, it's between 2 and 3 with both sides having some moral dilemmas.
Top level trolling
Even Goldbridge got his panties in a twist - just goes to show that every person is as clueless as the next.

We laugh at PSG and city all the time. Though I wouldn't laugh at Chelsea, them Americans are quick to pull a trigger. Also, don't reply to this from an iPhone, we don't want to be supporting child labor now.
I'm sorry, its just funny that human rights violations are now an exclusively Qatari thing. Do we know anything about Ineos's set of morals?
This thread moves from: gloating from Pro qatari --> virtue signaling --> rumors squashed --> gloating from SJR fans.
(I may have missed some steps)
All due to fecking glaziers.

Honestly, yes. I'd prefer for us to be owned by the Glazers than Qatar. I'd prefer for us to tumble down the divisions than be owned by a human rights abusing state.
I love this club a lot more than I love "winning". How do you think people support the majority of clubs throughout the world that never win anything?
I mean, this is just jaw-dropping
