If this goes through, I don't think that people can throw the "you're an oil club with no soul" line at us still. We were already a huge club, one that has been handicapped for over a decade by leeches. If anything this redresses the balance somewhat but I don't think we'll be cooking the books city style because we shouldn't have to. So it's essentially just an ownership like most others unless an extra shedload of cash is regularly injected.

Yup. Like you go to talk shit to a Liverpool fan after beating them - except now they just say "yeah well you're an oil club and have unlimited funds to do this so are you really happy"... You can't even respond to it. The whole social element of football, being proud to win, fighting your corner etc is all in the dust now. It's just like a private thing I'll keep to myself now basically.

You do you, but for me it would be more like we finally got to play without our owners holding us back. I don't buy that they will cheat to get us players, they don't need to - instead they will remove the restrictions the Glazers have put on us.
 
At this point anything the British press say is guesswork. The likes of Ornstein and Hirst included.

But nobody ever gave us credit anyway. As if Liverpool fans were fine honourable gentlemen after a loss to us. It was always Fergie Association, refs in our pockets, etc. Honestly this is such a bizarre thing to get concerned about. If we beat Liverpool under Qatari ownership I couldn’t give two tiny fecks what the dippers or anyone else says. As if this club hasn’t suffered enough under the Glazers. So we just want to take a moral high ground to be able to say we won with a boot on our neck? No thanks. We will adhere to every FFP rule and rival fans can cry about it all they want.

If that's what he meant then he needs to stfu or start doing his job, it's not diffictult to find clubs or franchises that are or have been sold in the past 2 to 3 years and see how long or difficult the process was. Honestly this sales, exposed how incompetent the sport press is.

To be honest this isn't their territory. Watching Ben Jacobs talk about the time a registration of a company takes just shows that he never had to deal with that in his life. Why they still bother to post their nonsense on Twitter is a different story. Getting enough traffic there must be lucrative.
 
This is now a question of when, not if, its an exciting thought actually being debt free for the first time in almost 20 years and maybe just maybe, Neymar joins on a loan deal, that would not be a surprise.

And what is your opinion on City? We'll deserved success? Adhering to FFP? Nothing going on under the table?

People will throw those lines at us. I wont care if we're competing for Premier Leagues and Champions Leagues titles. As you point out, if we're run properly we've no need to compete with the antics of Hundred Fifteen FC.

There's nothing conflicting there, unfortunately. They are negotiating exclusivity, they don't have it yet so both are correct. We are living in a prayer that Ratcliffe comes in with a new 11th hour bid to stop it from happening basically.

Who's this "we" you're talking about?
 
Certain posters really are in complete denial about where this is headed reading some of the posts over the last few pages, it's quite funny.

I would give them that leeway if they weren't acting like cnuts and trying their best to rile-up fans. That's the part that I don't like, if they don't know then they should say nothing instead of making cryptic tweets and talking through their backsides.

This. You saw how the Sun treated Liverpool fans, to the point where many places in Liverpool wont even stock it. But if they were struggling with current ownership and Murdoch suddenly made himself liquid and promised to sugar-daddy them (or have the Murdoch family fund them ongoing to CL glory), there'd be a substantial majority of fans that would be on board, whatever they say now...

I'll say it once more but City are unique, they are accused of committing fraud. Plenty of clubs don't adhere to FFP for various reasons but City are beyond that.
 
Hallelujah !

It's not quite official but this is as close as it gets. Good riddance Glazers, good riddance debt, hello new future. Hope this post doesn't come back to bite me! :devil:

Okay, so Crafton is suggesting that the Glazers are the ones spreading false stories in the news? Anyone actually believe that the sport press isn't the one talking nonsense on their own and that it is in fact the Glazers, even though the press said everything and its opposite for all sides?
Click to expand...
You'd have to ask him if he's suggesting that.

The sports press are quite obviously being used by parties in the process, I'm not saying its the Glazers though (and it happens in a lot of M&A processes) still the extent it has in this case is a lot.
The main issue with this process though is the constant missing of deadlines and proposed dates

EDIT: Do you think Reuters are talking nonsense? If not how do you think they got this info and what do you think the purpose it serves is (given they added at the end the situation could change if SJR ups his bid?)
 
92 foundation has been registered on gov UK companies house website. Alu akba!

edit - I checked companies house myself, all legit
 
One thing is certain, if Qatar buy us, silly season will never have been sillier. We'll be linked to every single player in the world :lol:
