Sheikh Jassim setup as a director today in the UK. The other chap registered as the director in this incorporation filing, Abdulrahman Abdulla AL-ANSARI works in the Qatar Investment Authority more specifically in the mergers and acquisition group.

Good find. Got to be happening. You don't register a company with a mergers and acquisition specialist without intent.
 
It’s a bit strange. I know what sports washing is and why they do it. But for me personally, my view hasn’t changed of Qatar/Saudi/Abu Dhabi from before they bought PSG/Newcastle/City. Honestly, the only time I hear mention of it is negatively when fans are having digs at each other.

The times are saying INEOS are favourites, Keegan makes no comment and the BBC strongly hinting Qatar in their podcast. Reuters say Qatar. It’s like nobody has a fecking clue.

Twice in one week the muppets have convinced themselves that Qatar have it in the bag over a load of fluff. It's impressive, really.

Surely Jasim can make a deal with the glazers to fund transfers In the meantime or something :nervous:

Would you? Would you even allow it if you are Glazers? What if deal goes off in last minute? And club just spent 300 mil. Who will pay for that?

Or Times have contacts with politically friendly, British billionaires, and Reuters have contacts within US finance, and specifically those/those adjacent to those handling the actual deal.
 
Now reports are saying the SJ group not knowing anything about exclusivity negotiations and SJR as the front runner.

I have officially lost interest with this up and down news.

We can spend what we make. As we always could.

We don't need oil money.

My feeling is that keegan and the times journalists have been commenting basically non stop since February, reuters, a more trusted source, have posted one article, I'd put more faith in them

Ah man thats terrible of Qatar, we should go for Ineos instead. At least they treat their workers well…

Ineos, the company that has forced Scotland's biggest industrial site into extreme shutdown and announced plans to cut the wages, jobs and pensions of all its workers, is using a public relations firm specialising in protecting companies hit by child labour accusations.
Media Zoo is a London-based PR firm which advertises itself as having `extensive experience of dealing with crisis situations including industrial disputes, fatal accidents, profit warnings, child labour, product failures, customer service issues, redundancies and restructuring.'

The firm has been running what the Unite union described as a `campaign of fear' designed to terrify the 1,400 strong workforce into believing that the site is on the verge of collapse, despite a buoyant energy market, in order to force through swingeing cuts to their pay, jobs and pensions.
Unite is warning the PR firm, that by enthusiastically engaging with a management team that has taken such a ruthless approach to its workforce and Scottish energy supplies, it risks serious reputational damage.

Wouldn’t call Reuters fluff now.
What’s clear as day is Keegan and Times sharing the same source and with that one source they either know a story or they don’t. It’s not as if they can ask around and verify.
When the story breaks it won’t be Keegan, Times or Stone breaking it.Keegan didn’t even put his name to the story of Jim still being favourite

Exactly. And if you can do that, fair play. You just can’t have your cake and eat it too.



Another weird byproduct is that if Liverpool or Arsenal do start pimping themselves out for state ownership now, they will be lesser hypocrites than us…. as they can legitimately say it’s a must for them to compete…. We’re the ones legitimising that argument now. We may be able to trace the genus to City, but we’ve rubber stamped it. We’re the ones who had the power to resist and didn’t and we will absolutely be used as the tipping point of no return. The big bad who fecked everything. And we just kinda have to take it.

but you know, exciting times and everything.

Tbh I'm there already, I was against the Qatari buyout as it kills the spirit of compeittive football, but City winning the CL and Newcastle qualifying for the CL have changed my mind. The floodgates have opened and since regulation to curtail it isn't forthcoming, if you can't beat em, join em

If anything more oil clubs doing well may lead to some actual useful regulation against the dodgy sponsorships etc to even the field for the other clubs

Do you only follow Utd to win things?
 
The biggest and most recognisable companies and brands are involved in the Middle East. I've not seen a murmur from people calling them out. The lyrics from the Abba song goes ring so true.

Morality is so lost these days. Respect to those small band of brothers and sisters still around to argue for the downtrodden.

tbf this I agree with. If there’s any positive sliver for football as a whole, it’s that at least people might actually start to take the issue seriously now, rather than pretend it’s all kinda fine because there’s an easily sellable romance to financially doping underdog teams.

The argument the likes of City have been desperate to sell that they’re only as bad as the old money clubs were was always more like billionaire media barons convincing everyone the real elites were actors in nice posh houses in Islington… and annoyingly it partially stuck because a lot of people just really hated us/Liverpool winning lots throughout their childhood.

They’ll come up with arguments about how they’re not the same thing. It’s all just nonsense.
