Reckon I’m a good bit older and a hell of a lot less talented than Grealish….just as much of a tool though
Crikey, not sure how I’d feel about that, he reeks of evil bastard to me. Suppose we might finally land FDJ though, so that’s something

I'm rooting for the Qataris just for the sheer madness that will ensue from some posters
A lot of those posters have genuine anxiety about Qatar taking over the club. To just dismiss that so you can gloat is pretty low.
On what basis do you think the Glazer's wouldn't pass due diligence?
Only 5 pages this morning, no tweets, took 20 seconds to flick through. Thanks. 
Was the question too difficult for you or something?
Well, yeah, seeing as he's dead now, or rather he never lived, seeing he was a fictitious cockney spiv an' all that.

I don’t know how you do it. I always come in to this thread and start at the very latest post, scroll up to the previous 3 or 4 then think “feck this” and close the page. And yet I still keep coming back.
The Reuters story has been undersold by the title pretending the reports were "conflicting"
What happened was an impeccably reputable source broke a story that feck wits on Twitter weren't able to source and suddenly it's 'conflicting'

Started his audition early. "Jassim if one day you need a manager you know who to call".
Ridiculous Tweet. Section of the FT article quoted is an assumption the time is taking could be a sign of division within the Glazer family. And that the family's notorious secrecy makes it hard to know, or it could be because a multibillion-pound deal takes time to make
"Wow super THERMONUCLEAR BOOM SCARY SHIT" take away from that like he's Dr Eric Ding just walking by someone who sneezed is a bit silly.
The Glazers aren’t leading potential buyers this far down the road only to turn around and say “actually, we will keep the club but thanks for your interest.”
Not a chance.
Not a chance.
Money talks
Quite, they risk their own credibility.
And that's actual credibility in the business world not the credibility we pretend they don't have because we sold Ronaldo and bough Obertan
Hopefully without any asterisks
I don't care if he brings his comics with him
I’m confused, nowhere does it say they could stay?
Most likely they would be sued so unlikely indeed
So all this “may not be completed till after start of the season” - is that sounding more of a realistic situation, or was that an incredibly pessimistic “worst case scenario?”
If only Qatar could take over so we get a proxy war between Qatar and the UAE in the middle of Manchester
With a bit of luck they will rename both clubs. Doha United against Abu Dhabi City

Pretty much. The AP report was extremely thin also. They basically got a ‘no comment’ from their Qatar source and people took that as a denial.
This was the quote
This sale is pathetic, dragging on too long, Glaziers will still he here next season and with a reported only 120m for transfers, my fear that that they won’t go and we will get one maybe 2 players in, 1 of which has to be a keeper.
Can’t take another season of this shite, being a United fan really sucks right now.

I hate that song so much but well done
its been a while since i last visted Miami. Count me in when the protest starts
Why does everyone hate that song?
The funniest thing is, the Reuters report was only in continuation of reports at start of the week from Times and Daily Mail that a preferred bidder is expected by end of the week.
Yet when Reuters report that Jassim is in negotiations to be chosen as preferred bidder, there's 'conflicting'.

You can’t say that in these parts, it’s considered a bad word! Wishful thinking mate. Most people picked a side and don’t want to believe they might be wrong.
Never listened to Tool? Are they any good ToOl?
Most likely the British reporters got the same from their sources
Agreed, that's the most appropriate deduction.
What's the possibility of Glazers being back to purchase another football club having a shed load of money? We know they were interested in an IPL (Cricket) franchise last year.
Everyone will want to believe what they want but a news institution running a story about a major financial deal isn't conflicted by the fact a sports reporter hasn't got the same information.
We really need to stop thinking the Glazers or anyone close to them are getting on the blower to Geoff Shreeves, Mike Keegan or him off Talksport. You might as well claim political stories are 'conflicted' if the bloke down the pub that sells the cut price meat can't confirm that what the BBC are reporting is true.

The Glazers taking over/taking up a significant role in Liverpool would be absolutely amazing. Truly the happy ending this story deserves.
With Jim as partner, please.
Can't see it. Why sell Coca Cola if you want to remain in the fizzy beverages game. I think they're done with football
Getting any clear truth about these deals would be pretty risky due to legalities on the part of Raine, Glazers, and the buyers. We can only read between the lines of any crumbs of news coming out from news sources.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but they will not be able to buy another club like they bought us, right?
Sure could. Every possibility Ratcliffe would have followed the same model. Still might.
Of course - for balance - some think it is equally possible he wanted to buy the club, incurring billions in debt and not follow entirely regularly business practices as he has in his other ventures and use revenue from the business to service the debt.
They will nothing preventing it .
