By an actual good poster though he’s a prick.
Surely there has to be some movement next week, whether SJ, Ineos or No Deal. I’ve never seen a bidding process this long without some sort of decision. Makes you wonder how the Glazer’s ever get to eat. By the time they’ve decided what to have for dinner tonight it will be breakfast time tomorrow!
It’s very silent at the moment. Something’s cooking?
You are literally an example of it. It has been your shtick for a while in this thread.
That is literally not what you said. In both of those quotes I’m replying to people insulting others for being moral police. That is not me saying I’m a paragon of virtue at all is it?
It’s also fair to add that one side has consistently claimed that the other are basically just muppets screaming ‘announce Mbappe’, rather than acknowledging that these are fans who want the Glazers removed, the debt cleared and stadium properly invested in. That has been a constant throughout.
I don’t see the fans who favour 92 Foundation trying to claim that the others are lesser fans than them or ‘muppets’, or making snide posts about them in the Generals.
It’s this that has contributed greatly to the toxic, binary environment that has developed.
Dude, he responded to that post which is an other literal example.
Why do you lie?
That is in a response to literal empirical data showing that people who voted to let Mason Greenwood play for United also wanted Qatar. That is not in any way shape or form saying I’m a paragon of virtue. It’s saying people who want a man suspended for over a year for sexual assault to play for the club are more likely to vote to have Qatari owners.
Trying to “both sides” this is mental.
Those receipts!
Here's another one where he says the only people in favour of Qatar care less about human rights than they do about united
Stop lying or pretending that you didn't say what you said or acted the way you did for weeks. I don't even have an issue with your position, not even with your gentrification motivated anti qatari angle. But don't lie about your position or attitude toward others, it's just sad.
I am literally baffled how you have equated my posts there to any kind of moral crusade. You have found me calling people who support Mason Greenwood immoral and me insulting people who were calling people moral police. You’ve imagined my stance and struggled to find any evidence for it .
Sure, if it makes you feel good I'm fine with that.
Let me make this clear right now. People who don’t want Qatar 100% have better standards of morals. That is absolutely true. I’m not ashamed to say that at all.
All of these quotes that you’ve quoted are absolutely not “I’m an example of moral virtue” at all. To act like people who don’t like Qatar have been lording it over others in this thread to any extent is preposterous.
Aaaand the shark gets jumped.
What if they don’t want Qatar cuz they’re racist? Or xenophobic?
This is a country that voted for Brexit recently. It must be playing a part for a number of those fans.
Literally in the same post....
As I've posted before, since Saudi Arabia started seeking closer ties with the west, women have been given the right to drive, go out alone, restaurants aren't segregated. If we totally rejected Saudi culturally and told them to feck off until they share our values exactly none of these changes would have happened and millions of women in that country would be worse off. So in what way is it more moral to say we want to turn these countries more insular and totally reject any cultural ties, if it means things not improving in these countries?
How many of the ones who have stated that they will stop supporting the club, will actually do it?I'm rooting for the Qataris just for the sheer madness that will ensue from some posters
The more time passes the more I see Qatar as inevitable. And for me that’s just what I want and what I think is best for us.
Is it an update from Jim? Is it an update from Jassim?
No, it's just Wumminator spouting bollocks yet again.
No, it's just Wumminator spouting bollocks yet again.
Both of CFG's most high profile clubs have won their national leagues in the very recent past but don't let facts get in the way
Unfortunately there are no ethical billionaires mate: https://www.dw.com/en/ineos-founder... fossil,workers being hospitalized in Belgium.
“Ineos is a major fossil fuels user and has been involved in several environmental controversies over the years, from an oil leak in Norway to chemical leaks in France to a release of toxic gas which led to workers being hospitalized in Belgium”
One is Sportswashing, one is Greenwashing.
To answer your first question, you have to understand the power structure in these gulf states, one thing that super obvious is that the ruling family in Qatar (Al Thani) with the Emir at its helm hold total power in Qatar, Jassim is a distant cousin of the Emir and a member of the ruling family, and his father was a powerful figure during the reign of the former Emir. Jassim is also known to have grown up with the current Emir (Tamim) and they went to boarding school in the UK, not necessarily in the same time/class/cohort, but they are only 2 years apart in age.
The Emir of Qatar has basically a final say in all matters, including who holds positions of power in public and private sector (most of major corporations are either wholly owned by the state or majority owned by the state or it's investment arm QIA), Jassim is a chairman of one of the biggest banks in Qatar, he is appointed there with the Emir's blessings, so in terms of links/connections to the royal family, he is very much connected.
As for if the bid is a state bid with Jassim as the face/figurehead, that can be debated, but in my humble view, it is most likely something that Jassim most likely wants to do on his own, but it requires at the very least the Emir's implied approval/tacit approval, if the Emir objects to it, Jassim would defer to his ruler, even if Jassim was using his own money/family's money.

What is the share price and is it what wexpect to be, or has dropped dramatically?
If they only care about United, then Brexit should be irrelevant, no? The Brexit stuff is a moral argument, I think you should be gracious and call them paragons of virtue as well. It's just that they have different moral values.
Well said, I agree.
He'll have a good understanding of misery and pain then. Sounds like the perfect man for us.
It's interesting that one side took offense to a post that painted negatively both sides.
I didn't take offense to any of it. Your descriptions both seem pretty silly, but only one of them inconsistent. My impression of you is that you're pretty interested in inconsistency.
No one he taken offence to it, it’s just wrong.
It's the weekend, and a holiday one at that, the stock exchange is closed until Tuesday
Its close to where it was pre-Reuters report - meaning, the market has not bought the rumor the Glazers have decided to negotiate exclusively with Qatar.
To be fair, whereas you have sometime been slightly overly critical of people who support Qatar, JPRouve has been in here consistently insulting those who have tried to present ethical considerations and has literally multiple times indicated he hates people who don’t want Qatar to take over.
That's interesting. I indicated that I hate people based on the idea that they don't want Qatar?
It's interesting that you took offense to a post that painted negatively both posters.
That's not what was stated
But that's what was widely inferred by the report, which is one of the factors that suddenly drove the share price up a whopping 2 dollars within 5 minutes.
What exactly is your goal here other than trying to condescend to people and put them down in an attempt to feel better about yourself?
