The only ‘massive shame’ is how Utd has been bled and sucked dry by a family of crooks for 20 years.

Come back and comment when your club has been run into the ground for 2 fecking decades.

Spot on.

Nobody outside of United cared when the Glazers bought and destroyed us. It was just 20 years of banter. So they can all get fecked when someone who is not going to destroy the club buys us.
 
We are 100% going to get dickheads with teatowels on their heads outside the megastore waving Qatari flags.

They'd be idiots then, since the red and white 'tea towel' is Saudi, White is for Emirati and Qatari
 
My apologies. I meant the hype/dream is over.

I reckon we'll be sold within 2 weeks, nobody benefits from drawing this out longer and the price of United won't go up as they continue to run it into the ground. Delaying until a new season does nothing for them.
 
The word Tea Towel is a derogatory term, if your ignorant of the real word for it, google it.
I believe he's using it in the context of what idiot fans would actually be wearing. I dont think he was using it in a racial sense.

Shouldn’t be using it, full stop
 
Yeah, I'm going to take a stab in the dark and assume that the dickhead City and Newcastle fans didn't track down actual traditional headgear when they were celebrating their respective takeovers.
 
"Breaking story" followed by some sort of denial in a few hours. Rinse and repeat.

This is why all news reports should be taken with a pinch of salt. We won't know until an official announcement is made, and when it happens, it will probably occur quite suddenly.

Tomorrow then, why not

Exactly. At this stage of the proceedings the only big update or news left to break is whether the glazers have accepted an offer or are going down the minority investment route. Until that happens everything else is just filler.
 
This is tortuous at this point. Like being stuck in a cage and, every now and then, one of the Glazers comes over to poke us in the balls with a sharp stick and whispers "I think you're a cnut".
 
Where’s the guy from the times? Waiting for him to confirm Bloombergs info is nonsense.

He will rear his ugly head later today most likely along with the other British journos to pour cold water all over this story too
 
I do think the thread title is giving people who weren't around earlier a sense that something rather more significant was learned than was.

They don’t care, only way they are selling is if they get £6bn and then you still wouldn’t put it past them to stay. The way I see it is

1. Something was agreed 2 weeks ago, SJ incorporated and set up his company in UK on the 15th June, takes 10-15 days to do all the necessary checks but no paperwork signed just a verbal agreements, multiple leaks and then Raine group reminded Qatar of NDA’s

2. In the last week Glazers have backtracked and said we might stay on accounts, revenue is up, SJ called their bluff on SJR so now it’s we might stay ?

3. SJ are expected to win so they might pick up the phone or they’ve done this already and offered more money in last few days to get this finally done just to save they embarrassment of the whole Arab world thinking they are the man united owners then to be told by the Glazers that they are not.

If it is to be SJ and Qatar then it has to be done within the next 2 weeks or they are staying!
 
I think a lot of people won't want to publicly admit it, but you have to respect the glazers in a way.

No, you don't. Nothing they've done is in the fan's or the club's best interests...only their own. This is being dragged out only because they don't give even the slightest s*** about the club. Just trying to wring a couple more dollars out of whomever the winning bidder is to be. There's nothing laudable about what they're doing.

Nine Two Holdings, it's called, right? Where did you read this?
 
Is this Schrodinger fella a German international we just signed? Can he play up front?
 
I appreciate how you feel and it echoes my own thoughts completely but I think if you're honest with yourself, deep down, you actually do have a bit of respect for their ruthlessness and that's understandable mate.

I really don't. I just don't operate like that. I'm in sales for my line of work but I'm not someone who is out for the kill and don't care about the trail of blood I leave behind. I think what they've done and what they're doing is beyond just being ruthless business people. It's one thing to ignore the noise and do what's best...it's another thing when they, time after time after time after time, show that they're only operating in their interests and couldn't give less of a crap about Manchester, the fans, or the club.
 
People can often be confused by their simultaneous feelings of disgust and admiration, sometimes one comes from the other. I'm sure you detest the glazers for what they have done over the years, but no doubt you also recognise with some respect, the feat they have pulled off.

Being born to Malcom Glazer?

They’ve wasted billions that if they’d spent more wisely they could now sell Utd for 10b.

They’re the equivalent of someone that gets given a Lamborghini, and can’t drive it properly, never cleans it or taxes it and has accumulated 10k in parking fines and now has to sell the Lambo or get ‘financial help’ to get it refurbished.

That’s all they’ve achieved, nothing more.

They’ve disgraced themselves on the global stage and are an embarrassment.
