Every day always seems to be some sort of holiday in Qatar or USA.
Is England the only Country that does any work?

I have lost faith that club will be sold at all, season is also kinda ruined by this already
Don't even care who buys at this point, just want these disgusting Succession characters as far away from the Club as possible

Somebody dump some tea in the river at Tampa ffs
Yeah does feel like that's the case
Relax lads.
The day has just started as I have just got up.

That might make sense if owning the land was a hurdle to fracking but it isnt, as they just compulsory purchase order the land. Inner Manchester has never been proposed as a test site for obvious reasons.
Its banned by local authority and it's banned by government as it stands. But sure despite that they're masterminding a plan to frack OT.
this thread is wild
Dsfr
Yep. They're not going to purchase United to frack Carrington or wherever. And yeah it's been banned since 2019. They've tried buying Chelsea and a large chunk of Barca, so it's nowt to do with wanting to dig holes.
He will need the local councils to do a complete U-turn.... Unless he does what American franchise owners do. Threaten the local councils/city officials with the threat of rebuilding a new stadium somewhere in greater Manchester unless they approve the permits.
In some ways the Qataris hold the cards.
The Glazers will not get another opportunity to sell the club after this fiasco. I can't see any other parties being interested after the manner in which this sale has already been conducted.
So we are down to either selling to Sir Jim or the Qataris OR not selling at all.
If they choose not to sell at all then they really need to have a PR spin on it otherwise the fanbase would become toxic. Possibly bring some investment on board whilst they retain majority control or phase their exit over a number of years neither of which will placate most of the fanbase.
If I was the Qataris I would threaten the Glazers with going public unless it's resolved fast. Will the Glazers feck up a £ 5 billion dollar deal?

The Glazer’s are so happy to own a club with such a subdued fanbase. Imagine them trying this in Italy or somewhere with the ultra’s.
That wouldn’t go well for them. Sure they might be able to take a club for a ride but might lose a few fingers and toes in the process.

We're Manchester United Fracking Club now. What a wild turn this thread took.
Yeah they don't feel threatened whatsoever
Today is the day... that Rio arrives in Tier 4
Yeah needs to shut up now
Some local news in Qatar (@alraya_n) is running a front page story, saying that they expect the deal to be signed off by the Glazers in a matter of hours....

YAWN we have been here before
i live on hopium...It's owned by Jassim's dad innit?
That will be guaranteed if the Glazers stay on in any capacity. It is not much, but I will not go to see them again until they have totally left.
Just remember how that last Qatari source ended up being hijacked by someone in Cardiff
Yeah even this one refers to "reports in the media", without actual details of who/what.
Yeah and who is Gllaser but what's the betting Utd fan channels like Utd Stand/Utd View completely ignore that part of the article
Has a 19 year old kid in Wales been tweeting again? These Qatari editors...
Al Raya (Arabic: الراية; also known as Arrayah; The Banner) is an Arabic daily newspaper published in Doha, Qatar. It is semi-official newspaper of the country and is one of the five leading Qatari dailies.[1] As for Arabic dailies published in the country Al Raya is among the three major newspapers along with Al Sharq and Al Watan.[2]
I mean it's looked all but done for Qatar for weeks we get to this point and then nothing ever materialises
I'm tired.

Gulf Publishing & Printing Company. The (short) article below:
Just a respin of the Bloomberg article it seems that they're confident they've won and are circulating to the 'inner circle'.
Being from Wales, I can confirm its not in welsh.
I feel like the Qatar bid is the only one that can be completed so long as it is on the table. Rejecting it in favour of SJR gets the Glazers sued to hell and back. And the Glazers must sell the club, whatever they might spin. So it's a waiting game for Qatar. But they could be waiting a year.
If this is more fake news published in Qatar then they really will be ridiculed around the global world, Qatar letting local publisher print this without inside information and the Glazers approval is seriously risky, close the thread for 1 week so we can all stop speculating, all we ever wanted was the Glazers just to leave, take your money from whom ever and just leave, they should be barred from ever being allowed in the stadium again!
Yeah they can't afford to lose because like you say they would be ridiculed across the world
They aren't waiting a year and don't blame them
Do these Glazer siblings have kids? (who would bang them it’s only the work of having boatloads of money).
Anyway, at this rate, we better start gauging their interest in selling the club.

So Raine worked with Ineos for months on a deal that was never going to work
Why do you feel it is blatantly obvious? I don't mean anything snarky by the way, I've not been in this thread in a while and I'm wondering if I've missed any important updates
Worked with Ineos to get Qatar to up the bid?
I misread those tweets as "Manchester United Takeover frustration in hours..."
