Hey, what do you mean, "made up?" He merely said he "was told." He does not even broadly suggest by whom.
Top tier reporting. This way, he doesn't have to come out and say, "a source in my 7-a-side league told me..."Been saying it for months.
The Qataris will buy off previous legends in order to talk up the Qatari dictatorship.
We're Man United. We don't need David Beckham to introduce us to anyone.
A sad albeit predictable state of affairs. Probably more months to go as they mull Jim'll Wreck It's latest ploy, hoping 'Jassim' will up the state bid.

Everything is 90% done with enough subjectivity
This roast chicken is 90% done, it just needs to be slaughtered, plucked, washed and seasoned and cooked for 3 hours.
I actually thought Becks might become the chairman of United where he has a ceremonial role but is basically the face of the club for all intents and purposes, at least to begin with.
What that tweet says (true or not) sounds like those ministers without a portfolio.

Petition to rename the thread, "Club Ransom | Joel and Avram's Gambit."
If Sir Jim is that interested he’d be wise to wait for 9-2 to take over then offer additional investment to them , it would be quite the powerhouse.
It's funny going back to read Chelsea message boards when their sale process was taking place. They were irritated by Ratcliffe because they felt he was trying to drag it out...they had no idea how good they had it. 
When they made clear they have the funding and have very little point to look for investment?
Love to see Beckham back involved with the club
He is always an ambassador of us. I don't think any official title means anything. The man is running his own football club, that's where his focus will continue to be.
It will be largely a cerimonial role with Beckham taking the inaugural free kick every season
I think his comments over the weekend are perhaps opportunistic. However, he has clearly expressed that this club (like Romano, Neville) can't continue to function with this "noise around the club."
On a separate note, I remember people used to take the absolute piss out of David Beckham because of his accent and saying he is thick. Look at everything he has done since he has retired.

Beckham is one of Utds great number 7s, a major cog in that great team of '99 and personally would love to see him back at the club in some description.
If we can get him in some sort of role where he talks to potential transfers and tries to convince them to come to United, like Zidane used to do for Real, I think that would be hugely beneficial for us.
Any news from Bloomberg? They're 100% reliable aren't they?
Very strange that.
Share price below $19 again - some investment article that Yahoo Finance have on their website shows the following.

What of someone thinks that Sheikh Jassim is simply a front for a Qatar state bid?
I'm sure no one thinks the same guys that run PSG day to day would be running United.
Outlets starting to pick up on the point that @Woziak was making that the Annual Report is later than it has been in the last couple of years...

When did Zidane do that for real?
He talked Varane out of signing for us
In terms of PR and distraction, David Beckham is the number 1 draft pick in all of sport to have as your lead ambassador or "president" (i.e. one with little power, but maximum visual support.) If you are Qatar, and day one you go "here's David Beckham" then all the papers will be focused on the "David Beckham takes over United" angle. They'd play a blinder putting Beckham as the public face of the takeover.
He did a great job didn't he.
Also I don't think one incident constitutes as an actual role. I'm sure becks is also there to nudge players toward us if he felt he could influence it. We don't need to formalise a role for him
Share price is back to where it was pretty much before the news in June about Qatar being preferred bidder (when it jumped)
Yeah but you just asked for an example. I’m sure he talked to others, that’s just something that affected us
Ah see, I’m not just a pretty face, seriously though something has to happen either way, very soon because they have to let the NYSE know what’s going on!
They, the Qatari would not entertain any combined bid they want 100% control so they can conduct their business for the club in private without media leaks!
I'm not sure this is an indication of something going on. It is not like a takeover has to happen at the start of a financial year.
Is there a set deadline?
I think like you, this is all Stalling tactics from the Glazers, watch in the next 7 days rumours from British Press that INEOS 25% minority share is about to be concluded then we will say a 6th and final bid from SJ/92 Foundation and the whole cycle repeats again, with the exception this time that Qatari bid genuinely walk away by the middle of November and this time they will mean it?
And then INEOS renegotiate on the the minority offer ?
They do need to announce last years finances by middle of November, so let’s see what happens ?
Absolute horseshit. The take it or leave it bid happened in June for a start
I've believed in the "Wait until October/November" so I'm banking on some action over the next two months.
I'm guessing the longer that these results are kept from investors, it's a good indication that something is going on, or is likely to be going on
Plus didn't SJ up his bid after that final take it or leave it bid was put in anyway? So quite a bit has happened
Probably not as they were convinced we'd be Qatari owned by the end of the summer.
We’ll INEOS would have no issues next year as Nice play CL and united are either out or play European Conference League !
No.
