Getting to the point now where I don’t think they actually want to sell. I think they did it just to keep fans off their back for a bit. There a joke

This implies Beckham founded a club and personally steered them through several divisions on a shoestring, with Messi joining for another reason than one last massive payday.

They've missed out on play-offs, having finished in the bottom two and Becks had to embarrassingly sack his equally under-qualified best mate's kid brother.

After the previous decade, United need better management than unqualified numpties making marquee signings, cronyism and the subsequent poor results.

Furthermore, Pele is the greatest player who has lived.

All very sad, but this is about as much as we've had since the Curtis story in August.

Probably all on the back of Beckham talking the other day though.
 
Will Nine Two Foundation appoint a Sporting Director with no links to the club ?It would be a big mistake if they don’t. Fans are massively underestimating how quick you can turn Man Utd around. Just get the recruitment team right and you’re 40% there in fixing the club. Qatar have to build a recruitment team similar to Man City and Liverpool
 


I remember this account was spoken about a few months ago. I can't remember if people decided he was a spokesperson or full of crap but thought I'd share anyway.

Full of crap. Someone found his posts on that account from a few years ago and it’s just an attention seeking child.

He will certainly Sheikh things up. Sorry.

No major sources reporting anything past Beckham atm, most of our updates are from Qatar based posters, alas.

Im tired of thread bumps citing these news. It's annoying when posters want to make up a stir again.
 
Some solid information tonight from genuine sources it seems! Well, they think they're genuine now they have that little blue tick they paid for haha.

I don't think anything has changed, but it's the hope that kills you

I’m not saying it’s a great job or if he should even be hired nor did I say anywhere it was on a shoe string. Beckham basically revolutionised American soccer twice. He was the one given a discount to start up a franchise, he’s the one who got the consortium of owners together and he’s the one who reached out to Apple, Addidas and the league itself to wave it though. Say what you want but so far in his owners career it’s been proven many times that people want to associate their business and brand with Beckham. A CEO that has shown much reach would be very beneficial to an organisation, it’s not like we have all these CEOs moving fro club to club anyway, people who get these jobs have little experience as a CEO before they get the job at football clubs. Beckham would have a lot more relevant, real world experience than the vast, vast majority of people who get parachuted into these positions.
You’re all adding unnecessary parameters that doesn’t apply to the real world but I’m sure United will be scouting the best that Amsterdam university have to offer for the next CEO.
Innit

All these latest updates are from absolute nonsense accounts. I seriously hope no one’s getting their hopes up over this.

It's just because we are getting into the half way point of the month and Custis said it would be done by the end of October. Chancers getting their posts in.

Top clubs aren’t Looking at VDS and asking about his qualifications from dingleberry university, they’ll be looking at his results at Ajax, what he did wrong and what he did correctly and they’ll do the same with Beckham for whatever role might be offered to him
VDS went from marketing director at Ajax to CEO in 4 years. Say what you want about Beckham but owning a club is a lot more relevant to the CEO position than a candidates experience as a marketing director.

Assuming Qatar win and that’s not a guarantee as we’ve seen with false dawns before, the stronger rumour is David Gill would be CEO and David Beckham on the board as an international Ambassador or international marketing and recruitment director, all be it a more hands on EXEC role they create a title and he’ll be the face of the club, almost replacing our beloved Bobby Charlton who recently got diagnosed with dementia.

David Gill is beloved by the United fan base, in his early 60’s good friends with Naser Al-Khelaifi and sits on the UEFA Board already, compare A Management team of David Gill, Beckham as the link to Paul Mitchel as the new sporting Director to our current morons of Richard Arnold, John Murtourgh and Darren Fletcher who can stay as technical director for under 21’s and youth teams.

That’s what Tom the journalist was saying on two recent podcasts that Qatar want Alex Ferguson as leading Ambassador and David Gill as a pair of safe hands to run be behind the scenes with maybe a Qatari MD we’ll see, it’s all hypothetical at the moment

There's a lot of noise right now after the Beckham interview. Is he really going to do the "we'll see ..." bit if there isnt something going on? Especially since the Qataris look like absolute mugs if they dont get it. You wouldnt think Beckham would poke the bear, and if they arent confident in taking us over.

Quite possibly because Rio did
 
Far too much smoke now for this to be anything other than an imminent announcement that the club has indeed been sold to Qatar, seems inevitable.
 
Calm down people, nothing is known, certain yet. Just be patient and play the game the way Glazers play it - slowly.
