I’m sorry if you want United to be a sports washing gulfstate project just because the reason you support them is that they were the most successful team at the time and you want that again NOW, I really genuinely do not understand why you don’t support City? As clearly you don’t see what the club has always been about?The sole 100% ownership bud has been withdrawn & people are celebrating the potential of the Glazers staying on because. . . Human Rights because of course Petro-Chemical companies don’t devestate communities.
The hypocrisy on this site never ceases to outdo itself.
Don't know why some of you are so upset. If Qatar wanted the club then they would have got the deal done. They didn't.
But obviously he’s the driving force. Would they feel the same if he wasn’t aroundWe’d be owned by INEOS, not Ratcliffe himself
These are the people I feel the worst about. Those who had contorted themselves morally and then have to try and go back to insulting Newcastle and City like it means anything.Not gonna lie, I’m gutted.
I’d done the mental gymnastics and accepted that being a sports washing operation was the only way we’d return to any sporting success, with appropriate investment in infrastructure.
Whilst I’m glad that we won’t have to become said sports washing operation, this is condemning us to also-rans for decades to come.
Newcastle will win the PL before we do next.
Spurs ground is worth vandalizing. Old Trafford will be spared out of pity.Isn't it reported Spurs ground has been vandalised. We could be next.
We don't have a soul though.Football club having a soul > loadsa money.
'Cos we dont have loadsa cash?
I love it when people say that. The club had 1 league title win in their entire history before Qatar. Their claim to fame in the last 40 years was having Ronaldinho play for them before the sale.
This myth that Qatar have failed with PSG is fascinating
Qatar literally owns it's riches to their land fertile with oil.The sole 100% ownership bud has been withdrawn & people are celebrating the potential of the Glazers staying on because. . . Human Rights because of course Petro-Chemical companies don’t devestate communities.

Bloody hell. Been dreaming of this day for months and I’m stuck in bed ill.
will have a few pints on Burton Road tomorrow to celebrate if I feel better.
Football club having a soul > loadsa money.
You could be right about that. Our Jimbo will probably try to sell chemical weapons or something to both sides.Mmm its unnecessary controversy. When i read the statement from Qatar, first thing that came to mind is that what if they get involved in some future conflict? Better to not be owned by a state at all...
Exactly, we are Mcdonalds now anywayWe don't have a soul though.
Oh dear.
This. It is absolutely the worst scenario coming to fore.Worst scenario possible. Wouldn't be too upset if Ratcliffe had bought us outright but 25 percent with the Glazers still owning us is a nightmare.
A 25% stake and the Glazers staying helps nobody.
Don’t cry for me AyobaaaaaaaToday, I cry.
Today, I cry.
Because they continuously offered underneath the valuation of the Glazers, as absurd as their valuation was. It’s not like Qatar couldn‘t afford itThey bid way above the value of the club and stayed in the process for months, how did they not want it?
Because we have a stadium crumbling down from years of neglect and no hope of investing in renovating it, because the club is saddled with so much fecking debt we have to scrounge for loan players, because we have a horrible ownership structure where two cnuts in Florida have to approve literally everything from furniture purchases onwards, because everyone's agreed for years that the club's problems will only keep getting worse while the Glazers are around ... and now they're not going anywhere.
We're going to be a midtable club at best while they remain the owners.
Jesus ChristNot that I wanted the sheikh, but we're just gonna have to hope the Glazers die in an accident or a mass shooting or something.
These are the people I feel the worst about. Those who had contorted themselves morally and then have to try and go back to insulting Newcastle and City like it means anything.
Oh well, they’ll move on I’m sure but there will be more than a few red faces going forward potentially.
It's 25 percent of their shares. They only own 69 percent dont they? So it's effectly 17.25 percent overallA 25% stake and the Glazers staying helps nobody.
