Seems to be a clear divide on the Qatari subject. I do feel as though the story about them looking to invest around 10% in an epl club has been floating around longer.
Necks are well and truly on the line with certain journalists.

doubtful once you take inflation into account

Not relatively speaking. Ronaldo alone would have been an equivalent deal to any Mbappe one - he smashed the world record by about £30m, a record which they only smashed themselves a few weeks earlier on Kaka. Benzema at £30m also had, at that time, probably less than 10 more expensive transfers in the world. When that summer was completed, they had broken the world record twice. It was bigger spending than buying Mbappe.
And even then - someone has to buy Mbappe. He has a year left on his deal, if he wants to leave, he has to play somewhere. There's been a lot of talk of Liverpool. If they bought him what will everyone say? Or if they bought Bellingham for £120m? This isn't oil money, it's just a big club acting like a big club.
Nope, it would be a top player joining the biggest club in the biggest league. Nothing remotely 'suspicious' about it.
When's the deadline?
Need to pin this man’s posts. Apparently he is well in with those who run PSG or the fund behind them.
He is.
Is there anyway to listen to this from the start?
“Go hard or go home”.
Once they’d explained the misunderstanding and he’d popped it back in, it was actually quite a productive meeting
Next Friday. But it's being reported as soft deadline.
Ironic that glazers want proof of funds in a sale involving Manchester United
Thanks.
Could be rehashing but the story of separate entities is getting leaked out now
Where were they in 1932 for the Munich Olympics!!!
The problem is everyone has blood on their hands. Ratcliffe is a Brexiteer, a tax-dodging fracker, whose businesses are killing the environment that will impact generations to come.
Ironically it's the Glazers who don't seem to have such accusations labelled on them as human rights abusers, environmental frackerist etc.
In all honesty 200m would be cheap for Mbappe. He's a far better footballer than Ronaldo ever was, and Ronaldo cost 80m back in 2009 + that was seen as cheap in retrospect!
In today's market where Enzo and Grealish are fetching 100m, Mbappe's true value is probably somewhere in the region of 300m.
QIA or QSI... that is the question.
It’s a private fund.
The false equivalences being drawn on this topic are amazing.Where were they in 1932 for the Munich Olympics!!!

This post is presented to you by the Qatar Ministry of PR. Thread's a true gold mine already
There’s a degree of scepticism around funds and entities like that, the suggestion being that even if it is, to all intents and purposes, structured as a separate entity, it is essentially a vehicle for control by the state and the monies held in the fund and the freedom to use them requires external approval.
How true that is, I have no idea.
I think this is the case
Mike Keegan and Ben Jacobs are very confident this is what it is though, of course in the background there will be government links etc but on paper it’s not linked to their official funds.
Just like the PIF

Okay mate.
QSIA
QSI vs QIA
Hello I’m QIA, Yes that will do. I come from ... Someplace far away
I'm on his Twitter space. He has made it very clear as what's what. Quite good.
Yeah I get that, I’m just worried where it all stops once that barrier is broken. Then you really are reliant on having a super rich owner to compete
I could get onboard with that,whenever I hear minority stake it always screams Glazers staying
Ugh kindly feck off US consortiums
