You aren’t cheering them on. Get this through your heads people. You have no control over who owns the club. It does not matter. We support the team.
Exactly. It’s like the situation currently - you support Manchester United football club, not the Glazer family.
Yeah reckon he will come over for some big games as well and he will be very much welcomed
6x that in 2023 so far...
Its still borrowing that needs paying back which means instead of every £1 going into the team some pennies will have to be taken out of every £1 to pay back this borrowing.
In Emir we trust?
Call it faking sponsorship, financial doping or whatever, but it is something outside of the rules that gives City an advantage above all the other clubs in the league.
It’s is cheating pure and simple.
So he came through the Royal Military Academy then,he will definitely be endorsing of Erik's discipline that's been instilled in this squad then
What do you mean by money "going into the team"? As in money from where?
If you mean the club's money, you are incorrect. If you mean INEOS' money, it's rather irrelevant.
Actually didn't realise how many people the US executes.
They needed to do that. We are a bigger name and can attract genuine sponsors. Stop trying to come up with scenarios that likely won't apply to us. We are not Manchester City, we are bigger than them in all aspects.
Yeah we don't need to create sponsorships although will have to get some new ones after Glazers lost us some
The USA is 85,000% bigger than Qatar so I actually expected it to be higher.
Not when it’s INEOS debt. That’s the whole point otherwise why refinance it?
The debt will pass from the Glazers to the new owner whoever that is anyway as part of the sale as it is currently United’s debt, not the Glazers. I wouldn’t be surprised if INEOS got some sort of tax incentive from taking on the debt too.
Debt isnt necessarily a dirty four letter word we should all fear.
You just know they would have been overjoyed if ME had bought Liverpool and not a peep from them when Saudi bought Newcastle.
Yeah until they rename Old Trafford the Emirates or something. It's always gonna stick in the craw just as I'm sure it does with City fans. Of course I will still watch but it won't be the same.
The Glazers valuation is irrelevant. The value of the club is only what a willing buyer will pay. And that would have come right down if the ME buyers were out of the equation. Ratcliffe was obviously hoping that would happen but it seems that it hasn't.
Of course we are cheering them on. That's what sportswashing is. They get the cultural credibility of owning one of sport's biggest brands. That's exactly why they wasted billions on the World Cup. Already this forum is full of people excusing or demanding we overlook their barbarous regime. That's exactly what they are buying.

Amen
What does check to good works mean?Simply that it’ll get ratified?
Basically, everything will all be good from UEFA's end.
Will Bruno be wearing one of those robes like Messi did when he lifts the Premier League/ Champions League trophy?
I think the chance of UEFA not ratifying the Qatar deal are close to zero
So I guess the Emir is a chancer too? After all he has been reported as thinking United value is more like £4.5bn. That’s only a measly half a bill more.
What a nonsense comparison.
I'm here for it totally

Hahahaha. So true.
People will twist anything to fit their narrative though.
The prospect of being owned by Quatar, along with the potential return of MG, will be the end for me and many others I reckon.
I admire you walking away if that's what you decide to do,will admit Greenwood potentially coming back doesn't sit well with me because of that audio recording.
I've already got mine with the United logo on from the megastore.
Adds a bit of class to proceedings

Tweet says 4 billion dollars, not pounds. So around 3,3bn pounds. A substantial difference between the two valuations.
Couldn’t buy us a decade ago hence why they pursued to purchase PSG which was more accessible (literally the Glazers didn’t want to sell back then). Want to 100% own the club outright. Confident everything will be good from UEFA’s side if they do win the bid to own the club.
I‘m against capital punishment in any case, but in Qatar there is not a fair process.
Reads to me that they will need to work Uefa to get around the illegal aspects of owning two clubs.
I just don't like it.
Yeah I have put a link up on page 268 to the article outlining our original interest in 2011
No they can‘t. They cannot own two clubs that compete against each other.
Personally, I'd like us to be owned by Mordor. Sauron makes that Saudi guy who dismembers people with a bonesaw look like a complete pansy.
Salzburg & Leipzig are both owned by Red Bull. Plus as per Jamie Jackson’s article yesterday, it looks like it is two separate entities rather than the same.
I didn't think you could find a more horrific thread on the internet at the moment than the Nicola Bulley one on Twitter but here it is. 335 pages, about 4 of them relating to football if you're lucky, the rest just the same stuff on constant repeat.
