I think the ETH fear is misguided.
1) New owners don’t just come and sack managers. Hughes was given time & mone, Bruce (crap as he is) was given time. Roman didn’t sack Claudio straight away it’s only because Mourinho became the golden boy.
2) Sometimes there’s a “must have manager” for City it was Pep, Mourinho in 03/04. Klopp when he was at Dortmund, Naglesmann before joining Bayern. If ETH wasn’t at United and the takeover happened, who would be the current “must have manager” for a big club, it’d ETH and he’s already here.
Yeah he was at Sandhurst
I always just thought he was a fan of the PL from a far, but this gives a totally different perspective.
He probably understands English culture better than the Glazers.
What’s interesting as well about all of this is beIN Sports
They’ve have inside information on all the Premier League TV bidders in their regions during auctions

They were devastating at Dortmund together
You make very good points here about the manager situation. The only one I worry about is Zidane still being on the market
Ignorant post.
He was at Harrow before Sandhurst.
Not British made but greatly British influenced during his young ages probably? Manutd is part of the influence as it seems.
Probably gonna end up looking stupid but would think someone with such a strong military background is gonna endorse Erik's discipline
THIS forum is one of the worst for religious views? Bloody hell, which magical internet sites are you on?
This forum is overall incredibly tolerant.
The only person who might be fearful for his job is Arnold. But as we are in ta positive trajectory I suspect there won't be any changes in the short term.
He will be asked to present his plans going forward for United in front of the new owners, under different budgetary scenarios
Reddit is the place to go for civil discussion.
Okay so if a ‘westernised’ rich Qatari fan wants to buy the club, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest that he is likely not amongst the most intolerant of Qataris?
What is his role in the regime? Does he sit at the very top? Even if he does tbh, I think an expectation that he must go Prince Harry renegade style is a bit of a stretch. These things don’t just change like that, and it’s likely an incremental process rather than one man overturning everything the country stands for.
Had forgotten that,probably used to wear Utd shirts as well. The trouble is the image of his country has put many people off already.
Yes I never believed even a few years ago we would potentially be state owned,however am prepared to give them a chance to show we what they can do with this club.
Yeah if you believe that article yesterday everyone working behind the scenes will be given a chance to prove themselves. IF they don't buy into Murtough's plans then fully expect us to appoint a Mitchell/Edwards pretty quickly.
Your point is based on the assumption that people who stop supporting the club are doing so to cleanse themselves and/or to feel superior. Some may be doing that but most will be doing simply what feels right to them.
This isn't the thread for this type of discussion though as has been said clearly.
Rumour has it at Harrow he had a Denis Irwin bed spread.
Qatar has acted as an intermediary role between western and Iran, taliban, etc. They also are thought backing Arab Spring movement. Very complicated I would say. I don’t know why people think they are the worst to own manutd. Actually no one knows ahead if an incoming new owner is good or bad.
I’ve said it before. I guarantee Qatar did their research into this whole United bid. They’ve probably got opinions here, there and everywhere from lawyers, governing bodies and experts in the field on carrying this out. That’s why they seem so confident enough to just let it flow to the press, because they know they’re going to win. There’s nothing unexpected going to come up to make them look silly and deny them.
My feeling with them is they have the money to fund a new stadium and new training ground in the long term, on top of funding the first team in the short to medium term.
One of the difficult bits is already done for them in having ETH as manager. They’d be out of their minds to even contemplate getting rid of him right off the bat. Even City gave Mark Hughes time.
I wouldn’t worry about what’s happened at PSG over the years. If anything PSG have now ditched the Galactico route and are now going down the route of being the French Bayern, where homegrown talent is more the focus.

That's cheap. One beds here are £900 pm.
Bravo
I wonder how much difference has ETH made to the projected final price than say if United was to be sold a year ago? Half a billion?
Surprised I haven't seen a tweet that says Qatar are monitoring, preparing, deciding, ready to submit an offer. We are already off to a good start.
That's just one tiny box room in a shared house. I've actually seen it. It's just wrong.
…and signing Mbappe for a non-ridiculous fee most probably. Especially considering the money would be coming out of the same pot! Would be Interesting to see what kind of fee it would be as the fee would have a bearing on FFP.
One of the negatives could be that we turn into PSG. An team full of egos, managers having no authority , players not respecting them and running straight to owners, having no love for the badge, no spirit and chemistry on the pitch etc.
But I hope this negative would turn into a positive for us in the sense that the Qataris have learned their lesson from this kinda failed psg project and now understands what not to do at least and how the ethos and dna of the club are very important to create a team that performs on the pitch than buying bunch of individual stars and hoping to rule football.

Hopefully it gets completed by mid March so that we have few months to prepare for new season transfer window.
I dont think Mbappe will even want to try here. He is Real bound and personally I don't want him either when we have Rashford on the left. Messi on the other hand 
Realistic options would be Kane and Jude.

I'd guess they will sell to whoever makes the best offer (and gets signed off by the FA).
Given it will all be essentially profit for them I'd be surprised if they decided to keep the club barring theior being no serious offer.
I, and many I know have lived in the region, and it is all entirely true. You have to be deluded to think otherwise. You can say you don't think these issues are important but denying they exist is ridiculous.
Well to start with, beheading isn’t a thing in Qatar. That’s a Saudi thing. It’s only mentioned in here because people think all “towel-head” Arabs are the same.
The scenario of this take over is epic. We have a legit source of money and can spend crazy sums of money and still meet the FFP. Clearing the debt investing in the infrastructure, stadium and training facilities will be handled swiftly. This is a new dawn and it's scaring the s*it out of our rivals as they know we were shackled by those glazzeres leeches for a long time. not any more ...
I genuinely think we could have won a title with ten hag under the glazers. Think we will definitely will now.
I'm from the USA, and that sure seems like a fact.
I don't know. I think with competent non glazer ownership we would certainly be better and probably consistently finish top 3/4 but we can't compete with City in the market.
That and our infrastructure is just breaking apart.
