We're between a rock and a hard place to be fair. The idea of the Glazers's staying is sickening.
That's what would piss me the most.

With you on one and three but Neville? I'd rather sit next to a car alarm for an hour.
Nothing for City fans? A couple of buses maybe enough tbfDunno. If it's monorail/maglev then yes. They did similar for the Qatar WC. It's going to be red and black.
The scale at which both organizations operate at will bring the game into disrepute should the authorities not impose strict measures especially the inter movement of players between the two clubs. For example, if the Qafari come in and clear the debt, both the acquisition and transfer one, we could have a clean slate FFP wise so whats to stop us buying Bellingham and immediately loaning him to PSG or them loaning us a midfielder the moment Eriksen broke down?None of these are the European powerhouses that are PSG and Man United.
I will indulge in some muppetry and suggest that if these have started writing letters it means the sale is going ahead full steam.
Unless you can find an article in the laws that prohibits ownership of multiple clubs only if they both are included in a list of powerhouses (and show me this list), I don’t think that would matter.None of these are the European powerhouses that are PSG and Man United.
yep, I cannot wait for us to be taken over. I hope its someone rich enough to build us the state of the art training facility and stadium too.
Ten Hag also needs to be backed with whoever he wants, he has shown me enough that he is the right man to get us the big trophies.

Since when are PSG considered a European powerhouse, if they are then City must be as well because the have won the same European trophy onceNone of these are the European powerhouses that are PSG and Man United.
Was just going to ask the same question.Since when are PSG considered a European powerhouse, if they are then City must be as well because the have won the same European trophy once
So if they are then the definition of a European powerhouse is basically how much money you have not what you have achievedWas just going to ask the same question.
They weren't considered full stop until their takeover.
You said there are precedents, but there hasn't been one like this where the same entity owned two big clubs. I looked at the clubs under the City Group and none of them are big, with New York FC probably the biggest.Which is irrelevant from a legal standpoint. If that's the argument then it's highly unethical and subjective.

From the looks of things UEFA aren't as serious with this but it has the potential to bring down the game to more farcical levels. If they are to be allowed to take over United then intertrade between the to clubs should be suspended as a condition.
That could be the same with any team. We’re only 7 points above 5th!We more than likely will be. It's a BS logic to allow it just because we aren't clashing in one season.
jim nearly got into the EL this season if they didn’t lose their cup final last yearPretty concerning no one even thinks Jim can get Nice into the CL.

Even if there aren't any legal standpoints to block the takeover, whose to say whether it could come back to bite us in the arse in the future.
Stop mentioning the game! There is no TLOU game! It's completely original!My sources are telling me that there is no Qatari bid. They have an account here and after browsing the forum they were shocked that so many people thought it was acceptable to make comments about the original game in the show thread for TLOU.
No shit, the French league is about as exciting as my cat's litter tray.
The hilarious thing in all this is I bet the French authorities were delighted with the Qatari takeover of PSG and all the stardom its brought to their capital, not realising its led to the essential death of their league.
In a footballing perspective Paris has hardly been a powerhouse city. Yes PSG have had some stars prior to the Qatari takeover, but compared to the other major cities in Europe its hardly a massive footballing legacy compared to the clubs you'd think in Milan, Madrid, London, Manchester, etc. Only other major city I can think of that's also been lacking in footballing prowess is Berlin.Reading this you would think that Paris is some random place.
Brings back memories of the 24hr and 48hr big news.Big day tomorrow.
You have an issue with United buying a black french player?
It will be opposite. Glazers want to sell, Qatari group want to buy. This will be quick. In a month we will have new owner.it's a conundrum for Club. Glazers clearly want to sell to highest bidders. They are not going to make any investments until the sale is complete. Highest bidders are Qatari group. this will drag on and they will move on to other clubs.
The scenes when they realise they've written to the most corrupt man in football to ask for him to say no to more money.
They're all sitting at the same tableEven more than Gianni?
There's a bunch of people who like to not be the silent majority. They have to voice their opinion so it's on record, then they can say 'we told you so' down the line if it goes to shit.Read this on Reddit
Worth noting, FairSquare's activity is focused only on Gulf states' involvement in sports. Like, all of it, they have an extremely narrow field of interest.
anybody else know if this is true? Seems a strange subject to dedicate yourself to and even then have zero impact on the process.
