I’m just surprised there isn’t a poll in the caf about the different ownerships.

If you know this, then why don't you tell us what bids have gone in then Sky?
You can not take this man seriously. Every word he write should not be given the benefit of the doubt, there is a reason he used that term.
Any decent human being should bin this absolutely garbage journalist
Luckhurst should be banned.
So you’re saying you don’t want morally compromised people allowed near Man United?
What’s ETH accountable for exactly? He was at the club before the Qatari’s (should they takeover)..
I know. But they are currently the obvious favourites to become our owners, so it's still a legitimate question for a journalist to ask if they want to. It's not like asking now will stop them from being able to ask over and over again if the deal goes through.
Accountable for what?
I enjoy listening to him personally. I know people ridicule him but I think he's a genuine fan who shares a lot of similar opinions to me.
Agreed.
Broadcasters are just glad they will have a controversial topic to always bring up.
Surely someone will announce they’ve bid?
"3.5 billion guv, and you're robbing me"
I still think he’s getting it.What an absolute bellend question from an Arsenal supporting goon reporter!
Because they have no clue
They are pathetic.
The media has to inject politics into everything now a days, not surprised. He's a manager of a bunch of men running around in shorts kicking a little ball into a net, not an expert on global politics.
To be fair, that can be got from different sources. What bids have gone in comes from the bidders or the bank, but who hasn't bid can come from potential bidders by saying 'no we haven't'
So if Qatar ends up buying United, you want ETH to quit??? Good lord, some of you are so damn dramatic.
Inappropriate Behavior
Why though? Can they not wait?
There’s a sky interviewer asking that question and curiosity got the best of me

With a 400-person news operation backed by the UK’s BSkyB and a senior Abu Dhabi royal,
It’s shameless. It really is. Now I’m not for this takeover but the two faced nature of it all is absurd.
Side note what the feck with that link? they never question Citys outside activities. Have they ever asked Pep that question who actually made the choice to join an oil club and was not simply here when it was taken over?
Edit are they favourites or just the most PR savy?
His opinion on the current situation. He is just rightly pointing out the hypocrisy in the way United has been reported in the media in comparison to other clubs in the past.Care to provide a summary? Please
Whatever you think Phil his video is worth watching. Absolutely spot on about the media's and others hypocrisy.
Bizzare. Surprisingly calm today.
Calm before the storm.
Definitely. What the feck did she expect him to say? He’s got absolutely no say in who buys the club, not to mention they haven’t even submitted a bid yet.
She’s a daft agenda merchant like the rest of them. Terrified.
Tis only a soft deadline.
But I honestly think a deal has already been done. Its most likely from an ME entity.
The Glazers being over there a few months ago is just too much coincidence. Those vampires never leave their dungeon.

"While we appreciate your offer of £7 billion, it did not arrive until 10:01pm and therefore we have no choice but to accept the rival bid of £11.43 in loose change and a packet of polos."
Can someone link me to when she had a go at Eddie Howe with similar questions? Or Pep? Or when Gareth Southgate took England to Qatar for the world cup? Or when she takes money from Rubert Murdoch to do that job? When the feck did Sky Sports grow a moral compass?
It hasn't.
As with a lot of questions journalists ask, she probably expected the exact sort of non-answer he gave. But they ask anyway, for the rare times the person they're asking will say more.
If ETH had said pretty much anything in response to that question, it would be headline news. So from the journalists POV it's worth the few seconds.
If you guys think that was an out of bounds question then you have a rough ride ahead if the deal goes through.
It has
He's ridiculed because he acts like he knows shit when he doesn't. Journalists aren't there to give their opinions.
These feckers at Sky have been lagging behind on this from the get go yet now they’re trying to hijack the whole thing and turn it into their own transfer deadline day-esque drama. Feck off.
Am I living in an alternative reality.
SkySports asked all those people those questions. Obviously.
If you choose to work for a sportswashing operation you're accountable for that. I hold Pep to the same standard, I think he's a scumbag for doing it. It's right to ask EtH what he thinks about it now before it happens, if he wants to give diplomatic answers and not get involved then sure, but that only works until the takeover happens and then you have to make a decision about where you want to stand.Dumb take. What’s ETH accountable for exactly? Fecking hell.
I'm sorry if this upsets anyone but it's just how it is. If we get taken over by the Qatari's and he's happy to sit there and work for them then he's willingly enabling them and there's a weight of blame for their actions on him for that.
I find it frankly ridiculous that we wouldn't expect a journalist to ask what is essentially the figurehead of our club right now "this massive, ethically catastrophic, event might happen to the club you're employed by. How do you feel about that?". What else are journalists supposed to ask him at the moment?
If Qatar ends up buying Man Utd what EtH does is irrelevant to me, just like the club, as I said in the other thread I have no interest in supporting the shell of what the club would become. I have no respect for anyone who chooses to work for a sportswashing operation, though. That applies to Pep, Howe, Tuchel, Messi, Pochettino, Ronaldo etc. too.
That’s fair enough.
Hopefully it doesn’t come to that but if so we will likely not see you here from 10pm onwards

Oh I’m well aware of how these feckers in the media operate and I hope ETH continues to give them dry, blunt answers to any similar questions going forward.
Fair enough, everybody deals with it in their own way. Nothing to be held accountable about.
Seems you’ve got about 6 weeks of being a United fan left.
