I get how you feel mate, but keep in mind he couldn’t go to the country of the owners and be allowed to be publicly in a relationship. Any money given to the club would further this kind of persecution. You’ve got to understand how upsetting this must be?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

No chance in hell.
Not the same and you know it.
City are defined by their owners. This club stands on it’s own.
Are people emotionally invested in filling up their car?
Yeah, on a few levels bit it's not a choice for lots of people. I have to drive but I got my oil central heating replaced.
Why do people struggle when other people give a shit?
He's the postman that delivered it.
Say the Qatari's do bid or already have, what's to say we would even hear about it tonight. Might take a few days to come out.
I wouldn't pay much attention to this 10pm deadline. Really means nothing to us.

This is a bit naive. We're talking about a full takeover. The sheikhs aren't going to buy a plaything just for it to "run itself". It will be their agendas, their branding, everything decided by them.
Nonsense. City are an old great club, (who I hate). Success is what defines glory hunters, not football clubs, most win nothing.
That is what we call double standards.
Agree, It's one inappropriate comment after another. And the title of the thread even says "post respectfully".
It is now.
Insensitive post
And just like that you'll end the oppression of homosexuals in the Middle East. Nobel peace prize is on the way.
Of course it must be difficult, but you aren't celebrating Qatar, and neither will we.
When Manchester United win it's because of ETH, the 11 on the pitch and the rest on the bench. They are who we spend our time and money to support.
I don't celebrate the Glazers now and I won't celebrate the Qataris or Radcliffe/whoever else may get it.
What a horrendous thing to say. feck me. I would ban you outright.
That's not really looking likely now is it?
Thank you. Like you say - It's not something that's particularly joyful. I've supported since the club since I can remember. 25 years.
I don't blame the club. But I won't go out of my way to support or promote something they will be purchasing partly to promote their interests..
Yes that makes me a hypocrite with the amount of oil they produce I likely use etc etc. But I don't go and cheer on Aramco, I buy it because I need it to live.
As for the Glazers, I don't like them, don't support the financial instrument they used to take over the club. But there are levels, and this is a level I won't cross.
You really think that's his aim?
Why the need to belittle people's feelings on this?
It's one thing having no solidarity,, it's another to sneer.
City, as we know them today is built on the foundations of Abu-Dhabi investment and cheating.
It’s a weird thing to witness - essentially they’re mocking those who have a feeling for the ‘heart & soul’ of the club…for its history and heritage in other words. And this kind of ownership model conflicts with that heritage.
If Qatar or Saudi Arabia end up owning the club I don’t think that many will actually walk away. It’s just that their support won’t have the same meaning as before…and obviously they’d rather that doesn’t happen.

Jesus Christ, how is that your reaction? Unfortunately the Qataris almost certainly will take over but seeing the disappointment of arseholes who have been doing their bidding for them before they've even bought the club would be great.
If I weren't a socialist I'd be loaded. Seriously I love the passion, if anyone wants to walk away...more power to their elbow.
Mate, the eighties called and they want their terminology back.
It's surreal that they would openly mock people who have any heartfelt conflict.
Personally think all of that went out of the window years ago with the massive increase of commercialization in football that the Premier League brought. I think it's a bit rich to suggest United is above all of this. United are a brand now more than a football club.
Its not about people giving a shit or not, its the lengths that certain posters are going to decry anyone who isnt 100% against a ME takeover but wilfully ignore other ME influences/exports that are already consumed on a daily basis.
It is for a lot of people to be fair. Had a mate who was putting in fivers at a time since that was all he could afford
My teenagers do occasionally (probably more than occassinnally) wish I was a barrister and not a hairy communist alright!
They'll learn.
The Qatari bid is in
Why post this without even posting a source to confirm it?
I thought Vince sold WWE to the Saudi’s?
$9 billion!!!
How in the hell is the WWE worth that? Who even watches wrestling anymore?
You just have to look at the state of PSG and you then want them to own Utd? Please...Lots of delusion around here.
I haven't seen that, the lady two pages haven't been that. The reports we get aren't that. I've just come in to this thread and the post I quoted was cold and sneering at best.
It’s not that, there’s a lot of fans who have accepted the shitty situation already who are being accused of wanting to kill gays or support Slave Labour.
Imo if you’re shouting at fans who have reached the point sooner than you have if you don’t walk away then it’s all uncalled for.
Yes but I'm sure if the States wanted to buy us, it'd have a strong reaction too. Although I'm not sure a US WC would have a similar reaction to Qatar's.
If Newcastle beat us next Sunday, lets see how they give a feck about their Asterisk!
All this talk of Asterisks is nonsense. Do the spanish clubs get Asterisks for financially dominating the 00/10's?
Do City fans really feel hollow for winning their first PL + many more since? I don't think if you gave them a choice they'd go back to pre take over.
Are you seriously arguing the post I quoted wasn't sneering or mocking a gay fan who said he'd walk away?

Heh, I'm the poor boy of the family! Everyone I know is earning loadsamoney
