You could be right. I must have missed the SJR bid. I mean the top end of the Qatar bid could be a mad figure.

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.

British educated! Is it enough though or he needs to have Chelsea season ticket as well?
No chance Qatar are not winning this race. Confirmation now they have another money to blow everyone out of the water
Yeah it was, but its a minefield if you want to enter into that discussion
I don’t, will never leave the thread if we start that one! But him calling the Glazers despicable whilst saying ‘what more can we want?’ in relation to possible Qatari ownership poses some interesting questions. Leaving it there!
Wait does this mean Neville has been involved this whole time?
He did have a lot of coverage for the WC
Manchester United has value beyond its market capitalization.
Happy for the people who feel excited by this. Sad for the people who feel the club they support won’t feel like the club the supported anymore
I thought it was Foundation 92 in the original article.
Early strong Contender for good looking owner thread!
It also has debt and massive need for infrastructure upgrades at great cost.
Don’t forget a sprinkle of Brexit & Fracking
Are they using that 92 branding to try curry favour? Wonder what nev et al think of that.
Look if they are terrible people tied to the control of an acceptable state get the government to ban them like Abramovich. Won't hear a complaint from me. But I've never heard of any of these guys and twitter can't seem to tell if it's the Kings brother or a random banker.
Geopolitics is million miles above my pay grade, all I can look at is what each of the heartless foreign billionaires are offering in their pitch for the club. The fit and proper owner test should be well above the input of random fans.
Simon stone/bbc generally have a higher standard for vetting. they dont repeat what is being fed to them.. That's what good journalists do. They have some respect and dont want to be reduced to a mouthpiece pushing agendas.
I cant remember his name, but Jose had a journalist who would do his bidding too (Castles? ).. Its a good way of knowing what their (jose/qatar's) point/opinion is, but that doesnt make a good journalist.
Keegan is shit. he has been shit.. he remains shit.. he is just ITK now... till he is spat out for someone else.
They must have squared it with them surely?
I hear there'll be a bidding war. Bids will increase 1 euro at a time so it might take a while.
Needs more tax dodging tbf
Yeah I think the Glazers will want their briefcases filled with dollars, surely?
Arsenal's time to shine.
Not sure you can claim IP to numbers but be interesting to hear Neville’s thoughts either way.
well no way they’re not winning the bid. glazers can’t lose from here.
I really dont see a difference in what Stones does, Castles did or what Keegan's doing here. They are putting out what they are being told to put out. Stones gets the brief (along with a load of others) and puts it out. Keegans's been well briefed here in the same way.
Tel Classico.
Time to unzip ?
"The bid will be completely debt free via Sheikh Jassim's Nine Two Foundation" -- from the statement. There is no such Foundation owned/funded by Sheikh Jassim at this time, or at least in the public record as far as before this statement. So it is something to be set up.
Wars have started over this kind of thing.
Oh so they're tying themselves to the class of 92 foundation for community purposes. Small wins...
Yes but 40% premium of current evaluation is around 5.6b. Bid is around 5bn. They are not that far off to be honest.
Imagine earning 5bn in 17 years by not investing anything at all
Will the PL title ever leave Manchester?
Neither of those approach that intangible value.
It’s a very strong opening bid
It will stay in the north
Qatar want want want us.
