Interesting. This is clearly the entity that’s being created outside of QIA/QSI to bid that was rumoured. Assuming he called it that as a reference to class of 92 then."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.
My guess is bad translation but actually meaning this:

Yes, but it will never leave SalfordWill the PL title ever leave Manchester?
Class of 92 is one of the most successful hype jobs in football historyInteresting. This is clearly the entity that’s being created outside of QIA/QSI to bid that was rumoured. Assuming he called it that as a reference to class of 92 then.
Are they using that 92 branding to try curry favour? Wonder what nev et al think of that.
The original statement is in English. They're naming the legal vehicle with which they intend to make the acquisition, like the Glazers had (or maybe still have ) Red Football Ltd/LLC or whatever it was called.My guess is bad translation but actually meaning this:

They are desperate to buy the club aren't they?
I think they're literally tying themselves to the class of 92. Not just referencing them, but actually giving all profits to this foundation that already exists which was founded by Co92.Interesting.

Sir Jim can come in and match the bid now
They already have a foundation 92 which is why I’m confused.Not sure you can claim IP to numbers but be interesting to hear Neville’s thoughts either way.
I don’t think so. It’s a banker.Wait is this guy the older brother of the Emir of Qatar?
Must be fecking loaded if so
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.
Ah okay. The way some of those tweets were worded were as if they were tying themselves to the class of 92s foundationThe original statement is in English. They're naming the legal vehicle with which they intend to make the acquisition, like the Glazers had (or maybe still have ) Red Football Ltd/LLC or whatever it was called.
4.5B and 1 penny!Sir Jim can come in and match the bid now. Glazers wanted an auction they are going to get one
How rich is this guy/family?
They all have different little pockets they control at any given time, but in reality there's no notion of his net worth vs others in their royal family. Any split would be arbitrary.Wait is this guy the older brother of the Emir of Qatar?
Must be fecking loaded if so
Yes but 40% premium of current evaluation is around 5.6b. Bid is around 5bn. They are not that far off to be honest.

Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani, the chairman of one of Qatar’s biggest banks, has bid for Manchester United.
Al Thani, son of former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, confirmed his offer for the English football club in a statement to the Financial Times.
Sheikh Hamad Bin-Jaber al-Thani, known as HBJ, was one of Qatar’s most powerful figures in the late 1990s and 2000s, serving as prime minister and foreign minister.
As Qatar used its gas riches to snap up trophy assets in the 2000s, he head the Qatar Investment Authority and was the face of a spending spree that take stakes in the Shard, Chelsea Barracks, Canary Wharf, the London Stock Exchange, the Berkeley and the Connaught hotels in London.
However, his influence waned when Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani shocked the Gulf by abdicating and handing power over to his son, Sheikh Tamim, the current emir, in 2013. HBJ was sidelined and replaced as prime minister and head of the QIA, the sovereign wealth fund.
“The bid plans to return the Club to its former glories both on and off the pitch, and – above all – will seek to place the fans at the heart of Manchester United Football Club once more,” a statement from Al Thani said.
“The bid will be completely debt free via Sheikh Jassim’s Nine Two Foundation, which will look to invest in the football teams, the training centre, the stadium and wider infrastructure, the fan experience and the communities the Club supports.”
I think they're literally tying themselves to the class of 92. Not just referencing them, but actually giving all profits to this foundation that already exists which was founded by Co92.
For all people can say about them, you can't argue that they are much smarter than the Glazers.
4.5B and 1 penny!
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
Didn't think it would be lead by one person, surprised by that. Or would Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani be the face of it?
Think he's worth just over £1bn. His family £276bn.How rich is this guy/family?
Could be a lawsuit on the way thenThey already have a foundation 92 which is why I’m confused.
Is that more than Todd Boehly?Think he's worth just over £1bn. His family £276bn.
