I'm concerned about the first part too because of how PSG is run, but City's owners have done none of that. Abramovich did for a little bit and stopped when he saw it wasn't working. The hierarchy in place at United outside of the manager and the coaching staff is FAR from untouchable.

John Textor owns both Lyon and Palace. Does this mean Palace won't ever* have aspirations for CL football?
*unless rules are officially changed.

So lets bomb the east and enforce our values.
You ignore the elephant in the room every day of your life unless you're Amish.
I don’t support PSG, therefore have very little interest in either their men’s or women’s teams - apart from when United are knocking them out of the CL
Ah. You must support Qatar national team then, as you have so much knowledge on them and their women’s team.
Thanks for the reply.
Outcome will depend on what that club's income is.
Encouraging news today. Hope Sheik Jasim or Sir Jim finish this chapter of the parasites once and for all. The Glazers will not be missed.
That's right, you cannot raise objections over a state owning your club unless you also retreat from modern society and live like a hermit.
What BS.
I'm anti the Qatar bid for other reasons but it's an opportunity, like the world cup, to keep those issues at the front of everyone's minds.
It could be either (play-thing or not) with any new owners. The one thing about owners who have a lot of their net worth tied into the club is that there's more of an incentive (but never a guarantee) to run it in a more rational way.
In the case of the Glazers the club is sort of bigger than them, or nearly all of their net worth. So that in part has allowed the club to run within it's own logic for the past 17 years. The problem is that they've really been lacking in vision and key personnel appointment (looking at Woody mainly). Their timing in terms of extracting $ and investing $ was always reactive, never proactive.
I was interested in the WC actually. The one that was just held in Qatar, remember it?
Thanks for your facetiousness.
Does it matter whether they’ve warmed to a potential buyer? Unless they’re thinking of staying involved.
For the 100th time, there's a difference between raising objections and lording your imaginary moral high ground over everyone else. All he does is the latter and I will call it out every single time. There's a readily available ignore button if you don't like it.
Sorry, I didn't understand your post? Was this meant to be for me?
He has openly admitted his objections are not based on human rights violations in and of themselves.
To be fair, while I'm nonfan of the Qatari bid or acolyte of the idea that them owning United will foster cultural change, the west didn't do that with Russia. Instead, they nearly bankrupted them, which lead their leaders to resent the west and their people to long for the old days of dictatorship. That's ended well.
That's fine. I was genuinely curious to how PSG have treated their women's team, as he said the way Qatar have dealt with the national's women team could be a reflection how our women's team is treated.
Keep seeing that posted, don't think this thread's ever been for news only.
Who's 'he' here?
No danger of that happening with Qatar.
You called it out using the same simplistic and nonsensical logic everyone else has used, so I won't ignore it, I'll point it out.
In the case of the oil states the west has zero interest in fostering cultural change because they're begotten by the business deal that created these states and put the ruling tribes in power in the first place. If Sadam Hussain played ball with the west, he'd be at the palace going over the daily execution log as we speak.
And funnily enough the country that hosts the premier league is built on a similar foundation through colonialism (over 300 years) massively contributing to the history and modernity of the countries economy. You wonder why scholastic primary / secondary education focuses on the escapades of individuals (Henry VIII) and not the objective view of the countries developments. There's only one reason why these things aren't discussed (by the masses including the media) is due to selective ignorance.
It's simplistic, but if you're going to tell people you're morally superior, it's not nonsensical. You think it's nonsensical because you don't like it.
When has it ever been solely for news updates? It's a discussion forum, so people are going to you know discuss it.
There's a tweet update thread on this very subject if the discussion is not for you.
No, I think it's nonsensical because it is. But I do happen to dislike weak arguments with very little foundation to them besides whataboutism. So your post was a double hit!
Very well to my knowledge. At the crux of it we are still talking about a sportswashing project, and painting a picture of how enlightened they are by investing in the women's team is part of it.
The east of where exactly?
Anyway I don't remember anyone bombing Russia or anything of that nature being implied in my post.
Very odd reply.
Ah yes "whatabaoutism". The sandcastle under which hypocrisy is hidden.
That’s beautiful. Really.
. No. He's a bellend.
Ah, that's good. Hopefully, our ladies will be doing better under Jassim.
Yes, I thought you were being a smart arse. This thread is full of ‘em.
If not I apologise, I’m sorry.
That said the comparison proves nothing as PSG feminin are very much the after thought behind the men’s team and also struggle to overcome OL feminin. There certainly hasn’t been an explosion of winning under the Qataris and like the men’s team PSG proves that it takes more than endless money to get success.

Things are happeningHa! You all said this guy was the Qatari Goldbridge and you were wrong! You were all wrong! He’s clearly the Qatari Gerard Romero…..
Not sure that's how Russia went, they were bankrupt in the old system, that's one of the reasons for the collapse of the old order, hey opened up and they benefited, then somehow one of the old guard got back in power and is trying to turn the clock back to the "glory" days of the Communist era - Putin is ex-KGB, he has always resented the West, most of the people do not long for the old days
Flashbacks! *shudder!*Things are happening
