I don't think the 'average' Qatari is that different from me. Other than that I agree with everything.We're talking about Qatar.
I am sure like you, I would also be upset if my country of birth and the country I have resided since childhood were to purchase a football club. However, Qatar is a special case and a vast majority of its people will be proud if they managed to buy the club.
I personally think it's a bad financial investment from a monetary perspective just like the World Cup. I would also point out that as a Muslim myself money would be better utilised and the reward would be immense in the hereafter if Qatar spent its wealth on building hospitals and schools and helped those lesser off in the world.
Possibly but the existence isn't limited to the owner's perspective (in my opinion obviously).On your last point, I do now think football has now become a commodity - not to fans, but certainly to those wanting to profit in some form from owning a club.
Just @Wumminator wumming again![]()
13:37So, I wonder what time we'll get some footage of Jassim's team who appear at OT and Carrington.

I just think he's wrong on the subject. I've had similar situations on the forum. You just accept you're wrong learn and move on. Simples.Tbf wumminator isn't being xenophobic. He's just being parochial.
There a difference.
What if you're born in London but move to Manchester?

Are we doing that stupid fan debate again?
Will do that. It's an interesting topic.I dont know we need to ask Wumminator our fan police.
So if you, for some reason, need to move to Italy, will you become a lesser supporter of the club?
It's funny how there's this notion that the closer you are to OT, the bigger of a fan you are. That's not true. There are people who are obsessed with Japan more than Japanese people themselves (and I know there are weebs on this forum, quite a lot of them in fact so you know what I mean).
Actually the 'superior' fans are directly responsible. If only they'd done more to ensure there was no legal way a foreigner could buy their club, we'd not be having this debate.One could argue its folk like you who kept lining the Glazers pockets all this time to allow them to keep hemorrhaging money from the club up until the point they bled it dry and had to sell it on.
So in a roundabout way, we're gonna end up owned by Qatar and its mostly your fault![]()
So, hold on. We’re saying that a personal local connection IS important to how you feel about a football club?
Big if true

It's a joke. To me it seems that "some posters" actually believe it.What?
I guess it’s true, every ref at old trafford is a Utd fan.It's funny how there's this notion that the closer you are to OT, the bigger of a fan you are. That's not true.

Ah sorry, its just a mayhem here.It's a joke. To me it seems that "some posters" actually believe it.

So like being born within the sound of Bow Bells to be a cockney?It's based on the distance you were born from the stadium unfortunately, moving closer to the stadium later in life, is just what an inferior fan would do to cover their tracks
In order to be a proper fan, you actually have to bring up Google maps and find which club is closest to where you were born and support them
Yeah, makes sense.It's based on the distance you were born from the stadium unfortunately, moving closer to the stadium later in life, is just what an inferior fan would do to cover their tracks

Are you moving to Old Trafford?Things might be happening.
Them paying the most is probably the reason why they're favoured. Maybe not.

If he wins the bid, yes.Will the megastore now be selling those robes that Messi wore when he lifted the World Cup?
