When I was a kid and decided to support United I was 5 years old, I had no idea what "morals" were and I think that's probably true of every 5 year old on the planet!

I applaud your work ethic. I saw Giggs waltz through defenses, United pass the ball nicely and they were playing in red which happened to be the same color than my then favorite boots. I didn't need anything more than that.
Yeah we believe you
This is mental figures. This couldnt have been caused by just a fake tweet from some welsh kids basement. If that was the case we would have seen price fall quicker than Slippy G.
I skim until I see a Tweet or if I recognise some peoples usernames as I like what they have to say
Do you not think giving support and being loyal to your team through thick and thin is a moral decision?
Do you see no morals in your supporting of the club? It’s simply a case of “I like Man United” and then the club can do whatever it wants?
Would people accept someone like Adam Johnson (if he was good enough) playing for United? Or Lee Hughes?
Do people put themselves down that much that they don’t think there’s a moral connection with the club? That baffles me.
How dare you judge me on my analytical methodology to define the most morally appropriate club to support. Oh hold on, you believe me. My bad.Yeah we believe you
Propaganda campaign is being a bit too aggressive. Someone got a tetchy and moved too quickly or someone is really incompetent. You see it all the time.
But I also agree it could be based on this rumour as well (hence why it's still not priced at the proposed valuation level).
Do I feck continue to push people’s buttons. I just post my opinions on it. It’s irritating to me to read plenty of posts on this thread, I’m never insulting or rude though.
You’re trying to be too smart with the angle your approaching this. Your best decision was taking a step back from this thread. Your worst decision was not fulfilling your best decision.
That is frequently my issue on this site but I don’t think I can dumb myself down to certain posters level,
That basically the MG conversation
The key word being “trying”.
I will keep trying to help others yes.
It just dawned on me that the number one reason why this tedious process is getting so much scrutiny left and right is because -- and it matters little if one admits it or not -- we remain as English football's crown jewel until this day despite fecking everything. Sir Matt, the Babes, Edwards, the air disaster, 'Bobby belting the ball and Nobby dancing', Best, '77 Cup Final, Robson, Cantona, Fergie's Fledglings, Premier League domination, Becks, the treble, Rooney, Cristiano... in many ways we define modern English football. There is thus perhaps a feeling in certain quarters, with fans as well as non-fans, that football in its current incarnation and the romance intrinsic in it will be permanently lost should a state-backed takeover of our club is successful.
One must help themselves before helping others.
I don't think I've met an 8 year with your capabilities, RU a rocket scientist by any chance
exactly! We are genuinely footballs last hope!
There was too much simultaneous information coming out of the pro-Qatar camp for it not to be. The intended effect appeared to dispel the perviously growing perception things were trending towards INEOS.
Deal is imminent, stocks are interesting atm
Most people pick their team at the age of ten or younger, it is not some deep intellectual decision ffs 
I don't think this kinda post is a good idea.
good shout

Do you have a lot of decisions you made at ten that massively influence your life today?
Supporting a club is all about the club’s principles and values.
Haha brilliant
No it’s not, dude was tried in a court of law and found guilty of his crimes.
NickSpeed10, is that you?
Look, being a United fan has been a daily interest/passion for me for about 26 years. You are free to do what you want but I'm not going to piss away that just because the club may get owners that are morally problematic.
I assume you mean the other 2 but it's a moral thing for some and in that respect there's little difference
For some, evidently not. To say that to a tweet I’ve posted where the MUST Chaimen literally has a massive thread explaining this very thing is weird though. For a lot of people it is.
People are genuinely like “Yeah, I’ve been a United supporter all my life and remain loyal and hate certain clubs and love the homegrown players but it’s nothing to do with morals.”
There's definitely more to it than just the fake tweet, like you said. Along with all the stock movement, I refuse to believe all the well-connected people in Qatar who came out with congratulatory tweets the other night were duped by some random Twitter account. More likely they just jumped the gun and then later had to do some damage control until a formal announcement could be made.
Life is hard enough as it is for the average man on the street to burdon themselves with the worries of billionaire owners buying millionaire players for entertainment purposes. I think regards of whether you support Qatar or Jim Ratcliffe or even the Glazers, at the end of the day you cant put the blame on people who want to continue to support the club. I have my own issues with the club if Qatar take over, but to judge the fans I feel is something you cant do. We're friends, fathers, sons, wifes, sisters, brothers, girlfriends, boyfriends, customers, workers first. If you want to continue to support Manchester United, you're not the ones at fault.
No-one at all is judging anyone for continuing to support Manchester United. Why would anyone judge someone for that?
I enjoyed watching them as a child I guess. I've never thought about their position on various moral issues. That would be more akin to picking a political party to vote for
Great posts!
Being told I don't 'NEED' to own a car with my family of 6 and a job was the highlight of today's thread for me.
You’ve never thought about their position on Greenwood? Or thought poorly or Liverpool for how they handle the Suarez issue? Or disliked City for cheating in the league? Or been proud of the charity work the lads do?
That isn't morality though. Morality is about right and wrong, what if your local area is full of murderers and drug dealers, should the club represent that? Representation and morality aren't the same things
Indeed, someone ran the numbers and found the majority of people that backed his return also supported the Qatar bid so I guess it makes sense.
