The end if true.
He’s becoming just as irritating as Jesse Lingard.
Using weapons designed, manufactured and sold by the UK Government. What's your point?
If this goes through then thats me done as a United supporter.
The Saudi Royal family is a monarchy who is actively causing a potential genocide in Yemen(Not to forget their domestic policy). Its one thing watching the Glazers doing what any half decent business owners would do but with the Saudi royal family its a completely different level of disgusting.
I am happy with them buying us. Anyone with the billions to buy man utd probably has done shady stuff in the past. With the Saudis we would be back in the mix in under two years. It would bring a confidence back to old Trafford that is missing throughout the club
It's worrying that some people do not understand the difference between being a cnut capitalist (yes, a problem) and murderous genocidal cnuts (a bigger problem).
Please buy the club asap and invest heavily.
Can not fathom how anyone would think this is OK? How this is better than the Glazers.
Genuinely would be the end for me and a large number of supporters I reckon. Wouldn’t want them anywhere near the country, let alone Manchester.

It's one thing whether or not there's any substance to Saudi takeover interest but what the Hell is going on with that blue tick guy. The Saudis being notoriously strict and secretive couldn't possibly be happy with this supposedly very high esteemed individual tweeting incoherent nonsense. What the feck is going on with that 
So much whataboutism in this thread.
People tend to vote governments they don't like out. What's your point with all these whataboutisms?
Problem with Saudis isnt capitalism....
The Saudi's IMO will have taken note of how the Abu Dhabi lot have structured City and will go a similar route.
Sorry but it doesn’t sit right with me that people on here are trying to downplay the atrocities committed by the Saudis after all the shit that the forum has given city about their owners’ similar affairs
I don't have all the answers. Never did I say so but you can't discount what I said about the role of matchgoing fans in our predicament. They are the most critical agent of change in all of this mess we are in.
That’s probably right, but having owners with a history like these guys is not something I will be happy about. Success is great, but it’s not the most important factor for United imo.
Glazers are a beautiful owner compared to them.
He is milking it but if he is a senior regime insider he is going to be claiming that his social media accounts were hacked to survive this.This guy is relentless if nothing else!Tweet

Imagine them changing our badge... removing the devil or something like that.
Yes - they have to announce even if there are talks or its open to manipulation of insider trading
I'm ready to kid myself in to why it's ok
Could be anything though?
New noodle sponsor?
They would get rid of Ole asap. Which is a quite charming thought.
He posted his first post again about the purchase of United. It would be more than a noodle sponsor.
You made an arbitrary distinction to justify having a sugar daddy club. The point is if the Saudis buy the club there is no way you can say a word to Chelsea or City of being a plastic club. It's a delusion to think otherwise.
What is the maximum limit? You just made that up. United have had one of the highest wage bills in Europe and have spent more than anyone in the last 4-5 years, bar City, without offloading that many players.
What about Liverpool? What is your excuse for why they don't need a sugar daddy owner?
Very risky game. But also another well known Saudi journalist proposed the questions to United fans on how they would react to a Saudi purchase. Definitely something in this.
That's one thing that would really worry me.
Hopefully. You can see them being desperate to beat the other states and going all out for the best.
The cognitive dissonance in this thread is really incredible. Absolute scenes.
Yup.....might be a whole lot of ‘reverse gear’ coming into play soon.
Ironic thing is we’ve spent bucketloads if money recently, we’ve just bought mostly shite. Fred cost the same as KDB and was only a couple of seasons apart
And the US and Germany and probably loads more. It's like with China, following with action on those human rights violations is only feasible with poor nations where you can't make any money.
It's a shame really but yeah if they end up buying us I'm probably done with football altogether. Rugby seems like an interesting enough sport.
Yeah, it won't be the usual takeover. We have the money, we just don't have the will or the way up top. One would hope there'd be changes.
So much noise coming out on this. If that is inevitable, as a fan I cant do much except accepting the fate and continue with my attachment to the club.
Isn't it the taxes Glazers pays to US-Govt being invested on bombing Syria or some other middle-eat countries and some innocents dying from that? Every story has two sides.
If not Saudis, We definitely need someone else who can put all the money we earn back into transfer market atleast for next few windows to sort out last 7 years mess.

You mean, they might hold executives to account for non-financial performance?
What’s the city owners done to cause atrocities?
Also the Saudi atrocities in Yemen where they are dropping British bomb, I’d like to know what people are doing about the British governments involvement.
I won’t get started on our American owners who belong to a country that if they don’t like you then they will invade you and take your assets but that’s ok!
Either way but I think its incredibly unprofessional to be so overexcited.
There was a NSFW link posted in a thread a while ago to a video of someone in Sheik Mansour’s family I believe abusing someone and other stuff has been mentioned but I didn’t really care to follow the details
The British and American governments don’t own any sports teams through which to launder their image. Not seeing the link.
I can say I would turn away from United but the first game v Liverpool at Anfield with Mbappe up top would suck me back in.
Its not something I think Im able to walk away from.
3-0 up at Halftime v Real and Im watching that second half

They will without doubt go all out to unsurp all the competitors no question and they'll do it IMO. Someone like a Ragnick would be brought into to oversee the recruitment too.
