Nah Pep has always been an eccentric tactician experimenting all over the place. I mean he was the one that stuck Messi in the middle and popularized the whole "false 9" position in recent times. Also turned Lahm into a DM at Bayern, as well as a bunch of other stuff. Don't think the other day was any different. It's the one drawback you get with Pep, he's always trying to outsmart the game and sometimes it comes back to bite him.Pep Guardiola is a decent manager (but I'd be a decent manager with prime Lionel Messi in my team!). I think we are seeing recently that without a strong assistant manager (e.g. Mikel Arteta) he is prone to making weird decisions - the team setup vs Spurs on Sunday for example, and when he did get City to a CL final he decided to 'experiment' when if he had stuck to the system and the players that had got them there, he would have probably won it.

It's his family being worth that much, and definitely isn't liquid to that extent. Definitely more based on them being the ruling familyok...first off 15% increase in the stock price is insane value for anyone who owns a substantial amount of shares
secondly....anyone who is worth 335billion well taht is just downright disgusting to have that much wealth. The question of that wealth is it liquidable assets?? or is that based on tehm being the ruling family of Qatar and that is based on value of the State for oil and other investments?
This is true, it wouldn't surprise me to see Haaland in goal at the weekend (Edersons not that great anyway) he could go up for corners and probably get as many touches as he does playing No. 9!Nah Pep has always been an eccentric tactician experimenting all over the place.

so that goes back to the purchase then of making the club debt free again plus rebuilding/revamping Old Trafford. Purchase price is 6billion and another billion say for infrastructure would require some significant liquidable assets and not "borrowing" money from the stateIt's his family being worth that much, and definitely isn't liquid to that extent.

Phil should get credit for this. I listen to his podcast and he absolutely called this.I'm not a great believer in what he says but Phil Brown said this in Dec:

But whether or not he was just stating what I thought would be an obvious thing I dunno.
this wouldn't shock me one bit given Beckham's relationship with them from his time at PSGI'm not a great believer in what he says but Phil Brown said this in Dec:

We don't need to do the financial doping bs that City did.Do we really want to risk the club especially after what happen at shitty ?
Isn’t it an easy enough shout when Beckham is working with Qatar before this and Glazer was literally photographed over there?this wouldn't shock me one bit given Beckham's relationship with them from his time at PSG
City are a non-club. They couldn't and still can't afford their spending. We can. All we need is an owner who will take care of the other side of business - debt and infrastructure mainly. The club has more than enough revenue to pay for wages and transfer expenses.Do we really want to risk the club especially after what happen at shitty ?
Haha yearly from memoryIs that financial quarter or yearly quarter?
The reason why City wanted to cheat or had to is that they wanted to inject financial steriods into the business to grow the club quickly -- rather than organically.We get owned by any of them oil states and 7 years from now we'll get dragged down the same mud the city cnuts are in now. Don't trust them for shits. They'll stain the club with their filth. It is a very sad fact that it's looking close to really happening.
Beckham and Qatar... wonder where he got that idea.I'm not a great believer in what he says but Phil Brown said this in Dec:

I agree with your statement 100% but unfortunately we are not in an either/or situation which is hard on everyone because every supporter will have a struggle with it one way or another. It's difficult to find a billionaire in the ideal status to invest in this club and much less, a Man Utd supporting billionaire.I always hate this argument. Do you love your hotel, the aircraft you fly, gas in your hob, mobile phone supplier, the car you drive as you love United and have a connection with? Anyone who doesn't like us going that path, just let them. Why always bring up these stupid arguments. I, myself, am not sure how I feel about it and how I will feel if it actually happens. If its a consortium, it might be different, but even then I'm not sure.
Top 10 richest persons in QatarHis personal wealth is his family's and, therefore, his country's wealth. If he's getting involved, then the Qatari state is definitely getting involved. It's why I don't think this private investment group will involve him.
Will it be in Cantonese or mandarin?Is that financial quarter or yearly quarter?
If that's all we need then Ratcliffe or any consortium can do it. We just need them to wipe out the debt and sort the stadium and put the right people in charge. Don't get the obsession with oil.City are a non-club. They couldn't and still can't afford their spending. We can.

Enemy of my enemy is my friend? The private Saudi consortium then!!!Sure sounds like a standup fella
Can we do anything and do the majority really care?Do we really want to risk the club especially after what happen at shitty ?
This 100%.If that's all we need then Ratcliffe or any consortium can do it. We just need them to wipe out the debt and sort the stadium and put the right people in charge. Don't get the obsession with oil.
I don't think Ratcliffe can do it. He needs to spend 6+ billion, plus another 2 billion for the stadium and training grounds, plus another billion for the debt. And this is not a business decision because the person willing to do that wouldn't expect any sort of profit in the near future for his money. That leaves only oil states or tech giants. The latter is highly unlikely because they don't need to invest in football clubsIf that's all we need then Ratcliffe or any consortium can do it. We just need them to wipe out the debt and sort the stadium and put the right people in charge. Don't get the obsession with oil.
This is a misunderstanding of what has happened at City. They have cooked the books and used creative accounting in order to bypass premier league rules on spending and financial fair play. United would be at no risk of this.Do we really want to risk the club especially after what happen at shitty ?
For me its not about transfers or even the debt because I believe a few seasons of continuous CL qualifications will see our revenues bring it to an acceptable level or if wished ensure we pay it down over the years.We don't need oil money to compete but it's the quickest path to clearing the debt those leeches saddled us with.
Why would someone simply put money from their own pocket ? If they clear the debt it would be by keeping Club as a collateral. No one is putting their personal money because they love the club.If that's all we need then Ratcliffe or any consortium can do it. We just need them to wipe out the debt and sort the stadium and put the right people in charge. Don't get the obsession with oil.
