Feel better after your tirade?
The fact you studied History at one of those Universities tells me all I need to know
The Propaganda based educational system. Kaboom!Goodbye!
The propaganda educational system? At universities?Feel better after your tirade?

But it shows how you can separate religious beliefs or even dilute them.
I’m not even arguing against or for Qatar, it’s more against the point of you follow this religion so you believe in X and Y.
Ireland shows it’s not the case.
Yeah that's true. In all fairness, everyone out there in some form of power is a massive dickhead, the way I see is that the Qataris at least know and care about how they are perceived and therefore might actually do some good with the money, whereas the rest of the dickheads only care about how they can get more money and feck everyone else.
Sooo, no more gays at Old Trafford from now on?
Shit, that's like half of our match going fans.
Your post was chock full of baseless ad hominem which weakens your argument. In addition the whole purpose of studying history is to understand and be critical of the accuracy of the source of information.Feel better after your tirade?

The Tories or the Qataris? What would cause the biggest meltdown in here?
Same here. Musk will bury United alive then dance on the grave preaching on how great he is, what a fantastic achievement he has done here and how he has 'saved' United.
However I don't think he'd buy us. Like some have said here it's probably the worst ROI possible on earth. He just wants the attention as usual imo.
They've had to do things differently because there's insane tax levels for footballers in France and the pulling power of Ligue 1 is obviously much weaker than the other major European leagues.
All in all though, I think they've had a pretty good team over the last few years even if they have always come up short in the CL (as City have done)
I do think if they had been in the PL, they'd have won the league a few times and would've been competitive v City/Liverpool over the last few years.
Why would that be the case? I can appreciate the way they handle a business or a football club if you will, whilst still being able to criticise their way of thinking on certain topics. Shouldn't be a problem and should be the way people act on this. This thread is comedy gold.
It's less now that mata has gone.Sooo, no more gays at Old Trafford from now on?

Have you seen the response the Saudi government now get from Newcastle fans?
This thread took a steep downhill slide overnight
He is even worse. known bullshitter.
Plenty of match going fans who were willing to give the new owners a chance at the start.
OT was still packed to the brim despite calls to boycott.
I suppose tourists and all that.
No I haven't and frankly I'm pretty sure most Newcastle fans don't follow the Saudi politics close enough to even make a profound statement on the matter. I'm also pretty sure most Newcastle fans don't appreciate the way the Saudis handle topics like women rights, homosexuality and (lack of) secularity just because they are owned by them. They can however appreciate the way their club is handled. People getting this mixed up should rethink.
I'd rather the North Koreans bought us than see his stupid face at OT.
Sir Jim "Get Brexit done - I'm a lifelong
That's how it's always been, folk sound off then get immune and carry on with the status quo.
Now that's some scary shit there.
Sharks with freaking laser beams attached to their heads with only gay target programmed acquisition.
They'd build a giant moat around Gold Trafford.
Its all nonsense if we're being totally honest.
Are they the only ones drumming this shite up about morality and the middle east? You've got wankers at skysports suddenly writing essays on morality because they know it will generate views when it comes to Manchester United.
I'm not here to judge who is right or wrong. But sometimes things get a bit hypocritical and that needs to be brought to attention.
Sort of weird how the outrage is only directed towards our club/potential owners, when considering over the last decade, a fair chunk of central London and various major UK companies have been bought up by the middle east without so much as a peep from politicians and media alike.

Is that a nun in the thumbnail or what? Newcastle is wild
I see it like that:
- We won't be able to prevent a potential state ownership.
- I will still follow United.
- I will appreciate a proper running of our football club by whoever owner we might get.
- I will not try to justify human rights issues just because of the football club that I follow. This won't change under a Qatari, Saudi or sweatshop running company ownership.
Pretty fecking easy for me.

To be fair the USA still live by the Declaration of Independence and that is all out of date.

“The British Education System differed from the Indian Education System in several ways. English was introduced to vernacular language instruction as a replacement for vernacular languages. The primary goal of British education was to train a clerical workforce rather than to gain knowledge.”
If you think the English historical education is going to sit and happily talk about all the crap they did to so so so many countries then you are deluded just as much as me
Ive got to go now because I got a point for dragging the thread away from its focus!
Goodbye!
The Saudis are literally killing journalists and executing people publicly but Newcastle fans should ignore that because they run the footy team well?
Just to be clear - that’s your position?

@Wumminator that post must have been written a while ago! It was just an honest view point of how most have been brought up hearing that slur as an insult.
Fair enough. People change. I appreciate you changing your mind on the topic.
Texas says hi!
Absolutely not no. I'm not even sure how you got that out of the post I wrote and frankly if you are trying to spin everything people say to fit your agenda I might have to report you as this is unacceptable.
What I said - which shouldn't be hard to comprehend for anyone with half a brain - is that just because the football club I love is owned by a state with questionable human rights record this won't and shouldn't lead to me justifying their acts. The way they handle certain topics should still be harshly criticised. But fans can still point out that their football club is properly run.
I for one won't stop supporting United under a Qatari ownership. Does this mean I'm ok with the way they handle eg LGTB issues? No, of course not. Do I however think they will do a much better job at running United than the Glazers? Of course I do. I can and I will differ and this is the way all of this should be handled in my opinion.
Homophobia, racism, discrimination in general isn't political, it's vile ideology that needs to be challenged and pushed back against. I absolutely would not want to be sat near anyone at OT that harboured those sorts of views. The idea that we should leave social issues out of football (or, more specifically, this board) is ridiculous. It's an important part of discourse.
I imagine we'd have a fair few "newcastle/city-like" fans who will dress up in the whole attire and create a love fest for our new middle eastern overlords (if it does go through).
I mean there were people defending the Glazers for years up until very recently.
Can you imagine the reception a new owner would get if he actually pumped money into the club and brought us trophies again?
It was hardly a tirade. Anyway, you're really pushing into conspiracy theorist territory here and have completely ignored most of what I said.Feel better after your tirade?

You're obviously very small minded and blinkered.
This.
Because empty corporate pandering while maintaining repressive policies back home doesn't wash with me.
I wasn't referring to you, although looking at some of your posts i can see why you might think i was.
i was referring to the @Wumminator who openly went after an Islamic Redcafe member asking him his stance on homosexuals, then berated him for his answer which has NOTHING to do with this thread topic and also @redcucumber who has stated he doesn't want to be owned by a state with a ' weird religion' great job guys you may be tolerant of sexuality preferences but you lack severely in religious tolerance and understanding.
When the mods finally see all this crap they're going to have a lot of work to do.
