France did need their football to be on par with the rest of the European leagues though since before PSG (and even now) it's incredibly lacking in interest and overall attractability.
Ligue 1 is a top 5-6 league, they are on par and above the vast majority. And authorities don't actually care about whether Ligue 1 is on par with La Liga or the PL.

PSG are definitely getting dumped if Qatar acquire Utd. I saw something online a few days saying how the lack of interest in Ligue 1 is something the Qataris have concern about long term.

what a nice polite way of saying you and your league are fecking shite

Let's face it, without PSG and the Qatari money we wouldn't even talk about the French league, or we would but as much as we talk about Holland

So nothing changed except making it essentially a 1 horse league

I’m not being funny but why would they have wanted to buy Liverpool instead of us in the first place? We are the bigger club with the bigger fan base and are more famous worldwide. From a purely neural standpoint buying United would be the logic choice.

100%. Got the feeling despite all the talk that if it comes down to the Qataris would absolutely sell PSG if it meant getting control of United.

Tbh we don’t even talk about PSG. People just talk about Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. That’s all anyone is interested in that league. The majority here won’t even know who is second in their league or any of their player names. Zero interest.

They wouldn’t. That guy is a bullshitter and is covering up his bullshit from earlier in the year when he said they were buying Liverpool.

Is this the sound of gathering steam I hear? Can we start celebrating already?

Before they sell the club they’ll sell Mbappe to Utd for £10 and a packet of crisps to satisfy FFP :drool:

Because Liverpool were put up for sale before us maybe?

Because that Emir dude is a United fan and wanted to give Liverpool fans hope before he completely crushes them.

That's true, definition of a player led league. If this happens you can see Mbappe going to Spain, Messi to USA and Neymar Italy or something. I doubt we'll see PSG deep in the CL in the next 5 years.

PSG were essentially a deal done to buy the world cup hosting rights. That tournament is done. PSG might as well be.
