The most important thing to remember is that the Qatari deal will probably be blocked by the same authorities that waived the Saudi takeover of Newcastle through.

Saudi deal was blocked because of piracy. They dont care at all for anything else

That tweet doesn't really make me feel great about the prospects of the club, even though it's supposed to, on paper.

Like hitting the cheat code and unlocking all transfers and upgrades, but nothing truly meaning what it used to, anymore.

As opposed to playing on "ironman challenge mode" under the Glazers? It's about fecking time our club got unlocked, we are massive

Nope. That deal was blocked for entirely different reasons. beIN lobbied the PL to block the bid because of copyright infringement issues.

The human rights issue is by far the thornier issue and I'm still not sure how to feel about it.

Look at this way, they’re on the right path, they‘re just further behind us on the journey.

Let’s not pretend we weren’t chemically castrating homosexuals and being gay wasn’t illegal here only 56 years ago, because it was. I’m 43, and homosexuality had only been legal for 12 years when I was born.
 
Last orders in the Nags Head soon, Jim Ratcliffe trying to get Del Boy and Trigger to cough up another few quid to get it over the line

Yes. So far probably the least shit option. Which isn't saying much.

And sadly irrelevant.

Right, so the guy that's been running Nice like a circus with PL rejects and has less money (obviously, putting morals aside).

The nearly 500 pages of this thread could have been done in 20 pages -- if not for the same ol' 'concerns' 'outrage' being mentioned over & over again by the lazy fecks.

Wish people would invest in reading the previous pages rather than just typing whatever pops into their head that moment like it's some original thought.
 
It’s the potential investment in the youth system that is more exciting than the marquee signings we may make in the short term, given the history of the club
 
I forgot to put my bid in and I think the deadline was 10pm. Doah!
 
Wonder what number reg plate Al Thani has, that’s how you know who the big boys are in Qatar.

It’s not even this thread though, it’s about football in general the past few years. Baffling.
