Club Sale | It’s done!

[MancunianAngels]

Matchgoing United fans who travel the world watching the club in the flesh week in week out, clearly have a very different relationship with the club than people who have never stepped foot inside the ground and watch the match on TV. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion. They have a closer connection to what's going on, regardless of where they live.

Funny thing is since I gave up my ST/Membership due to the Glazers, I became one of those TV watching fans. My relationship with the club changed when that happened.

Very fair and reasonable. I felt closer to the team and the city when I had more time and less financial burdens to take the train and watch games.

Again, it's neither oil, nor air, it's gas.

And air is a ___?

 

[alexthelion]

In what way would they be our first? What’s the miles radius to be regarded as local?

How far away is Monaco as Jimbo is regarded as a local?

 

[Appletonred]

Suspect Ratcliffes appearance at Old Trafford will not count for anything in the grand scheme of things, he simply cannot bring to the table what Qatar can offer, including business opportunities which Jassim can throw in as a sweetener.

10 hours staring at the leak in the Old Trafford roof?

 

[TrebleChamp99]

SJR better get there early and prepare to spend 15 hours or no deal

 

[alexthelion]

Just pointing out because when it was reported that SJR was working with JPM and GS on structuring the bid and his financing, it was argued by many that the involvement of bankers was a fatal flaw in the bid in their view.

Becaused in that case they were going to provide finance. Totally different.

I'd imagine if any of those United legends back the Qatar bid, wumminator will be telling us he's more important to United and superior to them too

If he popped in for a cuppa for half an hour he’d still be there longer than Jassim!

No matter which way you swing it, that is extremely positive!

So that’s a banker on the board (1st red flag) and ex-players involved too (2nd red flag and big issue for the Caf)

Let it go.

They’re at the Lowry right now, drinking tea in the bar, on the phone to Jassim “it’s pissed down all day, the toilets are swimming in piss and the swimming pool at Carrington looked fecking old and had a pissed Phil Jones in it floating on a lilo drinking Chartreuse and smoking a massive dubh…2bn and one of those robes we gave to Messi should do it”

Wumminator's law: The intensity of emotion you feel is inversely proportional to the distance from the entity you feel the emotion for.

That is why long distance relationships does not work.

 

[Kush]

If we do get bought out by Qataris and it results in Wumminator denouncing his allegiance to the club, and stops posting verbal diarrhea on the regular, then it is a massive plus in my books.

 

[TheReligion]

You lot need to let the local thing go as you’re spamming the thread now.

 

[stevoc]

So, hold on. We’re saying that a personal local connection IS important to how you feel about a football club?

Big if true

Of course is important to him, but does not make him a more important "superior fan". How is that difficult to understand?

 

[Giggsyking]

There was some mental shit in here this morning.

I am still reading through the last few pages. God, this thread is mental.

 

[DownRiver]

Jassim could have zoomed in for the meeting, we are not in 2018 god damn it!

 

[red thru&thru]

All positive on the Jassim front.

 

[M4YON]

Right, I genuinely don’t want to get anyone banned here - not my style at all - but I can see you can’t really post without insults or saying I deserve to be insulted so I’ll back out of this thread again.

Qatar still murdered hundreds of migrants, they still have horrendous laws for women and minorities and nothing will change. Some are okay with that, some think this is not acceptable for their club. I will leave you all in peace because after two people being warned after I questioned them I think it’s unfair to continue to post and risk them getting banned.

PS - I didn’t report you for this post so if someone else gets you warned it genuinely wasn’t me.

Don't make promises you can't keep, you've 'backed' out of this thread once before which resulted in there being actual discussion in here instead of inflammatory remarks.

On a side note did those members get warned because you are a 'superior' fan?

 

[Spoony]

David Beckham will be involved. Who else? Lee Sharpe? Mike Duxbury? Andrei Kancheskis? Cristiano Ronald?

 

[Compton22]

So many civil and constructive posts right now makes the thread much more superior

Jassim's buying us an Osimhen welcome present.

Mike Duxbury is the most superior out of those, for obvious reasons.

Agreed. Thread has been unreadable all day which is a shame because its seemingly been an important one.

 

[kaku06]

Qataris were drenched in piss when they saw the facilities and were initially pissed off but then were told that was no ordinary piss, that was superior piss of superior local fans and now they are launching a second superior bid. Now I get it.

I’m going to start having to give some temp bans out I think. Or ghost a few who won’t let it go.

Essentially Sokol now saying what we all thought: this is now a pride at stake issue for the Sheikh and he will get the club.
