He could well have links but that doesn't mean he'll run United in the same way as PSG.
PSG actually lost the title recently in embarrassing fashion. Their team is basically Neymar Mbappe FC, everyone else is a mish mash of random players. If we weren't linked with Qatar ourselves we'd be laughing at then right now. They are a study of failure and how not to oil up a club.
He responded specifically to a post about the meetings that just happened. This is what we were talking about throughout the response. Whether or not he got it confused phase two with the meeting is another matter. Look who is shifting goalposts now.
Most of their "books" are most likely electronic, regardless. Encrypting sensitive information and sending to potential investors is common practice in many businesses. I can't speak specifically for football clubs, but I would be surprised.
They lost the league title to Lille a few years ago by one point. Hardly embarrassing considering the great job Lille did by signing a lot of very talented young players.
Isn't HBJ, Jassim's father the uncle of the current Emir?
I never said it wasn't
The bold is my exact point. Why shill for Qatar when there is so little information?
This can't be real
I just remembered, so sorry for the late/double reply, but Bloomberg has published an article about INEOS plans for the debt. I linked to it and quoted a bit further back in the thread.
Most of us have gone off the statements given. Or, in the case of SJR, his time with the other football clubs he and INEOS own.
Once again, I realize that, and I'm saying the statements don't give enough information to be firmly for or against either bid.
Hopefully in a few years people will be saying that United hugely benefited from getting ETH at the same time as new ownership.
Does Jassim own Malaga?
You could imagine Liverpool fans voting in their millions to try and get us to sign some absolute chumps.This can't be real
Where were city and psg prior to ME investment?
My feeling is the Qatari group put down a number that they’ll offer and it’s pretty much up to Ineos to match or beat it
They are owned by Qatar, are they not?
The meeting broke down when John Murtough kept asking Dave Brailsford what was really in the jiffy bag.
A fake account set up by Ratcliffe's cohorts to put themselves forward as the better bidders by spreading such false rumours and smearing Mr. Jassim's bid in the process.
Yes. And?
Should how Malaga is run not be considered since a member of the royal family also owns it?
No. That's like saying every family member of all the INEOS owners, should be judged for their running of whatever businesses they run.
Voting would be reserved for superior Manchester based fans obviously.
It wasn't the the geographic component of the ME investment that made them better. More money could've come from anywhere. In City's case, they made the right choice in terms of players and managers to where more money was beneficial.
"Manchester United fans have voted on Lukaku for their next blockbuster signing"
No, it's not the same thing. INEOS isn't part of a dictatorship with a royal family.
More like an account set up by someone trying to achieve Indikayla's success and renamed their twitter handle once the news broke of Qataris bidding for us in the hopes it will drive traffic and, well, predictably it does as that crap is being posted here and people fall for it
It'd be carnage wouldn't it."Manchester United fans have voted on Lukaku for their next blockbuster signing"
Regardless fans should be far from transfers in the Caf is anything to go by.
And? You think the Emir sits and makes decisions on every investment they have?
City were the 2nd British club to pay a million quid for a player, so it's not like they haven't spent big in the past
I think its been proven that sources of capital have been hard to come by at the top level of football.
We’d make PSG look like a serious club.
That's not the point. There is an example of the Qatar royal family owning a football club and not doing so well. Given you are already drawing conclusions based on limited information, I don't see why this wouldn't be considered.
The Royal family consists of several thousand members. Bit harsh to judge all of their ability to run a club based on the one person behind the shitshow that is Malaga. He is not even a key member of the family.
"Moukoko scored 60 goals in a season in my FM save. Get him in!"
Yes, you a right it seems.
It could be literally anyone. There are about 750 billionaires in the US alone, so it could literally be anyone with some degree of interest in football. I don't care who buys the club as long as its not a nation state or a Glazer-like lot who saddle the club with needless debt.
