Since when have fan polls actually been representative of the whole fan base?
Proving he is genuinely private and not a state bidder could United the fans around him and his bid.
Nope, guess again. The clubs been run so badly that they couldn't afford to take a dividend if we're to be competitive in the market in the summer without selling too many players to balance the books.
Them deciding to sell is a consequence of killing the goose that was laying golden eggs. They're not refusing to take a dividend because they've decided to sell, believe me, if they could they'd take a dividend on the way out the door while they're emptying their office.
I think the amount of people who give 2 shits about him being private or state backed is minuscule
We all know where the moneys coming from and when comparing it vs ‘Sir Jim‘s bid bring on the oil money all day long
At this stage we don’t even know if there are other rich members of The 92 Foundation. If they have pooled £8 - £9bn into a 92 Foundation bank account then that’s all that Raine and the PL need to know.
You're arguing a point I didn't make. Firstly I asked you "support? to buy a privately owned asset?" then I asked hasn't he been the favourite in most fan polls?
How does that translate to "fan polls = representative of the whole fan base"? I don't think there's anything that could/would/should be classed as representative of the whole fan base, so that's a moot point.
The funding come from his father who is for lack of better word an offshore accounts enthusiast, he isn't going to show you where the funds are because he is keeping the funds away from multiple tax services. He is involved in all the version of Papers that exist, Pandora, Paradise or Panama.
And being private doesn't make him honest, if anything the angle that you should focus on isn't whether he is private or if has the funds because by almost any accounts that predate this takeover, he absolutely has the means. The issue is that he is one of those people that works in underground economies and you never know which organization will be fed up and target him, it could be the FBI, Interpol or anything equivalent.
Wrong. It’s a huge difference that a good many folk who are opposed to state owned clubs would care deeply about.
Ah well the sheer amount of bickering and bolloxology is very entertainingDefine ‘good’
Not a lot about the actual sale
This is my point. At this point we don’t even know if he is even real! If they have done that, great - tell us about it!
True.Ah well the sheer amount of bickering and bolloxology is very entertaining
Not a lot about the actual sale
What's the point of this laughable test at this point? Useless piece of trash league
Also should be said that not all Qatari sovereign wealth is with QIA. Not beyond the realms of possibility that the state is funding 92 Foundation quite independently.
Credit to Kaveh on Sky. The way he outlined the clubs finances today and repeatedly emphasised who is responsible for the debt was brilliant. Gained a lot of respect from me.
Bickering and bolloxology?
I'm here for it.
I'm here for it.
Go on Jassim son.
But don't you know they spent 1bn and we shouldn't be complaining?
He’ll have no problem providing proof of funds then.
Good point. Oh no! A third way!
Exactly!
He must have already provided proof of funds that's why he was invited to make the bid , term you are looking for is source of funds which is entirely separate thing .
HBJ! Welcome to the Caf your excellency, good to see you here.
Pedantic semantics, you know what he meant.
They are the best owners we’ve had in the last 17 years!!
The biggest tells here are no dividends being taken again and the credit stream being paid off (100m).
This is very much out of character and points to a full sale in my opinion.

I totally agree it’s like they are trying to squeeze the last pound out of the sale process.
I’m surprised more isn’t being made out of it tbh as it’s an actual fact we can go off.
It's semantics alright but the thing is people who think it's a state bid aren't changing their minds either way .
No evidence would convince them otherwise its it would simply be brushed aside as spin .
His father will have more than enough credibility with UK Govt and therefore PL however this might force the issue one way or another.
Best ownahs evaah!?!!!They are the best owners we’ve had in the last 17 years!!
In the last 17 years.
To be fair only one person thinks that the club won't be sold.

only who sorry?
I edited it.
On the contrary- I would love to be convinced that the bid has nothing to do with the state. I would be so so happy. Happy new year.
Ahh. There’s a few here banging the no sale drum that I’ve seen although I do think some are doing it for a reaction or ulterior motive.I edited it.
Meh. White text
Is that the case? Maybe for some but I'd imagine most people currently wanting the qataris in would have said they'd have swapped the Glazers for state ownership at any point in the last decade
Thanks for the welcome bro.HBJ! Welcome to the Caf your excellency, good to see you here.
The new King is also quite fond of his cash.
