Reckon he’ll appoint his cycling guru to a high position within OT? I do.
Well at .least he will blow Liverpool's asthma inhalers out the window.
Everyone knows he has the good shit.
Just ask Sir Bradley.

So if this information is correct Jassim/state have been planning for this moment to happen for the last couple of years for United to become available? Or was there already communication between jassim/the state and the glazer’s about the possibility of a sale? Which begs the question are they really going to walk away at this point? And how does that make Ratcliffe look, has he just been used as a pawn?

Obviously this now means there is no doubt Qatar have won, but what if it's just some rich guy stopping in one of London's prestigious hotels?

The absolute state of him, he looks like Vecna with a disgusting pony tail. Poor bastard.

He can’t compete with Lens and Marseille? he’s about to enter his 5th season with Nice what the feck is he doing if they’re mid table at this point? The French league is poor. Lacazette is currently the leagues second top goal scorer with 25 goals he was washed up in the PL years ago.

The French league is shit. I’m not having any excuse why a multi billionaire who wants to own United and compete in the hardest league in the world can’t at least get in the mix for a Europa spot in France

I don’t buy your Swiss opinion either. How badly must it be run that he can’t even keep a club in that semi-pro league with his backing? something isn’t right with Ineos owning sports teams they’re awful at it.
I just feel that if you wanted to compete against PSG and co in French football — why the heck did you buy Nice to start with?

Isn’t it very obviously just a play to buy a football club and develop it long term?

I don't wish to get in the way of the giddiness, but Claridges also happens to be one of the best hotels in London and may simply be where Glazer was staying during his trip for the cup final. It is probably quite hard to find a top hotel in London that doesn't have some ME investment (Jassim himself owns one of the most expensive hotels in London, The Churchill in Portman Square).

One can only hope.
I don't know how many hotels of that caliber there are in London tbh but the Qataris owns 3 of the 4 I do know, the one they don't being The Ritz, so I'd imagine it's not uncommon to see the Glazers at one of these hotels when they're actually over in the UK.

I'm guessing Jassim isn't in the UK, nor is his dad and Avrams just here after the women's cup final.

Still, all hail Darth Jassim

Why not? It's an historical club, in a large french city that has very recent infrastructures.

Every time I go to any hotel anywhere, to stay there, or just have a meal or a drink, it's only ever because I'm about to close a deal with the owners.
