Mail and Express reader probably already get hard when any article about the royals is published and you can't make them more pro-Royal.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

This sounds familiar. Wait....... Yes, it is Glazers 2.0.
Look what happened the last time the press told us the EU was telling us what to do!
TAKE BACK CONTROL
The last thing we want is a British version of the Glazers. Imagine the American and the British version of the Glazers working together, we will be the laughing stock.
Just read the Nice fans are protesting? 
No shit. They have a multi billionaire owner who hasn't progressed the team at all.
Sitting mid table in France after 4 years is a failure.

Its all gone quiet from the Ratcliffe crowd. Shhhhh
It's all gone quiet full stop
If Ratcliffe was American his very same supporters would be vilifying him and shitting the prospect of him becoming owner.
But because he's 'one of our own' (with a Chelsea season ticket) and the Qataris will apparently turn Manchester into a medieval landscape, then he's supposedly our best option.

Sounds like extreme nationalism?
“Yeah but INEOS revenues are huge. Utds is a drop in the ocean in comparison.”Just read the Nice fans are protesting?

Is this actually genuine? I haven't seen it on any other news website. It seems weird that no English newspaper have picked up on this since it can be related to Manchester United.
getfootballnewsfrance doesn't exactly sound reliable.
Nice have qualified for a European competition twice since the INEOS takeover. So far its one qualification every two years. Thats perfectly fine for a club like Nice.
We had experience of what a Presidential style Head of State would be like under Blair. I don't think our royalty have instigated sending out forces out to commit genocide because they wanted to kiss the arse of a USA president.
Be careful what you wish for.
It's bizarre that so many United fans support oppression of women and democratic groups in Qatar.
Suspect there’s a big overlap in the Venn diagram between Jim supporters and those that voted for Brexit. Mind you, that was a majority of people in Britain, although I suspect it would be a lot less in favour if you reran the vote now.
Huh? Blair was PM. What has that got to do with getting rid of the Royals.
And the Irish have a very good Presidential model. You don't have to adopt the very odd US model.
The original interview is from L'equipe.
This paints a dark picture. The whole Ineos thing is more and more beginning to look like the Glazers but with a british passport.
And risk souring opinions on Britain's own Sir Jim
You are comparing apples with oranges though.
A choice between Sir Jim and Qatar is in no way comparable with voting to leave or remain in the EU.
Which United fans support this?
I think support is too strong. We all have to ignore things we don't agree with to different degrees.
'Support', very simplistic conclusion trying to make people feel guilty about wanting their club to be debt and Glazer free.
These sort of posts are so dumb. Literally nobody on here supports either of these. Some people want the Qatari bid because they believe the club will be run better under them than under Ratcliffe. This obviously does not equal supporting oppression of women or democratic groups. It's like asking why so many United fans support INEOS' commitment to destroying the planet and advancing global warming.
Ignoring the source of the money and what it's associated power also does is not exactly engaging the complexities.
Because if you get rid of the Royal Family, you will have to have a style replacement and we had that with Blair. When you wish to get rid of a system [as you obviously would have no problem with when getting rid of the Royals], you have to use your brain and think what would replace it.
And Ireland is a basket case being supported by EU money and totally hampered by religious beliefs, so good luck with that.
Which in a way is dismissing valid concerns and silence is often tantamount to support.
People support united now. Arent we owned by trump supporters and donators? Directly funding him?
Does that mean we support the killing of innocent civilians in Iraq or do we support gun laws that lead to thousands needlessly killed each year?
It also has a whiff of 'what the West does is morally right, and what the East does is morally wrong'.
Why are you supporting a company that's one of the biggest contributors to global warming, the rising extinction of species, the rising level of natural disasters, the rising level of homes being destroyed by said natural disasters, etc. These are all valid concerns also. Apparently you support global warming and all of the above through your silence
I couldn't give a bugger about any of the arguments as long as we sign M'bappe, etc, etc, etc.
I’m not saying they are comparable- that’s not how Venn Diagrams work
I only wanted Mbappe and now the thread has descended into a chaotic inferno of hate.
Again simplisitic guilt trip. No two societies in the world a exactly the same. Gun law in the US, the condition and treatment of animals in certain countries etc. Societies evolve over time. The UK was different 10 years ago let alone 50 or 100 years ago, just take the welfare of the trans communities, making people feel they have a right to live. However cutting off a society and importantly a football club to punish a different culture/society does not make any sense when the UK Government have encouraged billions of pounds of investment from those nations. We're not even the thin end of the wedge.
Sending your message by cutting off a society does send a message, but doing so when your own nation is not doing so does not make any sense, if you want to make that statement then get the government to legislate and remove all such investment.

You're preaching to the choir here, I'd very much prefer Qatar for many of the reasons you listed.
I do fear Ineos would be Glazers Woodward again. It's very possible Ratcliffe and his friends/family will think they can take the reigns and a big club will be easier to steer somehow. We even have many here saying the same thing but there's plenty of smaller clubs that have been transformed with decision making, Ineos have failed to do that so far. We've spent over a billion and got it all wrong due to people with poor vision and understanding of what's needed, we desperately need expertise and the right recruitments.
City have done everything right regardless of what other type of underhand payments. With what we spent we should've been competing, getting in lots of CL money and paying off a stadium/training grounds.
The more I look at Nice, we could go through the same pals act for 5-10 years while the penny drops they need to employ the right people from outside.
As United have shown, money is nothing without a plan and our owners and their pals have beat the law of averages, it's a catastrophic failure to not even get close to challenging the league in at least one of the past 10 years years or even stumble to a semi-final or final of the CL. We've spent far too long in Europa.

No we didn't. Not in any way. He was PM and no more more or less.
But it doesn't make any sense?
Would you say that there’s a big overlap in the Venn diagram between Qatar supporters and those that voted for Remain?
Welcome to the Internet.
I'd be against most governments (possibly all) buying United, for various reasons.
But if we ranked states then Qatar would be very far down the list of desired owners.
It does, especially as SJR is British.
