It’s certainly more refreshing than the infighting here. TikTok is where all the reliable sources are now mate!
Honestly, this stuff is way better than arguing about Nice.

That wouldn't even make sense as why would the Glazers care about signing players in a timely fashion if they are to have no future involvement? The logic doesn't even work.Take this with a pinch of salt and shit all over my post if you wish as it may be complete bollocks…there’s a guy on tiktok who’s been doing videos in the last couple of weeks on the sale. He claims to have a contact who’s very closely involved in the takeover.
Anyway, long story short he’s made a few ITK claims recently, in particular the fact Sheikh Jassim was going to put a 4th bid in. He reported it was happening a day or so before any news broke which is where people have started giving him credibility.
Anywayyy, the same guy is claiming the deal with Sheikh Jassim is done and the Glazers have even gone as far as asking the Sheikh if they can use some of his investment money to put towards transfers right now.
He’s not revealed who his contact is til now but has said today it’s someone on the Qatar side. Anyway, interested to see if it’s true or complete bollocks. He claims that’s what’s going to be revealed this week.
Did he actually promise this or is it another ‘caf fact’? Can remember a bunch of quotes from when he was buying them but not these specific promises that are flung on here every two or three pages.He didnt even manage to keep his promise about consistent european football though.
Its very difficult to notice as it was a very slow and gradual decline TBH. SAF was getting sentimental, top players were leaving/getting old and weren't really being replaced adequately, sometimes we were lucky (who would have believed that Carrick and Vidic would turn out the beasts they became?) and those who highlighted a decline in standards (ex Rooney) were quickly silenced. Then of course they was the slackness at the top like SAF's spat with 2 major shareholders on a frigging horse. That shouldn't happen at a well run club.Can’t really disagree or agree. Although as a PLC we spent 100s of millions building Carrington, developing OT from 45000 to 75000 stadium in 10 or so years.
Before the glazers came we were the biggest earning club in the world. Then dropped in the seasons after they took over and only reclaimed top spot in 2013. You probably have a point the drop was due to our marketing becoming stale regardless of the Glazers takeover.

Is this for real…?His sons are involved
It would make a neat transfer window strategy to save money, by making it look like we’re penny pinching under the Glazers and then boom release the news that Qatar owns United once we’ve bought everyone we need, and we didn’t get fleeced in the market.Take this with a pinch of salt and shit all over my post if you wish as it may be complete bollocks…there’s a guy on tiktok who’s been doing videos in the last couple of weeks on the sale.

They said in different occasions that they intend to compete with Marseille, Lyon or Monaco and be the second best team and also said that they had for ambition to compete with PSG. The second one could be forgiven because it's more recent but the first one is far from being the case.He promised to compete with PSG for the title and mount a strong European challenge, neither of which have transpired.

Where? Source of the actual quote?He promised to compete with PSG for the title and mount a strong European challenge, neither of which have transpired.
My niece goes to school with the daughter of a well-renowned middle-eastern journalist. She said, and I quote, "Aayega to Sheikh hi" (Whatever happens, the Sheikh will win).

Who knows. Let’s see. Shouldn’t be long now. It’s all so tedious and typical of Glazers. Will be delighted to see the back of them.That’s just what the QatariFC guy is saying on Twitter
Think I’d need to stay away from this forum & all Man Utd social media platforms as the inevitable meltdowns would be astronomical.This must be one of the worst long running thread in Redcafe history. Atleast transfer threads have some videos and humour. Imagine after all this, Glazer decides to stay back.

It would be quite funny.Think I’d need to stay away from this forum & all Man Utd social media platforms as the inevitable meltdowns would be astronomical.
Yeah that just doesn't make much sense does it.That wouldn't even make sense as why would the Glazers care about signing players in a timely fashion if they are to have no future involvement? The logic doesn't even work.
They didn't misinterpret it, it's not from the same quote.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...rules-liverpool-buyout-saying-ligue-1-offers/Where? Source of the actual quote?
All I've seen anything close to that is from Bob Ratcliffe. source
“Our ambition is to be in the Champions League in three to five years. We want to compete with PSG, Lyon and the other big clubs in France."
"We want to compete to finish in the top four in Ligue 1 and become one of Europe’s best training centres, like Ajax, for example, so we want to work on the infrastructure and the training grounds.”
And,
In a statement on Nice's official website, INEOS president Ratcliffe said: "With some sensible, measured investment, we want to establish Nice as a team that competes in European club competition on a regular basis. And importantly, sustain it."
Everywhere else it has been misinterpreted by partially quoting "We want to compete with PSG" of the first quote I posted. like here
And they have been doing that from day one, a spokeperson stating that they want to compete with certain teams, while keeping a certain ambiguity."Our position has developed since the summer and we are now focusing our efforts in Nice and raising our ambitions for the club to make them into a top tier club in France to compete with PSG," said a spokesman. "This would represent much better value for our investment than buying one of the top tier Premier League clubs."
The Last Farce VIIIPlease let this be the last farce this club has to endure for a while...
That just seems like a telegraph source at Nice which they quoted as a spokesperson? Any actual statement or quote from someone specific running the club?They didn't misinterpret it, it's not from the same quote.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...rules-liverpool-buyout-saying-ligue-1-offers/
And they have been doing that from day one, a spokeperson stating that they want to compete with certain teams, while keeping a certain ambiguity.
I agree SAF became too loyal to class of 92. But it was post glazer takeover thatIts very difficult to notice as it was a very slow and gradual decline TBH. SAF was getting sentimental, top players were leaving/getting old and weren't really being replaced adequately, sometimes we were lucky (who would have believed that Carrick and Vidic would turn out the beasts they became?) and those who highlighted a decline in standards (ex Rooney) were quickly silenced. Then of course they was the slackness at the top like SAF's spat with 2 major shareholders on a frigging horse. That shouldn't happen at a well run club.
Most of us didn't care and while I was in a minority I understand why they did so. Who gives a damn when trophies kept flowing in especially by a team who was, quite frankly, likeable.
Or it's a spokeperson, who told them what the coach confirmed on camera?That just seems like a telegraph source at Nice which they quoted as a spokesperson? Any actual statement or quote from someone specific running the club?

oh ok, my bad. That's from this season? Anyway I was looking at quotes relating to the owner's goals for the club when they bought it given the post I was replying to.Or it's a spokeperson, who told them what the coach confirmed on camera?

I have no issues with people wanting Qatar. I know why really people want them. It's blatantly obvious. Everyone wants them for that seemingly endless pit of money.That's fair enough just to add that even though I am not anti or pro Any buyer for United what I am quite certain of is that United is actually one of few Clubs who are fully capable of success on its own due to it's rich history and revenues as long as we get Competent owners , because at the end of the Day no matter how rich you are there only 11 players who take the field at given point in time .
So I am fairly ok with who ever ends owning United including Glazers if they can somehow manage to become competent and run United efficiently .
As for my rant my apologies I just sometimes feel every one in world has become so polarized and entrenched in their views that every thing becomes a points scoring contest rather than leading to nuanced discussion and debate to build better understanding where each one is coming from .
Just to add I actually agree with most of points you have made about Qatar but What I feel is We need to give them space and time to evolve on their own pace hope fully changes would come there for better in due course of time as well .
Yeah the Ratsuckers are making it up as they go along. As far as i know he hasn’t mentioned that he will buy the clib using debt.Wasn't it stated that the unknown will completely clear the debt from Manchester United? I'm not sure where this part is coming from. Is there some new update I haven't read?
The owners goals are all over the place and I suspect purposely stated in a way that allow them to deny or interpret things how they want. But as I said above, we can ignore the competing with PSG part, they aren't competing with Marseille or Monaco, they have been competing with midtable teams and been regularly outperformed by promoted teams or former relegation candidates.oh ok, my bad. That's from this season? Anyway I was looking at the owner's goals for the club when they bought it given the post I was replying to.
Worked out well beforeHis sons are involved
Which could be said for pretty much every angle sports journalists have explored throughout this saga. As someone said, despite pretending to be mouthpieces or close to the situation - chances are they all know feck all outside of financial journalists.Yeah that just doesn't make much sense does it.
