When it comes to reliability Ferdinand would have better sources around the club to identify and receive information compared to any journalist due to his network. I don't believe anything can be considered concrete until the deal is announced officially. The share price has maintained its peak so to speak so it's clearly more than just speculation and optimism driving that metric.

To be fair to Rio he did call the Ronaldo deal.

Jesus, that day Ronaldo was said to be going to City only to join United could probably be the best day we have had as United fans in the last decade. How sad is that?
For you maybe.... No night tops that night in Paris for me in the last 10 years.

Interesting as Rio loves the club and he’s not into hyperbole normally, could be an educated guess but don’t underestimate his connections within old Trafford, could be Cath telling him she been told to order 50 KGs of Arabic Tea, two dozen shisha pipes and stock up on the halal chicken and lamb.
The man helped with a transfer not two summers ago. He has his sources

Rio knew about Ronaldo because they're mates. Has anyone seen Rio and Jassim at Nandos to confirm they are also mates and verify his news?
Yeah it’s more his deep connections with the club.

Thanks bud. It aligns to what others have said earlier as well. My interpretation on wumm's posting was that it sounded like majority of matchgoers were overwhelmingly against Qatar because "the understand the club" etc etc. Oh well....good to know!
There was a minority on here that immediately tried to push the narrative that locals were against Qatar; it was never true and was only really done for virtue signalling and one-upmanship.

I didn't know we could do that hidden thing here.

If we're getting news leaked out to Rio then I'd expect an announcement later today...It won't be a "final" announcement but that a "bid has been accepted and both parties will now go through contractual and regulatory procedures....no further comment etc until all in place.

This will hopefully provide a nice window where we can get in the signings we want before other clubs know how much cash we have

Not surprised to Rio making these claims and...what's the appropriate term...putting his neck on the line?

Are the most anti-Qatar-takeover staunch posters going to to leave the caf if Jassim wins?

It's a male thing. You let someone know that you like a certain bands music and it'll be his life's mission to prove he's a bigger fan than you based on the fact he had a bootleg copy of the concert at Aberdeen civic hall in 1971
Then someone else comes along and insists they were the one with the original recording that all the bootleg copies came from.

:lol:

He obviously posts on redcafe, so the real question is, who is he…?

Would the real JD Deitch please stand up? I repeat, would the real JD Deitch please stand up?

We’re gonna have a problem here

Y'all act like you never been to Old Trafford before
Sandwiches full of prawns - like Keano warned in the years before

It's the return of the -, oh, wait, no way, you're kidding
He didn't just tweet what I think he did, did he?
And Sheikh Jassim said -, nothing you idiots
Sheikh Jassim's dead, he's locked in my basement (haha)

T0p Red wankers love JD Deitch
Chicka-chicka-chicka Slim JD, I'm proud of him
Look at him, walkin' around, tweetin' his you-know-what
Offending you-know-who, yeah, and he's so cute too

Yeah, Old Trafford’s got a couple of screws up in the roof loose
But no worse, than what's goin' on in Avram’s bedroom
Sometimes I wanna get on MUTV and just let loose, but I can't
But it's cool to tweet garbage with even less proof

My bum is on the seat, my bum is on the seat
And that means your opinion is inferior to me…
And that's the message that I deliver in silly tweets
Why do people fall asleep when they’re stuck listening to me…?

Of course, they're gonna know what localism is
By the time they hit Brexit,
They got the GB News Channel, don't they?

We ain't nothin' but match going fans
Well, some of you are non match going fans
Who live in other countries and foreign lands

But if we can play Weghorst up top and manage though
Then there's no reason that Sir Jim can’t takeover the planet bro
So if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote
T0p Reds wave your pantyhose, sing the chorus and it goes...


I'm Slim JD, yes, I'm the real JD
All you other Slim JDs, are just imitating
So won't the real Slim JD, please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up

Cuz I'm Slim JD, yes, I'm the real JD
All you other Slim JDs, are just imitating
So won't the real Slim JD, please stand up?
Please stand up, please stand up
Brilliant mate keep it up.

It's mind boggling....like other matchgoers weren't going to eventually see or call it out...& on top of it, slight insinuations of foreign fans being glory hunters/and or lacking some kind of morals :lol:

Anyhow, i'll just keep letting them go in circles and just wait until actual news is released!

Rio called the Ronaldo deal because the source was Ronaldo himself. He acts like a muppet rest of the time, even if he got some contacts at the club.
