Just asked someone who works in Investor relations in my company which is also on the NYSE if he heard any rumours on this and he said nothing at all

Plenty say they don't want this the deal to go through
Listing multiple reasons why they're morally superior to you
Everyone can agree Saudi Arabia has engaged in some dodgy affairs
Arguments have ensued about a range of different topics to the point where nobody cares
Silly to argue the concerns about this aren't valid, you've all made your point lets cutout the word salad
Even still not everyone is completely opposed to the idea, feck it if it ensures success bring on North Korea

Blood money at the wheel
United fans made to look like hypocrites, how will you feel?
You can bet any success we might achieve will be called fake, despite spending money we legitimately make

Maybe this takeover will be the last straw for quite a few
But not everyone will share that view
And without doubt new success will only bolster our fanbase further
Protests may well occur just like 2005, there was fecking murder
People will soon after once again tow the line
Eventually we'll have our best season since 99

My patience is running very thin. Wonder if this news was broken way too early and they're trying to save face.

It's been pretty clear for a while now that that is what he is suggesting. He has a MASSIVE chip on his shoulder. He wouldn't have a problem with people expressing distaste in the idea of Kim Jong-Un buying the club. I'm willing to bet we'd get none of the whataboutism and moral relativism in that case. Thankfully, he doesn't have the money.
If Islamophobia means critical analysis of a questionable ideology then so be it! I've added a couple of videos that describe some of my feelings on the current situation.


The Ben Affleck incident is also well worth a watch.

Don't think this will happen, it was one tweet nothing since.

Most of the smoke is coming from United fans rather than anything substantial.

So he'll make a fortune if he sells, that's not the same as having made a fortune already. Unlike the Glazers, he's also pumped a lot of money into that club.
See the post above answering someone else on this, basically if he sold for 2 billion, he’d profit to the tune of approx 1.2 billion. But he’s said he sets the price at 2.5 billion so he’d make even more if found a willing buyer.

And he is making a ton of money from it, the club is an asset that is appreciating at a massive rate, so it is making money right now. They even turned a 60 million odd profit in the last financial year.

There are sects of Muslims that are as Liberal or more Liberal than many Christians. But you want to wash the whole of the Islam religion as backwards and old testament.

There are Islamic countries that don't have this sort of violance to the degree suggested.

Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Crazy.
Yep not a genuine Davinci. He's so foolish he himself started the bidding at $300m+, no one even asked for anything close to that! But he just wanted to show his financial power :lol:, that's what you get for trying to be the big man! Will he even feel the pain in his pocket ? Not even for a second, while us mere mortals would have our lives transformed by that amount he's just laughing it off.

Have you watched the videos? There's some good points that show painting Islam with the same brush isn't what the aim is.

Even if there is a deal it's obviously not close or people like Stone and Cooper would be reporting on it.

Their silence also speaks volumes though. I'm surprised that no one from the club has denied it if it's not true.

Yeah, suppose they should've denied it by now, that could still be coming.

A company wouldn't wait until 5 mins before market opens for trading to announce this. You'd announce it 8 AM or earlier. M&A announcements are also often made over the weekend.

Guys, I don't really understand why you don't want this owner ?

Because they are morally not correct ?

They are not correct for the English perspective, but from their perspective, they are fine no ?

I mean, do you all think that the Glazers are better in terms of ethic ? Probably as dirty as every billionaires in this world.

We can let them buy the club (if they do), we can judge them with their choices, if they put money on Old Trafford, on Carrington, on youth, and of course the first team.

It's the same thing here in France. The PSG owners are always contested because of their origins.

So guys, if they put money on my club, if they invest correctly I would be happy with every owners.
That is one of the more problematic (to put it kindly) things I've ever read. It's hardly a uniquely English perspective to say that repression is wrong (not to mention things like torturing and killing and dissidents.)
