Can’t deny this is true. I know people will attack his character and not his argument. That alone says a lot.

No it doesn't Nine Two Holdings LLC (qfc.qa)The nine two foundation's public documents from when it was set up literally list state money, as well as loans, as one of the possible sources of funding.
No different from any other investment fund. Sovereign wealth funds are active investors now so money from QIA, PIF, Mubadala etc can be in any number of investment funds and vehicles including 92FThe nine two foundation's public documents from when it was set up literally list state money, as well as loans, as one of the possible sources of funding.
INEOS' audited financial statements as at 31 December 2022 are available, that's not obviously to today's date but it's pretty reliable. My point was to someone who said that if you flipped the bids that nobody would be complaining, I just responded that that's not a cultural or racial issue for most people but because a lot (myself included) suspect that this is probably a state bid, if you don't then that's fair enough, and if it isn't then there's very limited information available about Jassim.My apologies I missed the Chair, however the rest about a front stands.
You can see a reported/communicated historical position for INEOS, not their position. If you're struggling with Jassim's position that is on you and not him. I've always stated the process will determine whether he has the money, his father seems to think he has.
Hi Avram, when are you going to sell?Andy Mitten thinks De Gea should be given a new contract and be #1 next season. Not directly relevant but it's typical of his judgement on all things football related - very poor.
He is always banging on about speaking to these wonderful 'sources' and 'contacts' he supposedly has but he hardly ever puts pen to paper and gets exclusive breaking news like Whitwell or Ornstein. Funny that.
He's a BS artist. No better than those bizarre Qatari twitter accounts you see posted here sometimes.
Thought it sounded a bit fanciful.Me neither -

On the Talk of the Devils podcast he said he has earned a new contract but not necessarily be our number 1.Andy Mitten thinks De Gea should be given a new contract and be #1 next season. Not directly relevant but it's typical of his judgement on all things football related - very poor.
I'm well aware, analysed and discussed the FS for INEOS, including their limitations. I wouldn't use the term reliable for a subjective document. That aside, and in response to the race/culture issues. It's too difficult to tell if it is or isn't, if wealthy Qatar is a sub-culture and that is how they have developed norms it could be possible. That is taking race/culture as a social construct, not biology.INEOS' audited financial statements as at 31 December 2022 are available, that's not obviously to today's date but it's pretty reliable.

This is so true. Mitten loves the sound of his own voice. Every podcast he is on has him saying some variation of the following 'I am a journalist, this is what I do; I talk to my sources to get a story; I am a good journalist.' Also, his sanctimonious statements about "internet or twitter" fans is something else. He is one reason why I discontinued my Athletic membership.Andy Mitten thinks De Gea should be given a new contract and be #1 next season.

He has his ear to the ground with all things Man Utd though, he's closer to the club than most.Mitten is a features writer. 6000 words on the day a lad from the academy stayed behind to practice corners. Not sure I'd call him a journalist though
In what way? Can you quote?Andy Mittens comments on UWS are pretty interesting. Mentions that a source believes the entire sale process has been immoral and borderline illegal. The source says it would have never been allowed under the UK Stock exchange rules.
You posted about fires at INEOS plants trying to compare that to the migrant worker scandal in Qatar. Working with petrochemicals, fire is probably an occupational hazard. It was a stupid comparison that needed calling out. It wasn’t a personal thing, I have no problem with you in that regard.A poster told me ‘Shame on you’ for bringing this up as it’s incomparable to what Qatar do apparently. Apparently because Sir Jim is English it’s okay to do this stuff. This is also the tone of the media so I don’t blame redcafe posters. Propaganda.
Can you show me reliable data to back up the statement?
Really? Of course he says that (like every two minutes on that boring Talk of the Devils podcast), but I’ve not heard him come out with any news, really. That’s not saved by his “stories” either: they’re all boring a f*ck!He has his ear to the ground with all things Man Utd though, he's closer to the club than most.
Aye. The guy probably has the phone number of every ex player or staff member in the last 30 years. I respect the fact that he uses it to get long form interviews rather than just throwing rumours around.You know how insane this place must be getting when folk are starting to take potshots at Andy Mitten and claim he doesn't have club contacts ffs.
Can you explain how you think they will make money from United?I don't trust the INEOS people an inch, I think they're out to make money out of us,
I don't want a Western government to own United either, so sorry but this argument doesn't work.The west has caused so much havoc in so many parts of the world so we do not have the right to tell others who be righteous.
I don't think it has anything to do with racism or passports either. I am just so fed up with this moral highground towards these countries.
You mean sources that admit they cannot assess his worth reliably, which doesn't mean he is worth 1b. The most reliable source is Jassim and his father, his father says it's Jassim's investment. so...Every single reliable source has him at 1 billion net worth
Mitten is great. He doesn’t create toxicity slagging everyone at the club off or comment on every single made-up transfer rumour though so he’s not really in fashion these days.You know how insane this place must be getting when folk are starting to take potshots at Andy Mitten and claim he doesn't have club contacts ffs.
You mean sources that admit they cannot assess his worth reliably..
More importantly; his name is also Mitten, which makes me think of kitten mittens and that makes me happy.Aye. The guy probably has the phone number of every ex player or staff member in the last 30 years. I respect the fact that he uses it to get long form interviews rather than just throwing rumours around.
Yeah, especially the bolded. When he called Januzaj a "knob" in the latest podcast it makes you appreciate that Januzaj reaaaallly must have been a knob.Mitten is great. He doesn’t create toxicity slagging everyone at the club off or comment on every single made-up transfer rumour though so he’s not really in fashion these days.
You are absolutely certifiably the most clueless tool on this forum. You were put right by many posters about Andy last time you attacked him. Dunno what the problem is but Andy is one of a few United journalists with integrity who deserves the respect of the fan base.He's a BS artist. No better than those bizarre Qatari twitter accounts you see posted here sometimes.
He'd have to have minimum 20-25bn to be able to spend 6bn on the club and 2-3bn on everything else needed. Nobody is going to invest every penny they own are they?You mean sources that admit they cannot assess his worth reliably..
No; you're trying to imply a reliable figure to information deemed unreliable. That Sir is reaching. I go further, you're applying western thinking to financial disclosure when financial theory built on hofstede's cultural dimensions tell us that cultures have different norms and values within financial openness/communication.You are reaching
Again, you don't knowHe'd have to have minimum 20-25bn to be able to spend 6bn on the club and 2-3bn on everything else needed. Nobody is going to invest every penny they own are they?
This is how we know the bid isn't really his money. He's a front man nothing more.
Unfortunately not mate. Not seen the full article myself.In what way? Can you quote?
I have found the apparent handling of the sale thus far very odd and would be interested to hear what he says.
Haven't heard that before. Link?

I would be very careful in saying that the debt will be no longer an issue under RatcliffeI think a lot of us fans are feeling similar now. If Qatar has the cash I would welcome them but they’ve given me very little indication despite the promises they can fullfill it.
End of the day we want the club to be safe. Jim despite his short comings has the capital and its proven. The club will be safe and our debt is no longer an issue.
This is still a win considering the circumstances of the past 18 years. We’ve seen some owners take great football clubs, come in unknown and completely destroy the thing once their funding is taken away somehow.
We know with Jim that won’t happen.
Journalist who this time last year were saying Varane was the problem and a new CB was needed to partner Maguire ?Let's keep it to actual journos.
Yeah much as I want Jassim to take over there is no way I would bring a Qatar flag to gameWhat an absolute geebag bringing a Qatar flag to a United game. That is so mind-blowingly cringey and disgusting. "I want to be like City and Newcastle".
Christ almighty. That post has actually given me the heebie jeebies. It makes me so uncomfortable to see someone, out in public, who thinks they are helping, so clearly and massively misunderstand the club and it's history/traditions. Is this what people mean when they say a tweet has given them AIDS?
Edit: Looking at yer mans twitter some more I'd say he might not be all there, so I'll refrain from further comment.
Tbh he's not the first United fan to have a terrible opinion on something. Happens to the best of us.Journalist who this time last year were saying Varane was the problem and a new CB was needed to partner Maguire ?
