He did a crappy job running PSG, and now doing an equally crappy job for this deal as it is dragging on forever. Useless!

The Glazers were just asking him for the phone number of the guy who has been offering them billions of pounds for the last few months, as he'd forgotten to include it. Nothing to see here.
I think it confirms that Glazers know it's a state bid and have reached out to someone (nasser) who they've got a relationship with (as ECA chairman), to wrap up the deal at their price.
Shh you can’t go against the narrative
I managed to read half of it before it blocked the article, didn't see anything other than conjecture.
If you or anyone else can read it then tell me I'm wrong.
If he’s done a crap job at psg wait until you hear about Jim’s running of Nice
Yeah, all those totally serious questions people would definitely have been asking had it been any club except their favourite one...
If its state backed, they'll get it. Might not be soon, but these feckers aint walking away from it if its clearly a state funded opportation.
You see one day it looks nailed on for ol’ wrinkle bollocks and then you start seeing all the Qatar news come back!
Long way to go strap yourselves in boys!

The story seems a bit nothing now that I've read it.
Basically Jassims team have used the PSG Chairman as an advisory, which is natural given he has a big standing in football already and has experience.
And Glazers just used him to ask Jassim to give them more money. They'd ask a homeless man for money, so nothing unusual there.

To be fair if you add this to the story Qatar have backed down from the deadline then it smells like something brewing
Not quite, just says the PSG guy was in contact with Jassim and the Glazers. Key takeaway for me is that Jassim's bids were always way off the mark... which means they were never close at all.
They'll sell at right price and are hoping Qatar stump up the cash.
Could be. Although they have stepped down from ficitive deadlines about 3 times now havent they? Just to increase their bid again
So you’ve read half an article by a reliable source and decided that it’s been written to discredit Qatar and make them seem like losers in the eventuality SJR wins?
Don’t think Ornstein and anyone else promoting this story care too much about that angle if I’m being honest mate. They’re there to report what’s going on.
If it’s state backed Qatar have got it. Shits got serious.
That's how it read to me too, it seems as if Al-Khelaifi has bee involved as an advisor from early on rather than that being a recent development and if the INEOS bid seemed to be leading after Sheikh Jassim's bid earlier this week then I don't think that article changes that reality. It also doesn't definitively prove that it's effectively a state bid, it just adds to the suspicions that already existed.
Not to me. The Qataris dont do "advisory." They're using the PSG chairman and his relationship with the Glazers to basically tell them its party time. Its a state backed takeover and they'll get their money. I cant see this as anything but a Qatar win.
How would you come to that conclusion? Seems far fetched
Indeed, it’s a nothing story, and a long way from the Athletics ridiculous headline of ‘PSG involved in Man United bid’. Fecking idiots.
Must mean they’re getting answers. It looks like they’re getting restless as in they expect to take over rather than the narrative that they don’t want to lose face. Obviously I pulled that out of thin air but if they’re having dialogue like this then I do understand why they’re frustrated about the slow progress
Then again, Keegan had already mentioned that the deadline isn't for an expiring bid. It's only everyone else that said the deadline is for an expiring bid.

Gross.
Nah Brighton won’t sell him
The Glazers had to go through him to get Jassim to raise his bid.
I have no idea mate like most of us. Hard to tell where we stand right now
Off course it's state backed this has been known all along. Shiekh Jassim and his dad do not the money for this and that surely just be obvious to annoying who does even a little research
The money has to come elsewhere.
At least we now know we have a potential owner with literal blood on his hands accused of kidnap and torture plus numerous human rights abuses.
Still in sure a lot of fans couldn't care less about that so long as we get their blood money to spend on players.
This will open a can of worms
The 'its not state backed posters' from last night are a little quiet right now aren't they?
Qatar Here We Go is imminent.
You’d forgive the INEOS posters for being a bit quiet at the moment.
A moment of silence for them
is it done yet?
In case anyone else is wondering, I already checked if I'm on Twitter with all these plastic muppets drooling here. Can confirm it's still the Caf.
You're celebrating becoming a marketing and sportswashing tool for Qatar. It says a lot about you mate.
Eventually when you grow up a bit you will see the other side to the argument.
Thanks. Not condescending at all.
How old are you out of interest?
Guys keep calm until we have some concrete news
Blame the billionaires for human rights, not the regular money buying fan. We're just simple men. We're just normal men.
