The thing I find bizarre is how his Dad’s instagram account always has pictures of all the family including a lot of Jassim’s brother, but literally none of Jassim himself, other than the recent sat round a table brain fart photo. Even at the WC he was nowhere to be seen but both his Dad and Brother were. Does anyone have an explanation for this?
I didn't know HBJ had IG

Don't know about you but i go out of my way not to feature on my parents' socials !

Says he works/worked for various banks? You have to live in the country you’re working in for those roles. He was also schooled in England as a kid which is why he supports United.
Only for QIB currently. He didn't really "work for" Credit Suisse. He was a board member but that's not a day job. People hold entirely different day jobs as CEOs of other companies, and yet are members of the board at another. Companies' boards meet quarterly or more often to discuss matters that senior management (CEO/CFO/Business Unit heads) bring to them, or that they want to bring to these people. But board members can jet in to attend those, and have also long (much before the pandemic) been able to connect via phone.

Daddy is thirsty for rumour

Where is Mike Keegan??

I hope for something tonight but I'm guessing that won't happen yet due to the Eid.

JR does love an attempted big club purchase :lol:

If he doesn’t get United I wonder who the next attempt will be? Fourth time lucky perhaps?
I dont know why he isn't trying or has tried for clubs like Newcastle, Villa ,Liverpool (before FSG) etc. They all have had huge potential and won't be as costly as United or Chelsea.

If Sheikh Jassim were appearing in any other context than to potentially be United's (likely state-backed) sugar daddy, most people here would probably despise him. He's a nepo baby that's never earned any of the jobs he's had nor any of the wealth he's acquired.
He's the same as the very people we are all desperate to get rid of.

What are the odds the Glazers stay and start selling pieces of the stadium to fund players.

The media are really trying to portray that both parties are still in the race, gotta be incredible naive to think both parties are just sat there twiddling their thumbs waiting for the phone to ring.
I would think The Athletic are repositioning themselves as having covered Jassim's assent, having previously pushed Sir Jim's chances and progress. Now they can say, we told you they were both very close.

He just isn’t very good is he? Tried to buy at least 3 clubs and failed each time.

All talk and no substance. When ever it comes to putting up the cash, billionaire Ratcliffe goes running to the banks to get a loan. The blokes a moron.

Some will give Ratcliffe a pass for bidding (and failing) to purchase several clubs before United, despite claiming to be a lifelong fan and INEOS using "putting the Manchester back in Manchester United" as a selling point to the fans. Yet the same lot will mock the Qatari bid for the Keegan report claiming Jassim wears his United shirt to 5 a side. Isn't that odd?

Yeah, the Jimmy Glazer meme is real. Even as a joke/play for favour, he can piss off.

How do these two things relate? Not clear what point you’re trying to make.
