This is how the convo went.
The argument you’re making is that someone who is against Qatari ownership should do what if their house price rises because of Qatari investment in the area.
What is Manchester United expected to do?
If we take 3.5bn loan from Elliot then we are doomed. There needs to be widespread riots to stop that scenario.
100% spot on. If someone chooses to stop supporting United because of who the owner/s are, nobody has the right to tell them they’re wrong, but to act like they’re a moral authority over those who would continue to support the club is just comical.
The Glazers are cnuts who crippled the club and continue to do so. Don't understand how there is a United fan alive who could defend them.
What is a fan supposed to do?
You just tried to make a point using a basic logical fallacy while criticizing someone else’s logic. Hilarious, and totally on brand
What is my basic logical fallacy? Please explain.You just tried to make a point using a basic logical fallacy while criticizing someone else’s logic. Hilarious, and totally on brand
Option three: my life is too boring and I'm addicted to United. Like I know smoking is bad but I can't quit. My case btw.
Yeah just as you did.
Yeah fair. If you know it’s bad and still carry on, that’s fine!
I would rather call it indirectly. Directly implies that it is by choice, which would indeed be hypocritical. Only comparable part is that we can't do anything about it to a varying degree in both situations.

My argument is you should stop acting like you are morally superior to others.
Preach, feck these journo parasites with their cushy connections to the club, Whitwell chief among them.
That is extremely harsh and narrow view. If you are of that opinion then I hope you follow through with in any aspects of life where you can take a stand (phone, laptop, clothes, holidays etc.).
I have to admit I’m still bitter about this myself
But its funny to watch the hypocrisy and straw clutching when it comes to peoples greed.
No that isn’t your argument.
A reply of "I don't support or cheer for my phone" is incoming any moment.
If you’ve been posting against Qatari ownership and saying how disgusting the regime is for years and now support it - what other options are there?
Also I find it hilarious that lazy sports journos now suddenly are now beacon of morals. Like Delaney, who actively decided to work for a company owned by Russian oligarch plus big KSA investor (which then surely must have ties to House of Saud by their logic).
This! The media are a fecking disgrace.
I expect they're all just worried they're about to lose all their sources in the event of a takeover, which is highly likely.
I think you are already fully aware.
Either he doesn’t want to turn down the financial benefits of his situation or he is too attached to where he lives to moves.
It's fine, clearly his investigative powers only stretch only as far as other companies, not the one he works for.
No. Please explain.
Quite an interesting slant on it
Your argument is that I should have done what?
But we just accept there is no way to stop a Qatari buyout. Double standards and hypocrisy all over the shop. It’s fecking depressing.
Does that apply to many? Just find the whole guilt tripping thing a bit off, which seems to be aimed at everyone not completely morally disgusted at the possibility of ME ownership.
It’s not really though is it.That’s pathetic.
You should enter politics.
