Talking of King Cnut. Whatever happened to Boring/King of all cnuts?
Ahh. Impressive. I'm sure you've been quoted on fan channels.Both Messier1994 and SwedishRumble are aliases…
It’s my twitter.
I keep reading so much what the Qataris would do if they were succesful in the takeover... but is that of any interest to Glazers?
If I'm selling my car and I get two bids for it. One says he'll pay 15000 and he's gonna use it as a fun project where he's gonna go off road racing. The other bid is 13000 but he says he's gonna take good care of it, change oil and filters on a yearly basis and so on
Why would I care what happens when I sell it? I'd rather have 15000 in my bank account than 13000...
So can someone inform me if there's any sort of interest to the Glazers to listen to the promises stated by the bidders?

I think that's PR for the fans.
That's just wishful thinking. You don't know if that's something he's going to do or not.
We’ve done that recently. I think we’d just need someone to report to the owners that they are familiar with. Without ruining the manager director relationship we currently have.
Just me though.
Yeah of course... I'd love no debt, new stadium, new training facilities and so on! But I was wondering if that's of any interest whatsoever to the Glazers?
read back a bit, I’m not explaining it again
That’s nonsense in fairness, the biggest company the Glazers owned my Manchester United, and it therefore had to pay for itself, and then some!!!
INEOS absolutely dwarfs United so it’s not remotely comparable.
If ineos is so great than surely it can tank all the debt? Also how had nice/Lausanne faired with such juggernaut at its side? How many trophies has they won?
Your tracking back and deflecting doesn't constitute "explaining" anything. Might want to be a little more informed next time before making silly remarks.
But they're keeping the debt so what difference does it make if they're richer than the Glazers or not?
The fact that they won't have full ownership of the club means that no additional investment will be added. So again I'm asking how will it be any different? And why are people so confident that they won't be taking any dividends?
Looking at those messages I fail to see why it doesn’t discredit JR. Certainly a question mark over his decision making when it comes to the football side
With minority investment from hedge fund vultures? That appears to be the choice.
Huh? I was asking you to read back a bit for context so you could understand my point.
I said illegal by mistake, it should be described more like "forbidden" or extremely difficult, or something like that. But really, it doesn't matter.
If it is autocorrect it shows how much he types that naughty word.
Have there been any issues with City’s Women’s team?
Funnily enough the Qatari bid mentions the women’s team.
Has this happened at PSG and Man City?
They’ve become one of the best and well paid teams in the league. Get the impression the women’s team won’t mind as they will get paid more.
The Glazers on the other hand when they came disbanded the women’s team and then only bought one into the WSL after some pressure 13 years later.
I do like that set up but pretty sure the Qatari's said that anyone already at the club will get the chance to prove themselves
And are currently on half the budget of City, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Nothing funnier than seeing people embarrassing themselves with ignorance and playing the "I don't want to dicuss this" card when corrected
add to that the poster had been going for a day or twoOfcourse there's a difference. Legality is a matter of a law, and you got it wrong, because you had no clue what you were talking about. You can keep scrambling if you'd like.
His last few replies have been funny. It's amusing to watch people so intransigently double down, or deflect, rather than simply say they were uninformed. It's always a "but I mean x. Context mate. What I meant was..." before attempting to misrepresent what they originally said, which was just wrong.
The whole reason club is being sold is because it’s been run poorly, club has fallen behind commercially, fallen behind on the pitch and losing millions a month. Arnold has been part of that for years, so have numerous others so a lot of them will be very fortunate to stay.
When the Glazers took us over they took over a successful business with employees who had a track record of success to point to, same can’t be said for many of the current ones
I doubt they’ll be wholesale changes straight away because of the likely timing of the takeover but within first year I’d expect a big turnover. We haven’t been run like a football club under the Glazers, no emphasis on growth or ambition just servicing the Glazers interests. If someone comes in and changes all that there is very little incentive to keep a lot of the senior staff.
what are you referring to here?
I actually acknowledged I made a mistake very clearly. I've since been trying to explain what my point was but you're not interested in listening, so let's move on.
Firstly it is not derailing the thread. Ridiculous claim. It is very relevant to discuss comparative actions of our potential owners.
To answer your 3 pretty silly and leading questions.
No.
Possibly.
Possibly.
Feel better?
You mean the recent protests, game cancellations and star player speaking out against the owners in a worldwide broadcasted interview? Which happened within 12 months of the owners deciding to sell?
Ok im being too scathing. Maybe you're right. But if you look at history, most action starts with a discussion. Regardless of timelines to the final conclusion.
So you have formed a strong opinion about something you haven't even bothered to watch. Then decided to post about it. Classic.
Maybe you need to be pre scripted.
Nice are still currently the second most form team in France over the past 10 games, the nothing Swiss team looks likely to gain promotion. Amazon just took a massive loan, no none state entity just ”tanks” all debt to please numpties on tinternet.
Regardless, none of that has f-all to do with my post, which stated that being owned by a giant corporation like INEOS that can easily maintain billions in loans without United’s help, is nothing like the Glazers, who couldn’t and therefore had no choice but to make the club pay for everything.

Never and it's abject fantasy thinking it'll happen with ours but what would this thread be with unrealistic hypotheticals and hyperbole involving the big bad Qatari’s?
I don't think the protests or CRY37's interview with the worst person in British media had anything to do with Glazers' decision to sell.
Chelsea's sale is the main reason + our precarious cashflow state are the real reasons, in my opinion.
