You'll need better sources than that to convince the Caf experts, mate.
Club Sale | It’s done!

They're followed by some prominent sports and business based journos on twitter, if that means anything.
Glazers would be mental to turn that down. I feel sorry for Sir Jim as I think he sincerely wanted to be our owner and would have been a fine custodian for the club, but there was never any chance of him competing with an obviously state-funded bid.
Are you 12 years old?
I'm sure he would have genuinely loved the opportunity to own United but I don't know how he, as a fan, would want debt on the club.
I do like the idea that both bids would be accounting for the debt at taking it off their valuation.
Jassim, INEOS and Zilliacus to joint forces to become the JIZ group and rid us of the Glazers. Cocks out
Nice one.

Erm, that's how these things work. It's usually based on Enterprise Value which includes debt.
I think Sportico seem to be good with sports business based news and look to have some good journalists who would know what they are talking about as opposed to tabloid based sports jornos.
Say what you want about the Qatari, they certainly have the arrogance to own UnitedTweet

Same. Perhaps he’ll consider partnering with another bidder…fingers crossed anyway.
I just wouldn’t have the same feeling for the club if it’s owned by Qatar.
Sportico reference them regularly, I don't think they're chancers at all
Because boy Jasim hasn't done anything in his life except being lucky enough to born rich. It's completely normal for him to think like this. "let them eat cake?"Tweet

You actually believe that’s a true quote
Where is this 6bn ball park, and why will the new bid be in there? Is this some sort of billionaire's scavenger hunt? Or are they just getting ideas for New Trafford?
Pretty much (if the state is backing you).
They're playing a bit of a game at the moment. They've repeatedly said they won't overspend, then they say there's no point in Ratcliff bidding. Despite what they say to the media, they would rather not lose this than pay daft money, they're just trying to make sure Ratcliff doesn't push them into the $7b region.Tweet

Sheikh Jassim is amused there was a bidding and multiple meetings about this silly stuff.Tweet

Not to mention the fact that he has feck all in terms of money in terms of what it takes to buy United. This is clearly a state funded attempt by the nation state of Qatar to buy Man United, by using some random ruling class stooge as the public face of the project.
Thanks, I love that gif so much. It's the best. The last sky point slays me every time.
They really don't say that unless you believe all the fake quotes, like the one in the tweet.
No they didn't. They said they did, which shows them to be liars. The Boehly takeover was reported before May 6th elsewhere.
The Telegraph broke it on April 29 and Sportico tried to claim it as an exclusive a week later

Poirot is here!!
That’s true, but it’s being thrown around a lot
He's not wrong, you'd need the wealth of Musk or bezos to be able to compete with an oil stateTweet

Yeh but it's fine because the club we aspire to be are also owned by a State
It's probably some cash but also some deal in Qatar or some redevelopment deal around OT that's valued at XXX millions.
Let's see who's in the 92Foundation.
Yeah, except i don't think most would agree we aspire to be like them.Yeh but it's fine because the club we aspire to be are also owned by a State
Made all the more...cringe...by the attempt to portray the stooge as a die-hard United fan.
I don't know if it should be called painfully obvious or comically obvious.
@Raoul what can we make about the stock prices rising in the last hour?
Isn’t he from Lazytown?
Nothing that crazy. It’s just back to where it was before yesterdays losses.
We can make that someone has seen the bids and a full sale is probable
Well, at least they are entertaining us, unlike the Glazers who had to make even this thing so fecking difficult.Tweet

The line "only way we can compete" is used frequently to justify why we need these types of owners.
While not the same as aspiring to be City, it may as well be.
I'm against Qatari ownership btw
Same sort of vibe as when my 4 year old daughter insists she can beat me at football in the back garden and even when she’s 27-0 down she’s still chatting shit and throwing herself into tackles. She wants to me to let her score a goal, but I tell her every single time that she has to earn it. If you’re not earning, you’re not learning, I’ll shout to her as she runs into the house to cry to my wife.Tweet

I don't know why this is seen as fake, it is not improbable. Most PL fans from overseas who grew up in 90s and 2000s watching PL on TV are United fans.
