I get that, and I hope everyone's having fun. I'm just spoiling the party really so I'm going to go and do something else instead of pissing all over everyone's hopes and dreams

Kingdom holding are the big ones I think, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Holding_Company
You're thinking inside the box of rules and regs the Saudis and feck you money don't care about.
The only thing that would stop a Saudi bid is the other PL clubs pissing their pants.
Even if you don’t have a FB account?
I mean they own WhatsApp and Instagram as well
Apple was always bullshit. 
Problem with all this is that the we don't have some sort of guardian angel overseeing this like Cheslea did, the Glazers will have the final say, and it will be the highest bidder end of, no matter what horrors that might bring us.
The FA have proven enough times they have a very low bar when it comes to approving who owns premiership teams.

Verified so must be true
Instagram, Whatsapp? They own those too.
They've been around for years now, they have all the leaks on new apple products way before it gets seen by anyone outside of Apple. They often post factory schematics and such, they're reliable when it comes to all things Apple.
I’m not really sure what’s so funny about that … you should maybe check some of the owners of clubs in the PL and see their backgroundPeople really think a company that makes phones and computers is going to spend billions of dollars to buy a football team
Seems likely that they’ll put a bid in.
There’ll be someone willing to give an arm and a leg to own us.
MacRumors are a big apple fan site.
MacRumours are a big fansite. They don’t really use their own sources though from my experience - more an aggregator site. This is the source - he said it was nonsense when it broken this morning - no idea if he is reliable.
They're an aggregator.
The Apple link is fun and entertaining, but to believe it seriously is.....silly.
They ain't: https://www.macrumors.com/
Have you bothered to read their article?
With the current sponsor thinking of doing a runner has anyone done a mock up of their logo on a United shirt yet?
Nope, it starts with "British tabloid The Daily Star reported earlier today" and that's enough to know it's certified bullshit. I presumed you were referring to MacRumours as the aggregator, which they're not, they have credibility when it comes to Apple news.
Probably every tabloid for tomorrow's back page
His bio says he runs the fansite!
So they are or they aren’t an aggregator?!
I’m not hanging my hat on what they say anyway.
All options on the table
Think he’s a reporter on macrumours. Usually they just post what others say so I have no idea if they have their own good sources.
Most sites describe them as an aggregator but I'd say they have more credibility than that.
Can't wait for my next trip to iTrafford
It is, can't believe we actually have people here believing that nonsense...Apple was always bullshit.
Did anyone actually believe the Apple rumours? It wont be a listed corporation that will buy us. Imagine the outrage of the shareholders. It will be filthy rich privates, consortiums or state backed investors.
My iPhone 4 still going strong. Not even lying. My dad uses it now.
That dude has an unhealthy obsessive hatred for Apple.
Macrumours are pretty much Apple. They always get the insider info about upcoming products and OS improvements before the big events.Verified so must be true
Edit; they're an aggregator? feck sake, still trust them though.
It's funny the most exciting thing that came to my head about Apple buying us was that they'd fix our website
What is said about Apple is applicable to all streaming services. Amazon, Disney, Netflix and co.
Will anyone of those buy this club? It’s of course unlikely. The other bigger clubs sold have not been bought by then. Nor have been rumored to be interested. Nobody would have mentioned them if it weren’t for the report from a dubious source.
But I wouldn’t completely rule them out. But they are of course not favorites. Not sure if they deserve a 1% shot, less or more. But…
I doubt anyone does or did. Apple tend not to buy non tech companies. United would be a bizarre acquisition.
Yeah I know them, but upcoming products and acquisition of a sport club are different kinds of news. In the same vein I don't expect any of the transfer expert journalists to be on the pulse in this regard
I million euros each should do itSo how many members does the caf have? How much have each us need to give to buy the club?
I just hope everything goes through to a good owner before the summer window. Time to invest properly. Unleash EtH.
I will find it very hard to continue supporting the club if it’s owned by Saudis, honestly. I know this has been debated a million times but that would be a disgusting outcome and I’d prefer to keep the Glazers.
I would ignore rumours on this one. They''re about as credible as Ronaldo playing for a Champion's League club. Stuff gets put bout by the sellers and journalists with very little basis. We will find out when we find out basically.
