That's fair and the Qatar-based news looks solid (although that guy being called Qatari confused the hell out of me).
No, the main change is larger exposure with Bein, the end of a bad period between 2009-2012 and more interest from foreign investors.

it doesn't matter, who is to say two typically lower in the table teams wouldn't meet in Europa? from a legal perspective you can either own 2 clubs that compete in the same competitions or you cant,
doubt they'll "dump" PSG, but yeah, the pull of the prem is something else. I fully ignored the CL games yesterday to watch Arsenal v City.
If Tom McDermott told me it was Friday tomorrow, I wouldn't believe him.
Yeah I agree, if they weren't very confident or know it's practically done they'd come out of this looking like idiots
When I say dump, it may even be they are still owned by them but I can see the focus and capital expenditure reducing dramatically. It’s like going all out with decor in your 5 star restaurant with the best chefs when there’s no one in the area who’s interested in dining there.
Simon Stone is the British and Qatari person for that.
With their massive ego, dont think they would ever get in that position. Surely they have some kind of deal in place for it to leak a day before the deadline
You'd think so.
That's surely not an issue here? We don't even really need the money.If I was to be very negative, I would worry about the qatari buyer being the same person that bought Malaga years ago. IIRC it was a member of the royal family.
Watch the game tonight and worry about it over the summer?
Yeah they got bored fast and pulled out, but La Liga doesn't really make it possible for that kind of investment and they weren't really into the long game it seemed.If I was to be very negative, I would worry about the qatari buyer being the same person that bought Malaga years ago. IIRC it was a member of the royal family.
The issue wasn't a lack of money but a lack of seriouness when it came to management.
Then they pulled the plug, if that happened to us then we just get bought by some other rich person. It's also very much in Qatar's interest to make a good job out of it because it will tarnish their reputation much more than Malaga would.
No thanks. Let the Glazers Buy Liverpool
Sure ! But the comment was about the city. The league is sh*t.
Yes
But that kind of nonsense can be costly for a club like United. In fact that's my worry with all possible future owners, competency and serioussness are the most important qualities. In my opinion even more than a full wallet.
If only. It's more likely that they could be just as incompetent as our current owners, and expectations would be raised because of the whole oil money angle. Every time we drop points the entire world would celebrate.
Don’t hate the game. Embrace it.

Have a celebratory wank that the glazers will be gone?
