What about Malaga? The other ‘other’ team with Qatar connections

Gaaah! Mental images! Don’t do that!! Awful horrendous mental images!!
When you see the last couple of away performances,makes me want to spend a fortune on the squad and so be it if the money is coming from Qatari state.
Yeah the thoughts of how he could ruthlessly cut the deadwood out might scare this rabble into performing better
Is the ownership uncertainty affecting our players?
If ratcliffe ends up buying us, I'm sure we'll be seeing more and more signings like Wout instead of proper players because we will be skint paying off loans.
Yeah that is a very valid concern
I imagine it's affecting everyone at the club.
They have caused this slide with all the uncertainty
Loser mentality comes from the top. If SJR is successful in his bid it will carry on. The leeches taking their time on selling is massively damaging to the whole atmosphere at the club
T'day.
Makes you wonder why he even wants to buy the club.
Yeah this season is starting to unravel and if we aren't careful this off field saga will totally derail our top 4 hopes before Chelsea game
This. It's hard to believe, but there was that period of a few years (I think 2014-2018 or thereabouts) when we had a massive financial advantage over the rest of the league and could even outspend City. And that wanker squandered it completely and left us in this situation.
I don’t think INEOS will have a problem financing the first team. It’s the stuff beyond that which is the ambiguity, namely stadium and training ground. Old Trafford needs a face lift and Carrington is far behind other places as a training ground. They may have been the shit in 2003 but it’s 2023.
Would affect most work places if there was an drawn out process and uncertainty on who is to become your new owner.
I doubt it. It’s just mental and physical fatigue. They have played a butt tonne of games this season, and a World Cup most of them and they are shot. That’s on the back of Covid season running over, euros the summer after and very little rest in between.
Exactly that, SJR would also be ruthless his comments about Fred have aged well but Qatar wow, they would list the
squad in the following way ;
Must Be Released or Sold instantly (14);
D De Gea, H Maguire, Fred, E Bailey, D Henderson, A Teles, B Williams , E Bailey, Weghorst, A Martial, A Elanga, M Sabitzer , P Jones, DVB
Must be Sold or Released within 6-12 months (7) ; V Lindelof, AWB, S Mctominay, M Greenwood (Don’t be surprised if he ends up PSG if they buy the club on loan or sold) E Laird, T Malacia (he’ll be upgraded in January window), J Sancho or Antony one will go who ever can’t produce the stats that the new DOF will demand and the manager will be massively reigned in on transfers, he will be told to coach the players the club buys and if he can’t he’ll be dismissed.
Players who they will keep but will be told they are part of a 26/27 man squad and not guaranteed to start (15) ;
T Heaton(Back up keeper/HG), M Kovar, D Dalot, L Shaw, R Varane, L Martinez, Casemeiro, Bruno, Ericsen, Rashford(HG), Sancho or Antony, A Dialo, Garnaucho (HG), K Maino (HG), A Fernandez(HG), H Mejbri (HG)
Which means they will want a significant overhaul of probably 11/12 players from a list of 25/30 over two/three windows ;
GK - Mike Maignan, D Raya,
RB - J Frimpong, D DumFries, Hakimi,
LB - A Davies,
DM - D Rice, Caciedo, E Camavinga ,
CM - Enzo Le Fey, FDJ,
AM - M Kudas, J Maddison, M Mount, Neymar
CF- H Kane, V Osimhen, G Ramos, K Muani,
Second striker - R Hojlund, E Ferguson
Right striker - O Dembele, A Fati, L Sane
Left Striker - R Leao, S Maine,
I seriously think they have a list already which is probably even bigger than this and they want to do 6 or 7 transfers in the summer and 5 or 6 in the winter, but the Glazers are holding up everything.
they've already given up because they don't know their future at the club and likewise i think even the manager has half given up.
the season went south as soon as the glazers announced their intention to sell.
Oh goody, I like a game of FM!
It’s not football manager when you got a state to back you, they won’t tolerate half what the Glazers have or do you disagree ?
That would be silly.
And the way PSG is run is not silly ?
Why would that be silly? Reading on here tonight you’d believe that the manager was perfect but he needs 5-10 new signings as the ones he has are shit.
I completely disagree. Whoever buys the club we won’t see more than 3/4 players in.
Nor should we - we don’t need to be unsettling the squad the way Chelsea have. Building gradually is the best way.
Maybe a few more outs, if we can find buyers. It’s not going to be easy.
fantasy football manager right there. Would be amazing if this happened but it’s wishful thinking
I’d completely disregard everything you read here tonight. People have totally lost their heads after that game.
It is.
It's too fast to provide decent results and I imagine it would see us fecked on FFP.
Seems the inmates have took over the asylum in this thread.
We've got people saying SJR will only be able to target free transfers, with others saying it's a valid concern
Then I scroll down and we've got somebody else predicting the team Jassim will buy, and it features no existing players and is worth probably close to £2b

With two teams PSG and United , oppos Make that 3 Braga they will be moving players around like a merry go round !
Yeah I suspect you are smack on,admittedly it may not be those 3 players mentioned last week but get your point about having definite targets
It really isn’t with Qatar, they’ve already infiltrated Uefa and have cerefin talking about multi club ownership, will it happen who knows, we still don’t know whether the club is being sold but if they get their hands on united, fans think they can and will only spend £100m this summer is hysterical.
Worth remembering that Newcastle have mega rich owners but Howe talks about FFP
no for sure they will spend big but by the looks of things SJR is in the lead…
By the way anyone who still fancies SJR and INEOS are in for many, many more days like today.
I think it'll go well.
"This is fine"
Only if he is prepared to spend massively,basically go back on his statement
What statement?
