Beckham did just sign MessiThe briefed plans from SJR did sound decent. Think he ear marked Paul Mitchell as a DoF capacity whilst SJ wanted ex players around the club.
Don't think soAppreciate that this may have been asked and answered before, but has the INEOS bid promised to clear the debt?
No.Appreciate that this may have been asked and answered before, but has the INEOS bid promised to clear the debt?
I think SJR will be a good match with us to be honest. I would not panic too much about Nice. Manchester United is huge and we can get the best people in the football world to work with us.The briefed plans from SJR did sound decent.

Whoever wins will be hated by most United fans within 2 or 3 years. At United it was ever thus.Whoever wins shouldn’t be given a heros or villains welcome. Let time decide if they are worthy custodians of Man Utd and deserve our praises or condemnation. But feck Ratcliffe and his debt laden, no commitment to anything, keeping the glazers in , bid.
Nope. They have promised not to put any new debt on to the club.Appreciate that this may have been asked and answered before, but has the INEOS bid promised to clear the debt?
Well, when City finally win it's 11th title in a row and bayern up the league, I'll still have the moral high ground.
Also, I have a clip of that Rooney assist-to RvP volley I'll be able to show my kids about the good times, so whatever.
My favourite moral high ground is the one with the weird hypothetical fantasy future where everything has already gone disastrously wrong but the only people who truly cared enough about Man Utd get to lord it over the people who were really responsible for the heroic Qatar bid being too arrogant/incompetent to even attempt a deal beyond their own convenience - evil other fans!!You'll also be able to come on the Caf and proudly post in the thread about winning the CL 20, 25, 30 years ago.
And as an added bonus, we can start this year with a 10-year anniversary, since we last won the league and keep it going.
The possibilities of becoming and bettering Arsenal are limitless.
there were rumours last week of insiders feeling Jassim and co weren't seriously interested.Qatar wants to own United so badly that they aren't willing to negotiate a deal that actually gets them the control of a club from owners who only care about who gives more money is hilarious. Even ignoring all else - it was literally a purely financial race, and this supposed sugar daddy state can't even afford to pay up? But yet are promising all this money on infrastructure and squad? feck off Empty promises to win fans over without needing to back it up, that's what that is.
Thanks. I always look forward to your posts in this thread - you're one of the few posters here who actually contributes to the discussion instead of endlessly whining about the same thing.My breakdown on twitter:

More or less confirms what we have been discussing the last days with the numbers adding up. Definitely room for misinformation or stuff being lost in translation -- but if the information from Le Equipe and Jacobs are correct, the latest offer from 9-2 just doesn't seem to be very competitive. I would have liked to see it pressure Ineos more.
Yes, it's not gone very well for them. They will probably want to forget the whole sorry affair asap - I doubt we'll ever hear anything from, or about, Jassim ever again...Qatar wants to own United so badly that they aren't willing to negotiate a deal that actually gets them the control of a club from owners who only care about who gives more money is hilarious.

It’s funny isn’t it.My favourite moral high ground is the one with the weird hypothetical fantasy future where everything has already gone disastrously wrong but the only people who truly cared enough about Man Utd get to lord it over the people who were truly responsible for the heroic Qatar bid being too arrogant/incompetent to even attempt a deal beyond their own convenience - evil other fans!!
Only one of his potential appointments which interestsThe briefed plans from SJR did sound decent. Think he ear marked Paul Mitchell as a DoF capacity whilst SJ wanted ex players around the club.
Everything doesn't need to go disastrously wrong for us not to win feck all of consequence in the next 10/15 years. It just needs to continue on the current trajectory.My favourite moral high ground is the one with the weird hypothetical fantasy future where everything has already gone disastrously wrong but the only people who truly cared enough about Man Utd get to lord it over the people who were truly responsible for the heroic Qatar bid being too arrogant/incompetent to even attempt a deal beyond their own convenience - evil other fans!!
I would feel exactly the same about not bothered who wins out of Ratcliffe or Jassim IF those two leeches weren't involvedIs this new Qatari bid just going to delay things even further now or can we expect some form of news soon as to who the preferred bidder is?
A month or two ago, I would have been intrigued with this new bid but now not really bothered if it succeeds or not as just want this never ending circus to end. Don’t really care if it’s Qatar or INEOS that wins, just as long as we get this thing over and down with.
Nobody really knows anything for certain, but the sense is that Ineos and Raine have at least got it on to the fairway at this point and are closing in on a deal. Qatar are making lots of noise and achieving very little.Is this new Qatari bid just going to delay things even further now or can we expect some form of news as to who the preferred bidder is?

Even if he isn't state backed, I'm sure he would have some influence to make thing happen or at least open potential dooe for the Glazers that would otherwise be more difficult. Even if he isn't state back I'm sure the state would probably be open to helping things out. It would also depend on what you mean by state backed. At the very minimum you'd imagine that the state support his bid and are happy to help out, even if the state is making a financial backing.Can he If it’s not state backed?
They need to try and get exclusivity which opens the opportunity to negotiate and reach that figure. Like I said earlier they can then talk about business opportunities in QatarLook, here's £6b. Take it and feck off. Hardly difficult for Qatar, assuming it's a state bid. They've been lowballing Ratcliffe, and it has been utterly bizarre from the perspective of a person stuck in this thread.
At worst, were actually close to the endgame now. Qatar will bow out on Friday and then with one bidder left, it should move faster.Is this new Qatari bid just going to delay things even further now or can we expect some form of news soon as to who the preferred bidder is?

“Qatar don’t want to pay above value”. Another angle. These are people who routinely pay ridiculous money for stuff. If Qatar really wanted to buy this club, this shi would have been wrapped up months ago.Look, here's £6b. Take it and feck off. Hardly difficult for Qatar, assuming it's a state bid. They've been lowballing Ratcliffe, and it has been utterly bizarre from the perspective of a person stuck in this thread.
That would do it. Qatar's 4th bid and this new 5th bid are a waste of time.Look, here's £6b. Take it and feck off. Hardly difficult for Qatar, assuming it's a state bid. They've been lowballing Ratcliffe, and it has been utterly bizarre from the perspective of a person stuck in this thread.
What the feck are you even on about??Look, here's £6b. Take it and feck off. Hardly difficult for Qatar, assuming it's a state bid. They've been lowballing Ratcliffe, and it has been utterly bizarre from the perspective of a person stuck in this thread.
I dont think the exclusivity stage is where you talk about the final offer.They need to try and get exclusivity which opens the opportunity to negotiate and reach that figure. Like I said talk about business opportunities in Qatar
Their £5bn bid includes paying off the debt.Plus the extra 1B for the stadium, 700m to clear the debt and then a further 1B in transfers etc? nobody is paying close to 9B mate it's completely unrealistic
Have you tried bidding more than the other guy, Jassim? No? Well there's your problem.Tweet

The way I see it, and I could be wrong of course, it seems that this financial offer is made in order not to lose face.Is this new Qatari bid just going to delay things even further now or can we expect some form of news as to who the preferred bidder is?

Sorry, I must have missed the part where we all got to vote on this?You're purposefully ignoring reality and trying to paint reasonable assumptions as unreasonable, just like the Brexit gurus did during that joke of a referendum..
But carry on with the half-arsed responses, I'm sure it helps you sleep at night.

Definitely helps doesn't it?Have you tried bidding more than the other guy, Jassim? No? Well there's your problem.
Hardly rocket science innit.Have you tried bidding more than the other guy, Jassim? No? Well there's your problem.
What the feck can they do if the Glazers want to stay on?Qatar wants to own United so badly that they aren't willing to negotiate a deal that actually gets them the control of a club from owners who only care about who gives more money is hilarious.
