Saw all the new pages thinking there might be some news I missed but nope more of the same nonsense. It's very impressive.
Club Sale | It’s done!

Again, support who you want. However when you say that people leaving their lifelong club who they love because of morally reprehensible owners are “pissing away” their support - that’s why people find you antagonistic.
Well OK I guess I have, but these things don't impact which team I support. If I see another side doing great charity work, I'd think that's nice, but I wouldn't suddenly start supporting them
So this evening’s proceeding’s was basically @Wumminator trying to be cute with a play on one of the definition’s of moral and then proceeded to dig a hole so deep he needs to be winched out. Nothing to see here.
If I've ever called city cheaters it's in relation to their breaking of ffp rules. I've never commented on their ownership. So wind your neck in a bit, eh? Before throwing accusations around
Is that genuinely all you took from my posts? From the thread I linked on the chairman of MUST saying the same things? Me “digging a hole”?
If everyone gets a pass here I think it has to be conditional upon not openly looking down on those who chose to walk away.
How foolish of you to expect anything useful in this thread. You’ll probably find more substantial information on the takeover by opening your kitchen bin.
I like him as a poster but I found out he financially benefitted from the City takeover through gentrification months ago so all this moral talk is laughable in my eyes.
All this talk and there’s only one poster who had money placed in his pocket through oil money and it’s not the posters replying to jabs about morals!
I regret clicking on "Show ignored content"
Crazy to think that this story broke in November and we are still waiting for firm news as to who our owners will even be, let alone for all the paperwork to be completed.
Yeah my bad for accusing you of actually saying something negative about city. Getting you to post the c-word seemed difficult enough, but you were probably backed into a corner.
I don’t see how either of those two things would occur. We don’t need to cheat FFP. We just need to spend better and invest in our infrastructure. Our transfer spend has largely been sufficient under the Glazers even if spent poorly. If Sheikh Jassim came in we’d likely still be self sufficient on the Sporting side of things.
What pain would be being caused? Qatar had a massive construction boom for the World Cup. Too many migrant workers died but there isn’t another Qatar World Cup coming along.
Even on social issues; Qatar is a country of 330k people. How much does is it really matter what goes on there? Utd losing causes more people pain on a weekly basis!
Can we stop talking about who has the moral high ground here. Any feckin updates ?? What’s twatter saying? Give us tonight’s gossip.
Morals aren’t relevant when you have a beneficial gain from it. It’s only important when you want to poke other peoples’ stance.
No, not a fully leveraged buyout
It's not particularly crazy. It's been the most likely timeframe for sport franchises over the past years.
It doesn’t apply to the take over bids. In fact there’s even doubt whether it would have applied to the Glazers leveraged buyout. In summary, it’s looking pretty pointless.
When you support a club it’s normally as a child to begin with
I’d not of had a clue when I started to support Man Utd om those issues.
By the time you’re old enough to fully grasp them you’re more than likely too far down the rabbit hole
atleast that’s my position, I love the club and couldn’t possibly support anyone else at this point
Yes, but you're confounding the thing you're actually talking about here (a tie to United that has nothing to do with success on the pitch) with something else (morals).
Look, you can argue that being opposed to Qatar is a matter of morals - I would agree. But "morals" in that context has very little to do with Manchester United as such.
Ah, didn't realise. I guess it just feels like it has dragged on forever.
fecking hell.
after seeing many influential United fans talking about this very issue today I try and have an actual discussion in this thread but because it makes people uncomfortable we get this nonsense and “less morals more gossip” please.
So if I levered 99.99% it’s allowed?
Liverpool fans and players stayed loyal to suarez after his racism, just because it was loyalty doesn't make it morality. Support for a club is usually hardwired from youth, people don't hate Liverpool because of morality issues, they hate them because they're a rival club. People across the morality spectrum support clubs, its hardly as if all united fans share the same morality, or all Liverpool fans share the same morality
No it doesn't mean that. Just means that glazers also voted for the proposal, ironically, given how they acquired the club.
Twitter says it’s Qatar soon
2.5m traded today. Seems to be more interest than usual these last few days.
Fixed that for you.
This
That.
Gossip from NickSpeed10 is that trading will be halted tomorrow and Raine will make an announcement that Jassim has won it.

To be fair Spoons those purchases don't materialize out of thin air. For every share acquired, someone was willing to sell at that price. Swings and roundabouts etc.
true though. Keep popping in to see if there is any updates and find a million posts about morals.Anything other than Qatar would be a surprise
The fact the share prices hasn’t fallen significantly like all the previous spikes we’ve seen is very interesting…
Feels like something is coming soon.
Those coming in here wanting updates rather than endless debate may wish to know we have a lovely tweets only thread for them here.

Forbes says earnings report is due this week. If there's no announcement by then, i think price will fall.
