Its cute they think locals are against it. Folk on r/reddevils were also spouting the same delusion. Glad to see its rightfully being crapped on as it was a rubbish assertion to begin with. Brexit Jim has himself to blame. The fool didnt say nowt about what he planned on doing to the surrounding area etc as its hard to be held accountable for something you havent said.

He didn’t call it, he helped facilitate it.
Turned to shit but he did what he did.
I don’t understand the hostility, it’s not as if he makes these wild claims every week.
But let’s believe Mike Keegan
Jim must not be that interested he hasn’t raised his bid 
And youl suck it up and take it.
1 thing is for sure, he knows a damn sight more than ANYBODY on here.
Do you care if they do?
So you're saying they'll become like the pro Qatari fans who complain endlessly about every aspect of United, particularly in the matchday threads which serve as a reminder that things can always get worse, whenever anyone complains about this thread?
Rio doesn’t even sound 100% certain himself on it to be honest but fair play he sounds like a fan.
Its behind the trophy wins (just) but yeah I personally lost my shit when he rejoined.
Nah he knows people. This is your last chance to get in on the stock before it goes to the moon.
Don't get left behind like bitcoin again.
If Rio ends up being wrong, this combined with his recent fellating of 115 FC will have him in the doghouse with a lot of fans. 
As someone who watches his Youtube channel regularly with a mixture of enjoyment and cringe, my guess would be he has zero inside knowledge on this. It's more likely someone at his channel just told Rio about the rumours suggesting Qatar and he went with that.
Sorry, are you saying that pro Qatari fans are the only ones who've complained about our performances this season?
Hmm ok then
I think he's talking out his arse. Highly highly doubt that anybody privy to the deal would A) give him any insider knowledge and B) let him put that video up exclusively ahead of any journalists with pedigree.
He's most likely seen the dodgy tweets from earlier in the week and gotten excited.

That's not difficult given that no one on here actually knows anything, it's all conjecture 1600+ pages of it!
It was pretty widely reported early on that they wanted him to be part of the bid and then later some reports that they want him to be part of the club in the event they take over.
I’m sure even on vibe with five during and after the World Cup they were joking about how Rio was close with the higher ups in Qatar.
For him to be this bullish it must have come directly from the buyers.

Rio is a big publicity merchant. He'd be fecking delighted if he was the one to break the news. You sense he wouldnt do this if he wasnt completely certain.
Muppet Pexbo is back!?
Might have to slash your odds boyo
Big day today
I’m sure it’s all been said: Rio is a prat, but he does know people right inside the club.
Mad thing to come out with, mind.

Markets aren't muppets. They're largely investors and serious money people not likely to be swayed by dodgy Tweets or even tabloid newspapers citing dodgy Tweets
The assumptions market movements are attributable to the above never seemed likely to me.

Rio is an ambassador for Qatar tourism.
Jassim has also been reported to want to involve ex players with the club in some capacity.
He would definitely be in the know.

This isn't like transfers though, a lot of journalists usual sources won't be able to help here, it's not as if they get their information by magic, they get them from sources, and it's not impossible that rio knows someone high up in the club that doesn't talk to other journos

Put your helmets on and buckle in boys. The G force is going to be insane.

If people are so opposed to the owners, a club was set up a long time ago by other United fans, so they may wish to join them.
They're free to support whoever and post whatever, I don't control other actions or choices on the Caf. I might not understand why anyone would wish to hang round like an unwelcome ex with an obsession that they can't move on from, but I'm not in that frame of mind. Haven't liked the owners for nearly 20 years, so meh, they are not the club, they are custodians until the next group takes over.
His source better not be based in Cardiff...
Share price falling, it's off.
Pexbo is one of those investors though.
No one in the comments of the Gordon McQueen post are asking United to “Announce Jim Ratcliffe” … just FYI
I want to see people practise what they preach. If we start winning things especially. Stand by your Morals guys!
Qatar reign will signal the end to years of swimming in mediocrity. No more Richard Arnold and John Murtough. No more long-drawn-out transfer saga's haggling for weeks on end over a few million, no more penny-pinching and hoarding players. No more January band aid 30 plus loanee strikers. No more makeshift midfields of mcfreds. No more losing out to the best players and no more top 4 trophy lowering standards. Ruthless aggression will return to the club where only the highest standards will be acceptable from the management, backroom staff down to the players
Could someone explain? I read earlier that Jassim had asked Al-Khelaifi (PSG) for advice about buying United. But if Jassim buys United, wouldn´t that make Jassim and Al-Khelaifi rivals (for CL, players and so on)? Or would they work together in the name of "Qatari interests"?
Also, is the Qatari state behind QSI? Read there are a lot of questions whether Jassims bid is a state bid or not.

If a kid in Cardiff with 250 followers and a fake tweet can cause a spike in shares (and get retweeted by the editor of a Qatari newspaper), then why can't Rio!
We've all complained at times, how could we not. But there's a difference between complaining when it's 7-0 for example or when it's 46 seconds into a game and a balls been kicked out of play...
The latter, from what I have seen tend to fall into the Qatar camp.
I too would’ve liked that, for all the fans saying City’s success means less
Good rebuttal. Markets are highly volatile places where misinformation can cause a reaction. Maybe not always, but you can't rule it out.
Heck, Redcafe itself once started a transfer rumour that got picked up by a paper. We could do it again if you want a social experiment to prove your theory?
Well I haven't noticed that and given the speed matchday threads tend to move, I feel it would be difficult to cross check whether anyone posting something negative had a history of being pro Qatar or anti Qatar
I’m inclined to believe him. Even with an NDA people talk all the time. Even I have spilled on transactions to people close to me, when I believe they won’t get me in trouble.
Complete horse shit. Confirmation bias at its finest.
