Good find. Got to be happening. You don't register a company with a mergers and acquisition specialist without intent.

It’s a bit strange. I know what sports washing is and why they do it. But for me personally, my view hasn’t changed of Qatar/Saudi/Abu Dhabi from before they bought PSG/Newcastle/City. Honestly, the only time I hear mention of it is negatively when fans are having digs at each other.
The times are saying INEOS are favourites, Keegan makes no comment and the BBC strongly hinting Qatar in their podcast. Reuters say Qatar. It’s like nobody has a fecking clue.
Where does it say that, current positions
| Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company Q.P.S.C. (Consumer Goods Conglomerates) | Chief Executive Officer | - |
| Qatar Oman Investment Company Q.S.C. (Investment Management & Fund Operators) | Director | 2012 |
| Qatar Aluminium Extrusion Co. | Chairman | - |
| Sharq Insurance LLC | Independent Director | - |
| Qatar Metals Coating Co. | Director | - |
Twice in one week the muppets have convinced themselves that Qatar have it in the bag over a load of fluff. It's impressive, really.
I’m glad you clicked the link.
Would you? Would you even allow it if you are Glazers? What if deal goes off in last minute? And club just spent 300 mil. Who will pay for that?Surely Jasim can make a deal with the glazers to fund transfers In the meantime or something
No surprise to see British media twerking for broke Jim.
I think i've posted in this thread about 6 times in a year.
Or Times have contacts with politically friendly, British billionaires, and Reuters have contacts within US finance, and specifically those/those adjacent to those handling the actual deal.
Now reports are saying the SJ group not knowing anything about exclusivity negotiations and SJR as the front runner.
I have officially lost interest with this up and down news.

This is the new payola, right? Journalists and influencers being paid to plug certain bids.

Edit: Old news, apologies...will leave here just in case some others missed it. Probably arse anyway as Qatar seems inevitable

i'm suprised he can feed and clothe himself with his feeble 12 billion
My feeling is that keegan and the times journalists have been commenting basically non stop since February, reuters, a more trusted source, have posted one article, I'd put more faith in them
Ah man thats terrible of Qatar, we should go for Ineos instead. At least they treat their workers well…

Wouldn’t call Reuters fluff now.
What’s clear as day is Keegan and Times sharing the same source and with that one source they either know a story or they don’t. It’s not as if they can ask around and verify.
When the story breaks it won’t be Keegan, Times or Stone breaking it.Keegan didn’t even put his name to the story of Jim still being favourite
The kind of guy who’ll Klarna his weekly shop probably.
So, like i asked, where does it say he works for QIA.
“Fluff”
He doesn’t work for QIA like you claimed.
Tbh I'm there already, I was against the Qatari buyout as it kills the spirit of compeittive football, but City winning the CL and Newcastle qualifying for the CL have changed my mind. The floodgates have opened and since regulation to curtail it isn't forthcoming, if you can't beat em, join em
If anything more oil clubs doing well may lead to some actual useful regulation against the dodgy sponsorships etc to even the field for the other clubs
Again; why would any side allow that during a sale process?
Reuters running an exclusive with that headline was seemingly big in fairness. Until you actually read the story and discovered it was saying feck all…
Do you only follow Utd to win things?
Confirmation bias runs pretty strong among Qatar supporters.
Surely the times are off the mark on this one ?

If this still isn't resolved by first game of season every game needs to be abandoned.
I have no idea, but.....yes I think so
The biggest and most recognisable companies and brands are involved in the Middle East. I've not seen a murmur from people calling them out. The lyrics from the Abba song goes ring so true.
Morality is so lost these days. Respect to those small band of brothers and sisters still around to argue for the downtrodden.

Who’s the journalist behind the times article?
tbf this I agree with. If there’s any positive sliver for football as a whole, it’s that at least people might actually start to take the issue seriously now, rather than pretend it’s all kinda fine because there’s an easily sellable romance to financially doping underdog teams.
The argument the likes of City have been desperate to sell that they’re only as bad as the old money clubs were was always more like billionaire media barons convincing everyone the real elites were actors in nice posh houses in Islington… and annoyingly it partially stuck because a lot of people just really hated us/Liverpool winning lots throughout their childhood.
Do you watch sport for the moral victory?
They’ll come up with arguments about how they’re not the same thing. It’s all just nonsense.
