My thoughts are it's the daily star and it's time for bed. We can't shift Darmian to a club that wants to buy him, good luck getting rid of the Glazers.

We would become everything we’ve hated on. Though, we aren’t exactly the club we used to be now anyway.

(Oil) Money is taking over everything now so we should probably get used to the idea.

I don't believe this story for a second. However, I would not be surprised if sometime in the future some oil rich family give the Glazers an offer they can't refuse.

Its inevitable that we'll be taken over by the mega rich in the future. Sadly the people who can afford to pay over a billion pound for the biggest sports franchise in the world generally arent the type of people you want running your business.

Apart from the Bayern Munich model (run by club legends, part owned by fans, stealing all the talent from other German clubs etc.) what is the ideal scenario, when it comes to ownership of the club? Surely the next best thing is to have owners who want to buy success and will spend whatever it takes?

The Daily Star is on the banned list when it comes to posting rumours. And on top of that no credible source has picked up on this. I'll say no more

Yes, that is the next best thing (benevolent dictator). The Saudis are a long way from that. With utter cnuts like them in charge, it would just become very hard to care anymore.

If you were worth £850 billion, why would you care about winning the Premier League? I'd just buy by own football league and I'd play for the league champions every year.

The ‘source’ is Twitter. We get stories like this every year and nothing happens, I doubt this is any different.

Hmmm...
What would an amazon logo look like on our shirts? I might give Jeff a call. He's rich enough and all our matches could be shown on amazon prime and all our merch sold with free one day delivery. :wenger::p

Seems it's based on us forming a partnership with them last year and nothing more.

Can see it coming in eventually as it makes sense that the Saudis would want to get involved with football and with a partnership already in place between us, it would make sense for it to be us. The only thing that might make them go elsewhere is that City are already owned by the Abu Dhabi's and they could have a much easier time in Germany, Italy or Spain.

People realize not every rich Saudi is part of the Saudi ruling regime right? Not saying I've looked into this but there are many rich Saudis who are actually critical of the ruling Saudi regime.

EDIT: I'd still dislike it but just saying the "I'll stop supporting United" stuff makes no sense. This is modern football. We are all a bunch of pawns making billionaires richer.

They would probably be better than the Glazers as I doubt they would be taking money out of the club.

Some of you guys are strange - nothing would stop me supporting Utd ❤

Why hasn't this been locked yet? Anyone making a thread off the back of a Daily Star article should be banned.
