I can't believe there are people who actually believe Ineos are buying us for 'greenwashing'. I think the effects of sportswashing are already on full display here. Ineos and Qatar are now seen as equivalent. Very nice.
More unbelievable people can’t see they both would want to use us as a form of sportswashing.

That’s not even controversial plenty of huge corporations do exactly the same, it’s more of an expected.

Conversely, a mystery man nobody knows anything about who has reportedly talked about flashing his wallet (but has made no statements to that effect) has knickers wet.
In all fairness what statement can he make? He's said what he wants to do, there's nothing more to be said until the club's sold. We're not even officially in preferred bidder status yet.

He hasn't actually said anything. It's all come through an intermediary.

So he's released a statement via his representitives, he didn't do it through a Ouija board. There's nothing remotely unusual about that.

I wouldn't argue with the Brexit Brigade. Anything related to the Qatar bid that lends it credibility is discarded (e.g. see this conversion you're having) and anything that would damage Jimmy Brexit's chances in the eyes of the fans (the way his Ineos team has failed at Nice and Lausanne) is apparently irrelevant.

Anyone reckon it might get ugly for the Glazers tomorrow at Wembley… particularly if Utd are soundly beaten?
In what way? People can't get to them and we have 17 years of evidence that abuse doesn't really bother them. To be honest, for 6 billion on the line, I wouldn't care either.

One way or another let’s all just hope and pray that once tomorrows final is out of the way we’ll get some form of announcement and hopefully by Monday or Tuesday it’ll all be clear so we can start moving on from this horrificly dragged out shambles of a takeover although we were naive to believe anything involving the parasitic cnuts would be smooth sailing.

I’m not claiming to be an ITK and take this with a pinch of salt but my mate who although doesn’t work for Raine Group directly but has some ties with them has told me to feck off

Monday, around noon to give US stock markets time to open, we will know our future.

Enjoy your weekend boys, whichever way this sale goes, next week is going to be wild.

The man has not made a public appearance of any kind nor did he show at OT when the club opened doors on a potential £6b deal he's forking out for, If you don't find that unusual, have at it.

Nice of you to make incorrect assumptions about people because they're playing devils advocate.

This thread. Christ.

Nothing incorrect about my assumption. If you're just arguing for arguing's sake then don't expect to be taken seriously.

As opposed to taking seriously your childish employing of "Brexiteer" to dismiss anyone who's not on the hope of the endless wallet train with you?

I love how some people on this thread are under the impression anything said will have any effect on the Glazer's decision and are no longer interested in discussion, but just flinging mud.

What part of claiming something is not true even though a public statement has been made is a discussion.

You're literally pitting your opinion against established facts and then crying why no one takes you seriously.

If you argued Qatar are using this guy as a front fair enough but to say they won't fulfill their promises because you just woke on the wrong side of the bed is just illogical.

Why would I argue that when that was not my point?

Jassim has not made a public appearance and spoken about United, has he? That's not my opinion, that's a fact. That's the point I made.

You seem to make an awful lot of assumptions and inferences when your own opinions are challenged.

Oh, what did I claim is not true?

A statement was made, you're again trying to rewrite history.

I reckon there is a Ratcliffe sighting at Wembley tomorrow.
No chance. The only reason Avram keeps going lately is because he wants to give the image he is attached to the club, in an attempt to get more money

If a deal was close to done, he wouldn’t bother going

Did he tell you to feck off in a british accent or an arabic one.

I don't get what Glazer's going to get out of going? He'll get dog's abuse no matter what the result.

If the Glazers wanted to sell to Brexit Jim, they would have already done so tbh.

Edit. With the FT news dropping I have been left with egg on my face. For it to come from FT imo is huge and indicates the ball being in Brexit Jims Court. I must say, the bastard is pretty smart and shrewd with all these manoeuvres.

He doesn’t care what the fans think. So long as he is safe, he’ll be happy.

He will just want to be seen in attendance. Makes their whole “we want to stay, so you’d better pay more to tempt me to leave” shit look more realistic
