In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's emphatic 4-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford and celebrate Manchester United being back in the Champions League. They also discuss United Women, takeover latest and transfer rumours before previewing the FA Cup Final vs. Manchester City.

Good advice! Or in my case, look after the fiver and the tenner will look after itsslf
I think you're getting confused mate.
I'm saying Qatar ARE behind the bid, not just one Qatari guy who isn't anywhere near wealthy enough to chuck 6bn at the Glazers then another 2-3bn in infrastructure whilst he's at it.
Going off everything we know about him he's incredibly rich compared to you n I but he doesn't have a spare 8-10bn to buy a football club and build a new stadium.
This is undoubtedly a bid by the state / Royals dressed up as something else. Nobody else in that country has that kind of wealth to spend on a vanity project.
What I hate is how he starts off every interview with "from what I am hearing..."Always makes sure he covers every angle, so he can say he was right

Feckin hell, it could be from jassim's neighbour's cousin's barber!
Never said dumb or stupid, just not as smart as Malcom. Btw, malcom fecked us but got himself or his estate a hell of a deal
You cant compare the two. I'd list the million reasons, but you're on a Man United forum so I shouldnt need to.
Can never substantiate anything he says, and just comes across clueless.
Oh man, you still fart about with folding money?! In my case, Look after the debit card, and you’ll never have any change to park the car!!
Let’s be completely honest here, how many of the people who complained about state ownership did it from a place of point scoring and using it as an attempt to discredit the achievements as opposed to genuine moral grounds? I bet that number is far, far higher.Fecking hell mate.
At least you admit it. Fair play.
Stolen from American investor Barren Wuffett.
@sglowrider thinking about it, it's funny. I'm not into any form of social media whatsoever, and I get my footie news from here.
However, back in the day, SSN was absolutely spot on and totally reputable. I spent so many hours of my youth glued to SSN and still vividly remember them breaking the Rooney to United story, and the yellow ticker announcing we signed Nani and Anderson, out of nowhere. I haven't watched it in years, as it's become a farce. No idea what went so wrong for them.

Honestly I have less of a problem with Malcolm than the cnuts in the PL who allowed it.
So true. I am guessing that Sky had to start competing against the shorter media cycles due to social media and broadcast/internet media.... Or so I have been hearing!
I have fond memories of them from my youth. But now, they're like a fecking parody.
These guys just post what ever shite comes into their heads.
No idea why anyone believes a word they say.
Bit of an anti climax this so far. It’s turning into the Frenkie thread all over again!
Probably for their social media engagement, it seems like that’s the second most important thing to many, after breathing.
He’s a mandroid who starts every.staccato.sentence.with. “…..Look….”
Hes at an age now he wants to leave a legacy. That's all their is too it
Yeap. Used to be gospel. Now its as credible as social media.
At least its not crypto!!Oh man, you still fart about with folding money?! In my case, Look after the debit card, and you’ll never have any change to park the car!!
Sadly for some in the younger generation, it is more important than breathing.

No its not about Antman.... so for those who don't know what we are on about...Don’t be such a goody two shoes
Holy flashback!
Didnt it come out around the same time as one of the best, most relatable chart songs ever?
Ah to be young again, when there was music on MTV, reliable sports news on Sky, and social media was uploading a picture of your dinner onto MySpace!
Yeah we seen a lot of that whenever criticisms were directed at Qatar during the World Cup. I always thought if we ever got bought by Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc. that many United fans would hop onboard the sportswashing train. I just never imagined so many would get on at the first stop.

Wild & crazy times!!!As someone wise once said, youth is wasted on the young!
No idea mate but I'm sure there were no doubt many. Sadly probably more than were genuine in their criticism.
I’ve been out tonight and not been able to keep up and I also can’t be arsed reading 10 pages.
Have we had any news since Jim’s bid went in?

Nope!
Any new texts from Kaveh’s phone that he’s dramatically announced as breaking news lately?
Nope. He's covered all bases though. Such a blagger.
Wot, Adam Ant is involved now?
I think it's off by 10 or 20 times, probably even more. It's embarrassing for Forbes to come out with such a ridiculously low estimate, only need a brief bit of research to realise how many times more they might be worth
Without any corruption the average fund manager takes 2% of the fund value per year PLUS 20% of profit - I'll leave you to do the maths on a £200bn fund that he managed for many years
Then he takes those billions and gives them to his sons to set up a family office to invest in things like this:
https://www.oerlive.com/qatar/former-qatari-pm-cashes-in-with-333-million-london-hotel-sales/
And these
https://www.manchesterworld.uk/spor...-mansions-to-yachts-and-picasso-works-4056410
Again I'll leave you to do the maths of how the family office fund might have grown in the decade since HBJ went private
Suffice to say they can very easily afford it and that's before even mentioning several financial institutions where they are either major shareholders or sit on the board (Deutsche Bank, QIB, etc) so they will have backing from whoever they need AND obviously will have a whole raft of wealthy friends & family if they want to put together a consortium
I know you have a huge antiQatar agenda but to suggest that a family of this level of global wealth can't afford to buy our club is simply laughable
That would be £4billion. Still not enough to buy United. And that’s before we even get to the bit that it’s not him but one of his 15 kids allegedly attempt to buy United. This entire thing stinks to high heaven.
I think your calculator is broken - try again.
That's 2% + 20 % PER YEAR
We are looking at £20bn and that's even conservative because he went private in 2013 and has been investing that money making it grow ever since
I hope he doesn't have to spend the same amount for each kid, they'll own most of the PL
He actually mentioned 'sons' plural in the one interview he's done referencing Man United so although Sheikh Jassim is the leader, I think others are involved
Fans revolts and protests have had feck all to go with them selling and never has. The delusion is ridiculous. They're selling a their business model cannot sustain required investment on the field AND necessary stadium/structural investment.
Sorry but I know the retrospective of this will be written by those pretending they were scared off by green and gold scarfs and slogans on bedsheets but it genuinely isn't the case..
The whole campaign against them had been woeful for 15 years for fans groups to be allowed to claim victory because of a sale due to economic circumstances entirely coincidental to a few mean songs. But you know the "we forced the Glazers out" crowing will be loud. Reality is that aside from one postponement of a match linked to a wider football protest not about our specific ownership but the announcement of the Super League, the Glazers have successfully ignored everything. Fans have been let down by representatives and it'll stick the the craw to see the inevitable claims of victory from the same people who have been self-serving streaks of piss for fifteen years, achieving as much as someone who may well not have bothered.
Really the post-Glazer inquest should look at why fans groups have been so demonstrably shit whilst simultaneously thinking they're revolutionary heroes
