If you're going to stop supporting Utd because of the owners.

What about all the other corporations that are part or entirely owned by such regimes?

And Trump is the president of the USA do you think that clown makes every decision ?


And as a Spurs fan you wouldn't want what City have ? I couldn't give 2 flying f..ks as long as the club is owned by people who are in it to make United a power house again
Some things are more important than football, I wouldn't want a Prince or state owning Tottenham no.

if this club whores out to such a repressive regime
This is an interesting point. What power does the club have in this? If the Glazers decide to sell, and the Saudi's decide to buy, assuming FA or government doesn't stop it, how is United 'whoring themselves out'?

I don't want the club owned by them. But I'm not sure I will blame the club itself if it happens.

What the absolute feck are you talking about Trump for? This conversation is about bin Salman, the crown price and head of state of Saudi Arabia purchasing Manchester United. United are not owned by Trump, so there's no need to bring him up.
I'm talking about him because not one single person makes every decision in a country . Ok Saudi may not be perfect but either is the UK or USA or lots of other countries. If we had owners the way City have then I'd be delighted because they have done the complete opposite of what them Parasites have done at United

Pointless. Those countries don't own United. As I've said already I wouldn't want them owning United either. Do you have an actual point?

Difference between not being perfect and the House of Saud.

What do our resident Blades, City and PSG supporters think about being state owned by sheikhs? The latter 2 seem to be PR tools, which would be my major objection to such state ownership of the club.

There does seem to be an issue with people recognising that the Glazers are not the government of the USA.

I genuinely think I’m going crazy here with the amount of people trying to say that. It’s so bizarre.
