Qatar Bollocks (AKA Qatar consider MUFC takeover?)

[Q80]

Theres a text circulating in Kuwait right now that the Qatari governments official investment group are seriously considering taking over Manchester United Football Club.

Now whether this is true or bollocks I have no idea, I just got this text and so did my mates. I spoke to my mate in Qatar and he didnt deny it and says theres word going around about this being a possibility.

Anyone hear anything in the UK? Nothing on SSN thus far.

You thought this shit was worthy of starting a thread?

 

[Nate Dogg]

Nope nothing here in the UK, this maybe a silly question but are the Qataris rich enough to buy a club like United...

 

[Gambit]

There was a rumour today they were going to buy Newcastle today.

Good Lord, yes!

Gulf Times ? Qatar?s top-selling English daily newspaper - First Page

No idea if it's bollocks either. Would be great to see the back of Glazer.

 

[Gambit]

Beat me to it.

 

[Tibs]

They can have us for 750 million

 

[Nate Dogg]

Hopefully the Qatari sheikh is considerably richer than sheikh Mansoor of Abu Dhabi/Dubai lols

What, the whole place?

I reckon this will either be a story that will run for a while and turn out to be bullshit or is already complete bullshit!!!

Doesn't matter, if you free up the amount United have had to spend on debt we could easily compete with anyone. Don't know if I want this though if it's true. The Glazers for all their debt have run the club fantastically from a hands off point of view. Dueling Sheiks who might get pissed of for the odd bad result is very scary to me.

Yes he whole place. Part of their giving the new world cp stadium to poorer areas plan apparently.

I hope to God this is true, but there was a story in the Mail linking Qatar with buying one of Utd, Barca or Real - this story might have been picked up from the Mail and spread like wild fire in Qatar (hope I'm wrong though)

Text ? They have that in Kuwait

You can't buy Barca or Real Madrid.

Other people are interested, you on the other hand can piss off if you're not.

lols

Oh yeh theyre rich. They'll be spending loads for the world cup, so they definitely packin a punch.

Mate, anything but the Glazers.

Although their annual Panto was superb, well according to my daughters reaction anyway.

Maybe they were talking about Barcelona hockey club or Atletico Madrid!!

Yes, my little sister agrees ()

When i said "text" i meant camel courier.

Local talent.

According to the Daily Fail, apparently you can. That's why we should take this story with a pinch of salt if the story has been lifted from the Mail.

Not even close. He's not even in Roman's league.

Theres a text circulating right now that you're a gullible prick.

It does seem a bit 2+2=5. United went and trained in Doha last year and Fergie supported their bid therefore we are being purchased by Qatar.

 

[Alex99]

Does this mean we get to host the World Cup?

Daiy fail to Kuwait?

Bit of a stretch .. Doubt anyone here even heard of the mail.

What a great way to develop interest in Qatar without having to spend a penny.

Almost spilled my drink cuz of your funny post.

Easy boy.

Yeah, about 7 billion down on Roman.

EDIT: Although if Carlos Slim fancies a cheeky bid...

Yeah, cos they need that at the moment. I honestly can't think of any other way in which people might associate Qatar and football at the moment.

 

[Classy Cannon]

seriously considering taking over Manchester United Football Club. Now whether this is true or bollocks I have no idea

Why call the thread 'Qatar purchased MUFC?'

 

[Sir A1ex]

Nothing on

(That's it... I've got nothing on).

 

[Xander45]

I read an article not long ago about the Qataris being involved in the deal to pay of the PIK loans. Although that had no sources and seemed to be making itself up as it went.

You should have started another thread about this. There is about as much truth in that as the 'text' message that is currently going around Qatar

[Red Defence]

They might consider it a way to get more credibility in the world of football.

I do hope they haven't bought us though.
