Complete and utter nonsense. First and foremost, stop with your insults. I most probably have more braincells and neuron connections than you do. So shove that up your butthole.
Now be very clear who is the emir of Qatar now? How does he relate to Jassim exactly?
Now do you get to decide what those people do with their money? It is up to them whether to buy United or invest in Qatar. They are trying to buy one of the most decorated clubs in the world, which, with the right investment, could increase in its value. All other premier league clubs may want whatever they want, but they need to be consistent. They did nothing when Chelsea and City were doped to their gills. I am sure Jassim, if he wins, will do it via 9-2 foundation which is a group of private businessmen and he will have no problem to pass the due diligence procedures.
So, basically, you have zero proof of this being a state backed bid, zilch. You are only posting your assumptions having sweet fook all of real knowledge about Qatar.
@ROFLUTION no idea where you get this from, complete lies of course
Sheikh Jassim is not the brother of the Emir, they are not closely related at all - distant cousins perhaps
Sorry, it seems I've been misinformed by reading
this source, but it was referring to the other Jassim Al Thani of Qatar which the source I read also had misunderstood. I realize now that this is not the brother, but he's a distant cousin.
Jassim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is the older brother to Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar and is the third son of Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani the former Emir. Jassim was the heir apparent to his father, being the first child of his second wife, but abdicated his position as Crown Prince in 2003 in favour of his younger brother.
Sorry to
@Water Melon too but my points overall still stands: Qatar is an extremely non-transparent country where you only get to use this big amount of money if it doesn't go against the family with what is "OK" for the state to use money for. Let's be real, Sheikh Jassim would never be accepted to use 7-8 billions on stupid stuff.
To continue the debate with
@Water Melon - You just think that because you can't prove he's a front for the state of Qatar, then it's a great argument in favor of Qatar-ownership? Qatar is run within a royal family with no transparency. Neither were there any transparency around the World Cup with Qatar. Migrant workers slaving to death to host some football games - is this what football is worth? Can we just say that Sheikh Jassim has nothing to do with this at all and that his money comes from a different pot? (because they're inherited by his father?)
Is this take over necessary for Manchester United? We already sit as one of the biggest clubs with the biggest history, they're no need to get in bed with slimy people like this. The World Cup was known for going to Qatar because of
corruption. This is the country who might run United now, and yet with all their history of
bribing EU-officials and bribing their way to getting a World Cup, we should just believe that this is not a state-backed/state approved bid? Do people just believe that these guys will run United in a clean way when corruption is in the veins of the history of the country? It could just as well end up in 115 charges for cheating like City too. Why would you teint a great club like United like that? Because of promises of a new stadium and Mbappe? Not for me, Jeff.
And you will continue to bang on about how you can't prove this is a state-backed bid, although he still as a cousin has inherited all his money from statemoney from his father. It's the easiest argument in the World and I agree - you can't officially because Qatar is such a non transparent country. But everyone with eyes can see there's no transparency with Qatar as a state and that this is a state-backed bid due to the size of money and close connections between the people who run Qatar.
