Lol prayer mats with little devil icons on it. Probably wouldn't work.I hope they are there signing a deal for official prayer rugs or something silly.
feck it man, I hope we do. We can buy anyone.feck sake, really hope we don't become another sell out club.
Probably right... but even if it's to do with sponsorship, this is not the fecking right time to be doing business with the Saudis at all. (If there ever is...)Richard Arnold on the right, its to do with sponsorship I reckon.
We can buy anyone already. We can pay the same outrageous wages all the other clubs do. We just don't.feck it man, I hope we do. We can buy anyone.
Right... we can buy anyone but just this summer Mourinho was denied funds...We can buy anyone already. We can pay the same outrageous wages all the other clubs do. We just don't.
I don't think he was denied because we couldn't afford to spend a set amount though. We don't know the details for certain but the rumours suggest it's more about justifying the spending on certain players. That's a different thing even if it's a similar result.Right... we can buy anyone but just this summer Mourinho was denied funds...
Did he get out alive?
Because United don't need them, they just need sufficient access to their own resource and people who know how to run a club properly.I'll get a lot of stick for this comment, but if this were Liverpool, I'd be jumping for joy, despite having good owners already.
It's oil money, it's tainted, it comes at the cost of lives, etc... Well, so does pretty much every luxury item you own. Your clothes are made in sweatshops, your electronics are manufactured in a place where suicide nets are put up in place of improvements to basic living standards... Why the selective conscience on this? Or is it just the idea of having to listen to City fans lambast you for what you've given them stick over for the past decade?
You're already owned by foreigners anyway, so it's not like you're losing much there in terms of sticking to the core of who you are.
In all seriousness, selling out club to an evil dictatorship would spark the end for a great many United fans. Just as it would for a great many Liverpool fans in a similar position.I'll get a lot of stick for this comment, but if this were Liverpool, I'd be jumping for joy, despite having good owners already.

You say that now when you can only dream of the success it brings but state sponsored wins will ring hollow soon enough and the wider issues will be brought into focus.I'll get a lot of stick for this comment, but if this were Liverpool, I'd be jumping for joy, despite having good owners already.

This forum is not full of rational decision making.I'll get a lot of stick for this comment, but if this were Liverpool, I'd be jumping for joy, despite having good owners already.

So be it.Would you guys be happy if they bought Liverpool? Because let's face it, they're gonna buy someone. And if they bought Liverpool then expect them to overhaul our title count pretty soon and add afew more UCL titles to their portfolio.
Could be discussing possible PR strategy after a takeover or what our current sponsorship model is etc.Richard Arnold on the right, its to do with sponsorship I reckon.
You’re right in everything you say. And IF we are sold to mega wealthy owners who want success for United ON the field again and not so much commercially, I welcome it.I'll get a lot of stick for this comment, but if this were Liverpool, I'd be jumping for joy, despite having good owners already.
