Man Utd Thread:

Well I'm sure none of us know too much about whoever is buying United, if he is from Qatar is it OK to negatively stereotype him?

Don't kid yerselves. If the highest bidder was the divil himself you'd accept it if he brought with him the riches to buy who you want and win silverware galore.

Honestly? I dont think so tbh, I'm not fussed on the Qatari's. We've spent more than our fair share the past decade so clearly money can't buy success if you're not spending it wisely.

It's state backed, like City, like Newcastle, like PSG.

But United have been one of the richest clubs in the world and have spent as much as any club the last 10 years with very little to show for it??

ETH seems to have got a structure in place which could work for them hopefully a Qatari circus like PSG can put them back into disarray!

More to it than that. Need owners who are interested in bringing in the right people on and off the pitch, owners who will also invest in the infrastructure etc. too.

Owners like City (without breaking any financial rules) would be the dream. They get football people and good structures in place without sticking their nose in like that tool who owns Chelsea and just sign the cheques

Have to say the last 24-48 hours have been utterly depressing. While getting rid of leeches like the Glazers is essential the next priority is getting owners who just don't get in the way. And you certainly don't want outright scum in charge. Alleged United supporters preferring Qatar over Radcliffe can do one in my opinion. Unfortunately saw some online polls indicating a strong majority favouring this. They're not United supporters in my mind (realise this is controversial but stand over it and won't be replying). Radcliffe may not be perfect but he's not someone who stands over slave labour and murder. Qatar taking over United would be an absolute disaster and disgrace. Surely the "fit and proper persons" regulation should be too high a bar for a country like Qatar?

United don't need oil money to get back to the very top. They just need owners who aren't bleeding the club dry while being totally incompetent.

United does not need oil money. United generate a ridiculous amount of money that allowed United to spend as much as anyone WHILE parasites took a billion out of the club.

What United need is ownership with the best interests in the club and pulling in one direction.

Ie; United need owners for whom purchasing the club is not a financial decision. Is that anyone outside a state backed owner? Will Ineos want a return for their purchase?

It's the Premier Leagues fault for allowing these oils states to take over.

It wouldn't happen in Germany as fans have a big say

You think Newcastle fans didn't want the Saudis??

[rodney trotter]

A lot of them did  yeah, didn't say they wouldn't.

[Milltown Row2]

Rashford is in some form but De gea has kept Utd in this match

[Armagh18]

United are a different level. Alright oil money buying tinpot clubs like City, Chelsea, PSG, Newcastle etc but it'll be a sad day when a top club like United, Liverpool, Barca, Real or Bayern goes.

Surely UEFA can block a Qatar bid given their ownership of PSG?

Rashford is the best player in the world right now.
