The Glazer Reign Is Crumbling

Publicly pimped out to the highest bidder by a bunch of £#%&!ing rats. Can't wait for this circus to end.

When this all started, there was talk of £5bn, but I honestly thought we’d go for about £4bn, which is still a crazy amount.

The fact we’re sat here six months later, with parties making two and three bids, going over £5bn is absolutely ridiculous.

Im surprised both parties haven’t become pissed off and pulled the plug.

The glazers have made it so that bidding on us is some kind of privilege.

It’s already cost us a summer window and made a public spectacle of us. They are utterly repugnant creatures.

No shit. They've also broken every FFP rule they possibly can and conducted reams of dodgy business in repeated and failed efforts to win the Champions League as part of their sports washing project for their rank state. You're more than willing to bend over the highest bidder, moral issues be damned, but not everyone is pal. Soz.

Good old Ineos!

INEOS, the petrochemicals giant owned by the UK’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has said it could close its Middlesbrough manufacturing plant unless it is allowed to “defer compliance” with EU rules designed to prevent air and water pollution, according to documents obtained by Unearthed.

This strawman has been burnt down numerous times.

Are INEOS an ethically and morally rightous organisation? No.

Has anyone claimed that they are? No.

Are they in any way comparable to a state such as Qatar? Absolutely not. Well, only by people happy to look the other way at the blatant chasm of difference between the two.

Or people who know the truth.

Wait, so all the bad things about Qatar are completely made up and all lies? All the evidence collected about their modern day slavery, corruption, human rights abuses etc etc are all just made up and aren't true at all?

And I'm meant to be believe that because someone who takes their money tells me so with nothing to back it up?

Well has I’ve explained plenty of times with plenty of evidence to back it, yes but you’re not willing to accept it so it’s pretty pointless. I can’t help that you choose to believe what the guardian tells you.

No you absolutely haven't. Feel free to give it a go though, PM's are always open.

I'm not sure why everyone who wants Qatar seems to think we're £#%&!ed financially if BJR takes over. We've got one of the biggest spends as it is under the Glazers (not spent very well but still...) and even if he didn't put a penny in from INEOS towards transfers do you really think the biggest club in the country with one of the highest turnovers in the world couldn't compete when it doesn't have to pay out tens of millions of pounds each year in interest payments and dividends?

Besides, how much money does this fake Sheikh have anyway? If he was that rich he would've blown BJR out of the water ages ago. It seems he has to keep going back to his shady backers scrambling for a few extra quid as he doesn't have the money himself. Isn't he just a bank chairman anyway? Who knows? Nobody does.

The transfers budget is a misnomer. Regardless of who is charge, the transfer budget is set by the FFP stipulations. It’s the debt and infrastructure investment that will be the difference.

Not sure it is. The transfer budget is set by the clubs revenues which include sponsorship revenues that Qatar will surely target.

I imagine our transfer budget under Qatari ownership will be far bigger than under BJR.
