I don’t think I’ve ever said they do anything of the sort tbh your fervour-ed defending and promoting of them is just, I don’t know, distasteful.. not sure what it is, just seems off.

That said, you’ve been a Glazer stooge throughout, so I shouldn’t be surprised.

I didn’t say you did.

The only thing United have never done as a club is go out and buy the best player in the world, like Mbappe now or a Messi/Ronaldo in their prime. We’ve bought from one rung below, Van Persie etc but never from the top.

This is the only difference that a Qutar ownership could make, we’ve done everything else already.

Let them come in and get the infrastructure right because l think they’re the only ones that will do it. Then when their era ends which it inevitably will do we should be in a better place.

Making the arguments for Qatari ownership so ludicrous, unbalanced and unquestioning that he turns neutral supporters off the idea.

So basically they're just coming into to give the place a lick of paint then that's them done

Era's come to an end, thanks for the roof.....

If you think that's why they're buying you'll be in for a massive shock when the away strip is released next year....

Maroon reds

The problem with the bidding process is what happens with the losers.

If Ratcliffe or the US hedge funds miss out and move on to Liverpool (for example) we would be laughing at the state they’d be in.

If it’s the Qatari’s it wouldn’t be quite as amusing.

Great logic.

Yeah it's just a 5 Billion quid loan deal pal.

Outside of Tatty who I doubt is 100% serious in just about anything they post, who actually thinks like this? Do you also stare out of your living room window all evening silently seething at your neighbours new motor as well?

Letting opposition teams live rent free in your head worrying that they'll win a race to the bottom of the barrel

He literally moved to the other side of the world to get away from the glazers

There’s quite a bit of clue in the word “Middle”

Then spent his time on here telling us how good the Glazer’s are whenever anyone complained

I was defending you! There's no need to be pedantical.

Great insight. Here's me thinking they were just a bunch of time served reds wanting to pay the club back for the good times.

If you can point me to one post where I said how good the glazers are…..

You got any recent pictures of the games you’ve attended?

There’s a lot of noise and pantomime around the bidding process which is understandable.

My take is that the Glazer’s want to sell for as much as they can get…and the Qatari’s are probably the only bidders who can afford to pay it.

It's a massive deal of convenience for the pair of them, Glazers get their billions & Qatar gets to carry on its sports washing post World Cup for peanuts in comparison. They reportedly spent ~$220bn on the whole World Cup, so spending another £5bn or so on one of the worlds finest footballing institutions won't faze them.
