If there's plenty out there you shouldn't have a problem linking any of it? I've not seen Liverpool claiming their squad is full of asthmatics nor have I seen anything other than one bloke claiming they have high asthma rates. Do you have anything more concrete than that?

Sorry but I have better things to do with my time than trawling the internet to demonstrate to a united fan that the lot down the road can’t be trusted.

peer
noun
a person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status.
something of equal worth or quality

Are you sure you are on the right forum?

You edited it after the fact

Happy to answer your question which is really you trying to divert away from the discussion about cheating. See you managed to find the time to stay and chat, any luck digging up any of the plentiful evidence out there?

Leave for a couple of hours and obvs quayders volleys it home.

Laughable that people are pretending they wouldn't give a shit if that happened.

I think a lot of their support and hierarchy wouldn’t. You don’t spend your entire history building yourself up as one the most iconic, revered and successful football clubs in the world (yes Liverpool) to simply allow yourself to become the playing thing of a sports washing exercise that is destroying the very game you’ve been successful in.

But if they did then more fool them.

There’s a good reason why the sports washers have picked off non entity clubs to run with.

Are we saying City and Newcastle are non entities now?

Must admit, beginning to waver back towards Qatar a bit. The guy does seem as much a United fan as Jim. Where do you draw the line? Because he is foreign/Arab loses cred. But where’s Jim’s cred? From Failsworth but watches Chelsea and tried to buy them? Also, has he got the dish? Will he impose his own economics on us? Stadium issue?
Shazam or whatever his name is, has the readies. He was involved with fan groups fwiw, so doesn’t appear clueless.

Still wavering.

Fair enough from a United fan perspective but calling the current English champions a non entity is slightly disingenuous.

Not if they get Juventused

But they were before they were bought, which is the point no?

I'd say a combination of two things for both City and Newcastle. Cheap and desperate. Two very attractive attributes for a prospective buyer

Best description I ever heard of Newcastle is that Newcastle are a massive club, in Newcastle.

you mean apart from the salbutamol

hyman is right, what is going on

I’m confused because people keep calling you Keith but didn’t Keith post last week? I’m assumed he just didn’t post much nowadays.

I've said all along that I have some sympathy for those against a Qatari takeover, and in some ways I actually admire the willingness to prioritise idealism over sucess for the club.

But my enthusiasm in the face of being perpetual also-rans to City, Newcastle and possibly Liverpool wouldn't be sustained by the thought we were financially 'purer' than them.
