Why does it look like it’s going that way?
All that seems to be happening is that a dodgy Twitter account suggests it’s done and then a ‘reputable’ newspaper dismisses it. Why don’t people want them? Maybe because they’re from another country and have no connections to Manchester or the club. The country they’re from has a bad history of human rights. They will attract more #@&%!s following us. Just a few reasons I can think of. Personally I couldn’t care as long as someone takes over asap. |

I don’t want them because it’s dirty money from a regime who have stupid religion based laws
I dont want them because it will mean we will be a vehicle to improve the standing of Qatar on the world stage And I dont want them because it will make us no better than City Having said all that, I just know if/when they buy us I will still go |

Nation states shouldn't own football clubs. I can't even be arsed going through all the reasons. And some are worse than others, but they're fundamentally all @#%&!s and shouldn't be allowed near any football team.
But at the same time, The Premier League and our own shithouse state have ushered it into English football with open arms with complete disregard for what it does to the game as a whole. There's a good argument that if custodians of the game don't give the slightest £#%&!, then why should we the fans. And that's a good argument to which I have no counter for. It's not our fault we got £#%&!ed over with the Glazers, and it's not City's fault they have their owners. Two examples which couldn't be more different, but both were bad for the game in their own ways. City fans were begging for it, we we're protesting against it. Both were ushered through by those who should have been stopping it. So what the £#%&! are we meant to do? We accept it or tough shit, it's happening anyway. I've been saying for years that Manchester United was the only thing keeping me interested in top flight football precisely because of the absolute nonsense of City, PSG and Newcastle, and whoever else the £#%&!. Logic dictates that United becoming the thing that is turning me off top flight football is only going to turn me off it even more. |

For me it’s about devaluing an already devalued competition - and the people doing that are Middle East states. It seems utterly bizarre that state ownership was ever allowed to happen but once it did then it’s difficult to stop. I think rules and fairness are fairly important in sport and they should be valued above everything else - otherwise it becomes farcical very quickly. My blue mates deep down know that beating Gillingham in the play off final in 1999 means more to them than winning the lance Armstrong treble. In summary, it will make the sport ever more farcical and selfishly, I will lose interest fairly rapidly as that happens. And my kids might superficially enjoy it but deep down, they will never enjoy united as much as I did and as they should be able to. |

United are a football club not some religious deity.
Football has changed, forever. The ideal situation is every club having support itself organically but that has long gone. I get the gammons want United to be the club they were in the ‘good old days’ but the truth is they aren’t, and never will be again unless they move with the times. |
