Manchester United: Where to next?

It will cause huge divisions in United & Liverpool fan bases if it happens.



Seems sportswashing owners are more readily accepted at clubs where previous success is lackikng and/or a distant memory.

Definitely. Match going fans definitely care about it more.

Are there any protests planned over the Qatar interest?

Too early for that mate. We are still trying to push the American campaigners out.

And there won’t be protests regarding Qatari owners. You can get the majority of United supporters wanting the Glazers gone and having a massive protest but can you see a fanbase protesting something that is pretty much a guarantee to win trophies? I can’t.

The fanbase would be split down the middle on Qatari owners, so much harder to see a mass protest. There is no splitting down the middle regarding the Glazers, most can agree they want the Glazers gone.

It doesn't matter if a club needs it.

Both are bottom feeders of English football.

But I thought ME owners were buynig clubs because they genuinely wanted to invest in the community & were investing because they were in it to make a profit? Seems that's what some fans believe.......

If you sell your soul then I guess you are all in. We've seen that on this board for years

Pep needs to get a grip.

He's turned into a great WUM. I think he's given up on the English press, just takes the piss more often than not. Love it.

That sounds ridiculous to me. Let's wait it out and maybe put in a bid? Lol. You either want to buy the club or not. This isn't some rich guy / hedge fund bidding for a painting!

Surely anyone who seriously wants to buy the club has put a bid in by now.

Pretty funny that he is known as HBJ in Qatar.

Really struggling to see how SJR/Ineos wins in a bid against Qatar now.

The Qatari’s really want to buy United.

Sportswashers the lot of them. The guy originally wanted to buy Chelsea despite being a boyhood United fan. Basically, sportswashing.

Sports clubs around the world are owned by rich businessmen who probably supported different clubs growing up. SJR was a Chelsea season ticket holder. Plenty of rich businessmen would be season ticket holders of clubs in London, clubs that they have never supported. It means nothing.

They're season ticket holders cause they want to go to a game and the train to Manchester is full

SJR probably hasn’t been to Manchester in 30 years, outside of the last few months.

Jims just a tyre kicking attention seeker IMO.

Yeah, he probably is. He didn’t seem to be serious about the Chelsea bid and only came into it very late (?)
