Daweii Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I only want this to happen so another team doesn't get their money. Ultimately I know we don't need QSI money, and I know that whatever hoops they'll have to jump through to make things work once we're in Europe likely won't be worth it, but do I want another team around us becoming PSG rich? Not really.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that most of that is media propaganda horseshite. Mostly driven by the likes of Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt. No doubt that in the past, regionwide, construction workers and so on have had to work through poor conditions, but on the whole that has changed. As petty as it sounds, especially since Qatar have secured the World Cup, these GCC countries in the region have been overwhelmed with jealousy and trying to drive a narrative. Their is currently a blockade on Qatar from those countries, they tried to claim "Terrorism involvement", and quietly they have said if Qatar agrees to hand over the World Cup to them or share it they will drop the agenda. The politics in this region are alot more complicated and petty than meet the eye. They literally have grown men, Royal, rich teenager style "dick measuring" competitions" Please don't believe everything you read in the media.

Not really.. This was also my thinking mate. That was/is actually my major worry. I'm quite happy with our owners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted April 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think it's incredibly unlikely they will be remotely interested in us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted April 12, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 12, 2019 The original article is so vague on who they would want that it all strikes me as a story about the fact English clubs are doing so well in champions league this season that some rich fellas fancy getting into the UK arena.

Especially given 2022. Sure. I still don’t want them though. I don’t want us to become Man City or anything like that, maybe years ago I would’ve thought different but I’m quite happy with sustainability and growing as a club after almost going bust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazrim Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Super rich Egyptian / American to super rich Qatari... Won't make much difference to us. We'll have all the money we'll need or be allowed to spend anyway. I'll say this for the Qataris though. They haven't made a good gaming system since the Jaguar. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really.. The thing is though even if they take over another Championship team they still have to get promoted without breaking FFP. As we have found in this league it isn't as easy as going out and buying the best players before waltzing back to the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted April 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2019 Find the responses here incredibly interesting. If this was 12 months ago everyone would be lapping this up. Just goes to show the general satisfaction of the leadership (and spending power) of Sawiris and Edens I think. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carewjust4u Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 If you were the current owners, surely you wouldn't sell until the club had achieved promotion and thus soured in value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow for me gives a lot of encouragement and building blocks are been put in place through the club PSG owners come in and probably want a big name like Henry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
