ender4 Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 10pm deadline today for bids to buy Man Utd. Rumours are of a few bids gone in, with Qatar having bid around £5 billion and probably the highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the managerial failures they have had. Ten looks like they finally got a appointment right. The club has spent big i agree but i think the ownership situation is the biggest issue they have. Once thats sorted i can see them winning titles again unfortunately Its not the ownership, that's just what the media want the Norwich scarf wearing element of their fans to believe, it's all a smokescreen to cover their entitlement Utd not winning anything has to be a reason, it cant be because someone is better or because of the cyclical nature of football and definitley not a good thing it has to be someone's fault, it cant be the fault of people in the background that they don't know or understand what they do and for some reason it was never really Woodwards fault (when it was almost definitley Woodwards fault) And I've said this many times, utd expanded rapidly in the 90s, they chased commercial deals and huge revenues and we're incredibly successful off the back of it, they changed world football and turned it from a global sport in to a global business, they are now ran by businessmen using perfectly legitimate business practices to finance their business whilst also taking huge amounts of profit out of that business, the glazers purchase of man utd has been hugely successful for them, they're not a football club in the traditional sense that fans want them to be, hardly any clubs are anymore as clubs have moved away from fans and it was utd who kickstarted the trend, I would lay a whole lot of the games gone thread at man utds feet - long story short.... **** em, this is their own doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours are of a few bids gone in, with Qatar having bid around £5 billion and probably the highest. Confirmed Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad bin Jaber Al Thani, the chairman of one of Qatar's biggest banks, has confirmed a bid to buy Manchester United. The move comes ahead of Friday's 22:00 GMT 'soft deadline' for submitting proposals. It is the second bid to be made public after businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe stated his interest last month. In a statement, the Qatari consortium said: "The bid plans to return the club to its former glories. Edited February 17, 2023 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool could probably get a billionaire owner come in meaning a top 5 with arsenal and spurs dropping out.

Zatman Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Qatar have sort of failed as owners of PSG in a one team league. Yes they have dominated domestically but have had a number of Champions League flops and think lost the Ligue 1 two or three times. Best signing they have made is probably still Zlatan and that was 10 years ago Premier League is a lot more competitive so will be more challenging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could throw chelsea in there if they continue spending like they have but i think they will drift off because there seems to be no proper plan there. Its really shit thats this is happening more and more. Utd showed when othwr clubs spent like they were they were failing. Now they need to out spend most teams again like the 90s to win titles again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
