----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Qatari state, mostly.

Well, the state and the family name.

For what purpose?

Reputation - both locally and globally, and investments, amongst other things.

What is their reputation currently, and how would buying United enhance that or even change public perception?


What is their current reputation?

That’s not a question that has a definitive answer, but their reputation has strong links with human rights abuses, deaths etc.

Lol. Rich people want exciting brands on their portfolios. I don’t think they give a feck if they think Dave in Stratford thinks they have a chequered human rights record.

That was supposed to read Dave in Stretford, although I imagine United have a similar amount of fans in both 😜

Of course they do. They’re business people.

United is a global brand.
