Stories doing the rounds this morning (albeit not the most reliable source) that the Qataris will complete the takeover by October.
Convenient timing for these stories or is there something to this finally? The story, albeit from Custis, does back up what some financial journos have been hinting at for a while.
I don't want this to be a thread about whether the Qataris are suitable owners. I think we've done that to death. What I would like to discuss is whether getting rid of the Glazers will give the club a boost like Newcastle got when Ashley left. It seemed a cloud was lifted for them when he left.
Qatar!

You know what, Diafol? It’s only just occurred to me that all of this takeover pantomine actually makes sense - if we realise that Culer is a Qatari national.

Cheers MU52. I may walk it in stages with the dog but I'm not much of a cyclist. My cycling prowess is confined to just cycling along the flat on the prom near where we live.
Beeb - don't think he's ever denied being Qatari!

With our revenue Qatar wouldn’t need to fudge sponsorships like at City
If Qatar air wants to sponsor our shirts for silly money they can as we usually set the ceiling for legit sponsorships anyway
Simply removing the debt, improving and expanding the stadium would make us a financial powerhouse without equal without the need for city tactics
The key will be if they’re as smart as their UAE counterparts were when they just took all of Barcelonas key folks in the back office and let them run their play toy.
That’s the only way we get back to the top

Hardly, just stating the facts
We won’t need the Qataris to give our sponsors the money to sponsor us
You do.

It’s ok blinky bill still hasn’t accepted his club asked for a discount on their fine due to Covid reducing their sell out crowds for years to come
We’ll never be City, thankfully.
Pep had to get back surgery such is the weight of knowing how much he’s been involved in cheating has weighed on his shoulders

Boris and co prefer to pretend they aren't bankrolled by a oil state and their success has been well earned. They live in a land of delusion.
