They don't sound delusional either, some of the owners would demand Europe in the first year The fact they are apparently aiming for CL in 3-5 years tells me they are not only ambitious but understand it will take time for that sort of team to be built.

Fuck Matt and Tom.

I'm already expecting it, i will be surprised if it doesn't happen.

The Mbappe stuff is insane Even if we got a Man City type investment we wouldn't be signing players of that level straight away, City didn't get anyone like that for a while. They were signing players like Bellamy, Wayne Bridge and Nigel De Jong. My memory may be failing me, but I think you're recalling the wrong Man City takeover? https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/01/manchester-city-all-signings-10-years-abu-dhabi-united-group Not according to this.

I take it you disagree then? I don't see how the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd wouldn't be getting offers like that if they were for sale. Not with man united or Liverpool. But that’s not most of the CL Clubs. You’ve literally picked two of the top handful. Tottenham are the only one IMO, Chelsea and City probably wouldn't be sold because they already have mega rich owners and i could easily see a Arsenal sale surpass 1 billion tbh.

If Roberto Martinez is going to be the replacement what's the point? I get that Valverde has his limitations and faults but surely if you're going to fire him you have to get better than Roberto fucking Martinez?

They undoubtedly are, only reason we are 'only' worth 350 is because Ashley has treated us like a cheap retail store. Most of the clubs in the CL will be worth in the billions to those who can afford it.

I'm not sure i deserve both my sports teams getting their shit in order in the same summer tbh.

Gimp man. Not sure i should allow myself to feel things yet.

Yes because people being realistic on a football forum instead of losing their minds because of the Dubai twitter journalists saying the equivalent of "it happen" has any impact on a sale of a Premier League football club worth 100s of millions. Us being negative or positive has absolutely zero impact, you are free to take it how you want but i prefer to approach any situation with honesty and realistic expectations. you absolute clean shirt Nah i've just been hurt too many times, i don't get too down or too excited anymore because of it. I've never felt more cynical, reading all these happy people. Fair play to them. Exactly. Saying that if you're still able to muster the happiness from within like that don't let me stop you. I wish i wasn't so cynical but here we are.

The latter. How can a respected Dubai based journo with links to the royal family and 400k Twitter followers not be deemed credible? Twitter followers Give it a week and Ashley will give a statement saying the club isn't for sale.

He probably did as well.

The latter.

So do i, but i'm just saying they aren't exactly saying anything new and their answers to people asking if they have new info isn't exactly promising.

Yeah but they aren't saying anything Just it's done and when people ask about the Sun the responses is "it's done". Their words aren't exactly the most inspiring, almost like they read the reports and assumed they were reliable. Saying it’s done is pretty definitive like It's also what The Sun said They haven't said anything more and when people ask them if they have their own information their answers being "it's done" which doesn't answer the question isn't exactly definitive.

Didn't know The Sun was such a popular paper in Dubai.
