HaydnNUFC Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 i mean this sounds ridiculous like but i'd be fucking gutted if we were bought by the saudi's man Regarding that, I saw this tweet. I'm desperate and will take any bastard over Ashley atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 No chance I'd take the Saudi's even over Ashley, some things go beyond football. If they took over I would be supporting a completely new team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/11526588/manchester-united-not-for-sale-as-saudi-crown-prince-mohammad-bin-salman-seeks-football-investment £4bn. Buy us for a 1/10th of that and spend the rest of upgrading everything. Eh? Have you people not followed the news at all since MBS came into power? Just this month he's assassinated a journalist in a Saudi consulate in Turkey. MBS is the new boss of the Saudi regime, same as the old one, except young, and he fooled some people at the beginning of his reign by, er, letting women drive. And opening cinemas. My stomach would churn if we were taken over by him. It would definitely a moral and ethical dilemma, but hey, if he invests, and it means Ashley Out, a part of me would look forward to celebrating us lifting a trophy.

Dokko Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Fingers crossed Ashley doesn’t sell to him and he orders a hit. Same tactics in negations for Neymar and were sorted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I suspect it’s all a load of twoddle anyway. In fact, every story about a takeover since after Keegan left has likely been Keith Bishop bollocks. I’m getting angry thinking about that. How much time has the average person on here wasted by looking up news sites/twitter for updates or discussing it on forums? It’s nice to be able to see things quite clearly now. Bishop has run out of moves from his playbook so everything is very obvious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I dislike the Saudi government and its royalty... however, any billionaire owner we get is 99% going to be an intolerable cunt, because 99% of them are. Look at the owners of the other clubs. Most of them are terrible people, but at least many of them invest in the club. That would be my biggest concern: investment and support.

Decky Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If we got rid of Ashley for some mad cunt who wants to fire money at us similar to Man City then I'm all for it. Football lost its morals years ago and the game is all about who can spend the most money. If you ever want to have a chance at winning the league in England (Leicester aside) then you need an owner like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Honestly, I’m sick of this with the premier league. Maybe I’m an idealist but it really puts me off the game being toyed with by all these horrible people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If the only two choices were: Ashley and more of the same Or...

Jimburst Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’d love to see us spend big and have ambition, but we’d be total hypocrites if we welcomed fucking Bin Salman into our club.

Guest chopey Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 What a load of tosh, this chronicle bloke says that Bishops influence is greatly exaggerated and although he has never had a conversation with him he had only met him a few times at the training ground ........!!

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 All the journalists I've heard on things like the TF podcast and the live talk-ins seem to think Bishop is a bit of a joke amongst the press, and that he doesn't influence much at all.
