It might push the price up at Liverpool, or drive the price down for United.

Ronaldo made it clear that Carrington hasnā€™t had any real upgrades for 20 years, meanwhile we all know Old Toilet needs a massive overhaul. Weā€™ve got two new stands and the new training facility.

Reckon the Bahrain Royal Family or their sovereign wealth fund end up in charge at United. United fans would accept it.

I hope Musk buys them and does as good a job as heā€™s doing at twitter with them.

Best in Europe

Isnā€™t that British Tory wanker a fan.

I know that doesnā€™t narrow it down but Iā€™ve forgot his name.

There is a survivorship bias in that most of those whoā€™d leave in objection have already walked away over the way the Glazers put their personal debt onto the club.

Thing is if Man Utd start spending like a drunken sailor drinks, whatā€™s the actual difference?

We all have that one friend who jumps in after the fight has already been won.

Canā€™t speak for the veracity of this:

Fuck it, just let every PL club be owned by Arab states.

Job sorted.

Apple have shareholders. They would need to demonstrate that there is value in any purchase. They have also gone into TV production. If the broadcast rights for matches were to revert to the individual clubs it would make sense to have a stake in a global brand like Manchester United.

Yep thatā€™s a point thatā€™s not coming across. Where they will see the biggest gains will be improvements in stadium infrastructure, training grounds etc. Absolutely there will still be bigger spending but it comes back to whether a club like City have spent less than they otherwise could have to be less conspicuous ( :rofl: :joy:) or whether there genuinely is not much more than they can do by adding an extra Ā£1B, Ā£2B, Ā£3B over 10 years in player purchases.

United are obviously in a much better FFP ( :unamused:) situation that they would push the boat out more, but if the internal structures and the people that hold positions of power remain at the club, still allow social media polling to aid them in player purchases (the only logical explanation how they could decide on some of the players over recent years that were fan favourites before the club purchased them), then that additional money wonā€™t make a tremendous difference.

The fear is that a new owner will do a fucking top to bottom cleanout of the club and start fresh and actually fix the real problems at the club.

I think bad publicity from the toxic fanbase with demonstrations etc is too much of a high risk factor for a high-profile company like Appleā€¦
There is talk of Beckham heading a consortium alsoā€¦ probably his Qatar buddies.!
Canā€™t wait to see how this eventually unravels thoughā€¦
Given how corrupt FIFA appear to be, and EUFA being the shit outfit it comes across asā€¦ not sure football in general is in a good place at the moment
