    Man United fans are the next club to be quite open to oil money. It's just how it works.

    And you know this?

    The club is being sold by the Glazers, not us. It's not our choice. Nor was the Glazers plunging us into unmanageable debt in the first place.

    But yeah, Donga ****ing knows better.

    Can I just point something out? We won't need to make up sponsors and cook the books at United. The club makes it own money, thanks.

    let's hope you don't lose on the 26th or your greatness will seem somewhat diminished.

    I'm sure you'll be happy with the new owners like say ..... I actually hope they buy leeds or West ham tbh.

    Man united don't need money as you say and the more clubs with it the better the league will be.

    Are those two clubs for sale?

    Not sure the Qatari's are in the market for another club, it's only that it's us.

    Truth is, it's a ****e situation.

    We want the Glazers out, and the only options will come in under a cloud of some sort as anyone with that amount of cash will have something in their closet for someone else to cry about.

    Best case is Jim Ratcliffe. Buys the whole thing and runs it like the self sufficient entity that it is.

    He'd be very generous spending that money to do so though.

    It's not Donga mate, it's Munse changing his name again.

    Dunno mate just read they're simply interesting in investing in a premier league club.

    Apparently man united approached them about a sale.

    I would expect there's probably interest in a number of clubs, but most likely seems a full man united sportswashing.

    They could take spending to new level at man united.

    Except they can't, because they own PSG and UEFA doesn't allow owners to have two clubs in the same completion. And it's unlikely we'll never get in the CL again tbf.

    Thinking about it though, haven't RB Leipzig and RB Saltzburg competed in that comp at same time?

    Not sure, might have to check.

    Sadly that's not the case mate because it's a separate group.. essentially a different company...

    In UEFA you can fully own one club and be invested in another but not be a majority shareholder.

    Now, how RB get around this ruling is beyond me. RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg have played one another in the Europa League.

    There's a difference between being run by people who make money from oil and people who chop journalists into small pieces in their embassy's.
