    Yeah to make money... I can't see them increasing the value above 6 billion that's all.

    If that's true they surely would have just bought Liverpool as planned because nufc was bought instead because of the prices.

    Probably a bit of both?

    They probably learned about all the whinging scousers do and decided against it. You weren't as high profile, so they would have less attention on them at the start.

    A country with unlimited funds dont care about making a few hundred million over a decade or whatever, but they do care about being seen as a welcoming friendly nation that folk will visit and happily trade with. They know oil wont be around forever.

    But it will probably cost them billions to get to the club being worth billions.

    don’t be silly. Every time I see a show about Blackpool there are always people wearing Newcastle shirts. That’s a massive untapped market they are sitting on.

    The days when a foreign signing was happy with £5k per week and a courtesy Lada

    This is certainly partially, not absolutely the case. They'll grow the club into a massive, globally successful and powerful force.
    They'll be able to promote their own businesses (not agendas or State laws) through it, and it will make them money. It will also make them more visible in an acceptable way.
    They'll do it all legally, and the only people that will be in uproar about it are jealous rival ownerships and fan bases.

    Absolutely glorious. We got a bit of luck for once.

    Proof that every fanbase will beg to be an oil club when the opportunity is there.

    There were other options.

    Fact is, the priority is get rid of the stench of the Glazers, so no one cares who comes in any more.

    Fact is, the Glazers were going to sell to the highest bidder. Just a shame it wasn’t the British bloke, he could have been good for United.

    Sir Jim is a big United fan. Doubt he will be interested.

    I think he's been used to bump up the price....I can't see anyone beating the qataris to the purchase.
