    The alternative was Qatari state funded ownership. I don’t care how shit the team is on the pitch, I don’t want my club to ever become a state owned sportswashing project. I’d honestly rather keep the Glazer’s in full control than become another Man City or Newcastle. That’s the best thing about this for me, we really don’t need owners to pump money into the club. We just need owners who are actually going to implement a proper structure to build for long-term success.

      Sadly this position is regularly downvoted in r/reddevils. I was this close to quit supporting United, with the Greenwood thing and if the Qatari bid won. I want those bastards gone but not if Qatar takes over my club.

        I feel like it’s getting better now that the flag shaggers have realised Qatar have folded for good and are now pretending they’ve always been behind Ratcliffe.

          I mean it’s the original plastic supporters team and casual football fan team, that combined with the desperation to be good again probably had a lot of united fans frothing for oil money.

            The original, perhaps, but it’s been a while.

      Our owner has dodgy links, but I’d rather forest go back to the championship than be bought be a slave state and buy a load of players , then recruit a load of glory fans

          Yes, has links to drug trafficking through his shipping business .

          Isn’t a thing to proud of , but I think a rich man linked to some shady deals is not the same as turning your club into a complete state run sportswashing project . Which the PL or Governemnt doesn’t dare stand up to
