Yes please
3.75bn? Absolute bargain. Let’s have a Caf whip around!
English owned > Dubai owned
You want Dubai the club, you say?
I guess we’ll be the B-Tec version of the Emirates stadium 
I like what you did there. I appreciate this kind of material.
Go on then.
How would it work with Abu Dhabi (City owners) being by far the richest of the Emirates?
Burj Khalifa Old Trafford
No morals, only trophies

A great bunch of lads
Why doesn't Abu Dhabi, the richest of the Emirates, simply not buy the other Emirates?
If that happens then it's time to say Dubai.
People don't like it but it's either bad ownership or bad owners. Even Ratcliffe is no angel but he's the preferred owner and acceptable (as it gets) ownership.
No way. Only marginally ahead of Saudis. Terrible record on human rights, womens rights, gay rights etc etc. We would be no better than City. Don’t want our club to be a sportswashing “project”.
No thanks.
Also, didn't they jail an English PhD student for life or something just for shits and giggles? I think he was later pardoned after spending a fair bit of time in solitary confinement.

Would be interesting to see how the United fans react if this does happen. Since they have always trolled City fans about having these types of owners.
Surely a section of the fanbase has to be against this?
Also would be fun to watch Mr. Gary "Human Rights" Neville's take on this!

What even is an Emirate? A stadium, a country, an airline?
Am I an Emirate?

More head chopping scumbags is not what is needed.
No thanks.
No thanks.
Clap clap. Very good.
No chance they will sell for that amount when chelsea went for over £4bn
Please. I'm on my knees.
Yes. Yes. Yes
Repeat after me, it wasn't over £4bn, it was £2.5bn with over £1.5bn of guaranteed investment over 10 years.
Christ, seem to have hit a nerve here!
Hard pass.
Yes please
Don't want these fecking cnuts owning the club.
No they didn't. They went for 2.5bn.
No
Please no.
Hes preferable because he just wants to get rid of the Glazers and their debt, put in a proficient structure, maybe upgrade Old trafford but more importantly just let the club spend its own money.
That's perfect, frankly i don't really give a shit about the politics or the practices of our owners i am interested in their capacity to run the football club as a football club, having an ownership from Dubai wouldn't be bad because they are homophobic or whatever, i mean look at Newcastle and the Saudis absolutely nobody gives a shit, the problem is they would pump the club full of money to compete with the other sugar daddies it would be soul destroying.
No thanks. I'd rather keep the Glazers.
That’s why we need to get rid of them quick.
Better than Glazers everything that can get us out of this leeches !
Sickening if these cnuts buy us out.
Would be a huge move . Dubai thrives on tourism. Imagine the PR with united.
Only concern is Emirates is already sponsoring lot of shirts / stadiums. Won't it be a conflict of interest?

Fan owned should be the only acceptable outcome.
feck the petrodollars.
