At the moment, yes...but what if Nice drastically improve in the next couple seasons to make the CL? It's hardly twilight zone stuff.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Probably to emphasize the point that it’s a potential issue with both of our most likely new owners, since it’s usually only mentioned regarding PSG.
It doesn’t jut have to be CL. They were a cup final away for being in the same competition as United in this season alone.
I read somewhere that EL and CL are classed as the same competition of sorts due to the third placed teams dropping down to EL
It a disgrace and I say that as a United fan who would benefit the most from this.
still its sounds weird isn't it? Let's hope that they don't end up like Lausanne who were promised European football....
They havent but Nice isnt far off, 5th I think?
that makes sense. I think it would arrange a discriminatory system. Why should Red Bull be allowed to own two CL clubs but not Qatar/INEOS?
they are 7th. However UEFA might decide to focus solely on form in the past 10 games just as most pro SJR people do in here. In that case they'll probably make it
I mean - it certainly makes sense - but why only now.
Does it make sense? How can you guarantee integrity of competition when the same entity owns two clubs playing against each other. It’ll be like team orders in F1, letting the slower car through for the ‘good of the team’. It’s crap and it stinks
So this latest news on multi club ownership will be a major boost to City group as well.
They have been hoovering up clubs all over the world, I wouldnt be surprised if they went to Italy, Spain and Germany with their model now.
Imagine La Liga would welcome a new "Barcelona" as it seems like Barca are about to be destroyed as a club. Imagine Espanyol haha wow.
As for the ruling, I think it was always likely - PSG/Qatar have strong links to UEFA, they didnt want the superleague and the board of directors are on the UEFA board as members. Basically whatever they want will happen.
The multi club ownership model would never be a blocker in a potential Qatar takeover, they can grease the wheels no worries and even if theres an issue they can just change the rules to suit them.

Well precisely because Red Bull do it means that it should not be an issue with Qatar or INEOS
I dont think that would ever happen or be an issue, club ownership isnt like having the same manager or even board of directors or even CEO.
Each club would have its own objectives and would operate independently, I really dont get how people think that youd basically be the same club?
There would never be a situation where the clubs meet each other then some big boss phones up the manager of one and says - let the others win or your out.
Im sure most people would tell them to piss off and it would be a huge scandal.
They were literally 3 points away from a CL place in Ligue 1 last season.
Can we have an update only thread ?
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/sale-of-manchester-united-tweets-only.475601/
There is a tweet only thread. But it's gone very quiet.
Which lead to exactly?
But but but we aren´t being bought by the same entity.
Because there is absolutely nothing to report - lots of discussion here based on a lot of incorrect assumptions and guesswork
Next stage after the face to face meetings with the Glazers will be formal bids when we might actually start hearing some real details rather than vague expressions of interest that we had so far
Did you read carefully? I am in agreement with the controls but why only now.
That horse has already bolted with Salzburg and Leipzig.
Not an unusual occurrence at all. They are likely doing so either (I) from the public side of their information barrier as a market maker in the public shares, for which buying shares is their obligation as a market maker, or (ii) from the private side of the wall, working on behalf of their client to create a toe hold position.
- Prospective Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is set to be at Old Trafford on Friday to receive a presentation on the potential sale process.
- United staff have been outlining the workings of the club to various parties over the last week.
- Representatives of Qatar's Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are due at the club on Thursday.
Ratcliff comes in person and boyhood United fan sheikh Jassim doesn't?
#RatcliffeIn
Ratcliffe’s got to try harder though, him being a Chelsea season ticket holder and all.
Sky Sports News are going to be camped outside with their cameras like a Deadline Day aren't they?
I feel we need a representative from the Cafe. I would but I have to wash my hair on both days. Otherwise, I'd have been there.
Have to say: I respect him showing up personally.
Preparing us for another absent owner?
I used to have a Palace season ticket, its such a nonsense argument.It should be normal practise for both - tell me why Sheikh Jassim shouldn't come in person?

So you’re a Palace fan?
You can't and its been abused long before this, look at the city group, remember when New York City signed lampard and a couple of days later he was loaned back to Man City for the season.
Groups that own 8+ clubs now, the whole thing is too far gone now and there's no way anyone has the minerals to tear it all up and force these owners out so you are stuck with join them or accept you won't be as successful as you could. United could possibly be the enigma that breaks the rule, but its an exception to the rule rather then applicable to anymore then maybe 3/4 clubs.

You know, I would have hoped for Jassim to come to old Trafford - I would not be surprised if he comes now that he sees Ratcliff will be attending.
His advisers probably mentioned to Jassim that there is no need to come as the glazers would not be there, and it’s pure financial/legal conversations (you would think that as a chairman of bank, he would be comfortable with this).

Or maybe it was leaked that Jassi was secretly coming but it was leaked. So Ratcliffe decided to come too?
I'm sure it's only a coincidence that it's came up now that Qatar are trying to buy United. Isn't it?
He won't, its only people on social media and forums like this that think it has any relevance at all if the man is there or not.
