This will be GREAT! Unlimited spending in the transfer window, no more debt problems, AND ARAB GELATO ALL AROUND!!!

If the takeover is successful; there isn’t much difference between Manchester City and us… maybe we could buy like real Madrid but d fact is that new & upraising talents wouldn’t have d chance 2 taste senior team action…. I would prefer d current state of United where we r still able 2 have young talent make it through d ranks…

What matters right now is to see the Glazers out and United to be free from debt club..it doesnt matter who buy us.

Lets hope this is true

Even though i dun like the current state where the debt accumulated by man united but if man united being takeover by this group. the new owner might force the manager to buy players like real madrid and manchester city, and it might be a disaster in developing the upcoming talent in man united. beisde that, if what the manager said was right about the faith shown by the glazer toward the manager. why not let glazer continue to manage the club, if the situation in man united is not that worse.

Hay if they are willing to buy the club and pay off the debt and not stick there nose in United way or running the club and there philosophy the way Sir Alex does things im all for it. lets Sir Alex buy the players he wants and needs to fit United playing system and not force Sir Alex to buy players just to buy . Its a win For Manchester United

where did this rumor start? i can’t see it on skysports

cheers

I welcome this move,and about buying talents and running team should be left to manager.And it will be the best way to recover our Ronoldo.:)

LOOK AT ALL THE PLAYERS WE BE able TO BUY on REALY I THINK. HOW COME SKY SPORTS NEWS DONT HAVE IT. I HOPE IT HAPPENS. WILL THERE BE MORE TRUTH IN THIS IN THE COMING DAYS.

As long as these guys clear debt, dont interfere -its fine by me, no brainer!

I have to say, i for one am sitting on the fence with this rumor. the modern game is full of owners buying out clubs as if it’s there own little toy. But we all know that, thats not the case. Football runs deeper than just buying out a club and flooding money into the transfer window. It would make me sick to my stomach to see United being turned into another ‘City’ club in terms of transfers, for as long as i can remember we have had a great youth system and ethos and i believe this is the way forward and youth is our future.

The only way i see this as a positive is if the Qatar holdings completely buy out the club but then do not interfere on the football side of things, leave that to the likes of Sir Alex, David Gill and our backroom staff.

No wonder Tevez the greedy bastard wants to come back. He probably thinks that he can get a 300k per week this time

This youth policy is a decoy used by Glazers to avoid spending. We were breaking Transfer record’s every year before they came in. And don’t worry about us becoming city( as if they were any better before money came in) because the new owners will not shut down the Academies and Unlike spain we can have unlimited number of Under 21 players so, kids will get chances.

I got very excited when I saw this story. I’ve been holding out hope this would happen since crazy billionaires started getting involved in football. But I think fears that we will turn into another ‘city’, should this takeover materialize, are unfounded.
Here’s why;
Clubs like City and Chelsea have tried to force success. Chelsea made it happen cos they had the right manager, but look at them now, and City didn’t have the pre existing stability required to have immediate results. United do.
Qatar holdings are not run by some crazy billionaire, but the Qatari royal family. They will not allow their name to be dragged through the mud and are smart enough to know that the directors and Sir Alex would do amazing things with their financial backing. With the world cup coming their way they have 12 years to turn themselves into a football powerhouse. They will know that SAF, Sir Bobby and David Gill can and will get them that reputation.

It might b good but… It could result in us being like man city, where a lot of hot heads in the team can’t work together and we go sliding down the table. Yes it wil pay of our debt. But hopefully the likes of Rooney and co wil not want pay increases. Also Alex ferguson doesn’t change the whole team around he sticks with the ones we have like Anderson And nani who r playing well. But with the money we can get a decent keeper and a replacement for giggs, scholes, Neville and Owen.

I really fo like the idea but just dnt want united spending stupid on players they dnt need and wat after sir alex is gone and cum on how long as he got left thts all I can think bout is if we get a manager who just goes and and spends just coz he can look at the likes of chelsea and city how many big money flops ave they had and only finding 1 gem out of 10 tht ain’t good enough for me united try and look to youth if they can just look wat Welbeck is doin at Sunderland give these players time and they will cum good sir Alex nos this tht they he sends them on loan instead of sellin just dnt want united turnin into city

great news there. i was over at the arsenal game and heard the rumour in the bishops bliaze. would love to see the youth coming through with obertan ando cleverly and nani all in midfield and use the money to build the stadium and the youth and also, it mind sound rediculis but arsene wenger would be the perfect manager to talk over after fergie. i think he will reccommend him because of his knowledge in english football and the football style. anyone else agree?

Yeah! If rumors are true pls get Manutd back in shape where we are out if debts! Not that the glazers are bad, but as a Manutd fan point of view it is good for our beloved club to be debt free and continue to build on our success. No need for buy classy players as they can be proved as wrong investments with huge financial losses. Seeing talented young players coming through and breaking into the first team would make the game much more interesting! And that culture have always been with Manutd for a long time. Tho there is still a need for a good mix of players btw the younger ones and the veteran players.

if this is true then it would put united back to where they belong,at the top,the biggest and best supported club in the world.i would love to see the look on those cocky ciddy plastic fans and mr cooks faces.they wouldn’t be the only ones with buying power.

Any manager come after sir Alex will have to learn to manage the man united way by thinking youth first.Sir Alex learn from sir Matt busby and the next manager will learn from sir Alex. Manchester united don,t have to go out and buy 11 new player to win things because we are a successful team already,Chelsea and city have to buy big because their team isn’t good enough.all they need to do is clear off the debt and leave the rest to sir Alex.

Clearing the debts is all that is required really. We generate enough to fund any transfers required, but extra never hurts. Id personally like to see the debt cleared, Glazers gone, and the stadium expanded to 90k+. With Fergie there for another 3-5 years and Mourinho taking over long term, we shouldnt have a major problem.

If we get the transfer funds it allows us a bit longer to develop talent like obertan and bebe who still arent quite ready for man united first team, but are for lower down prem teams.

@ john they are one of the biggest producer of gas to the whole world and there is only 3 of them if you didn’t know. £1.5b is pocket change for them. They usually buy businesses which has been succesful namely harrots recently.
CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS TO COME THROUGH

Don´t know how all of you have no problems that United could be another toy for a sheikh like City. I know the Glazers aren´t the best owners but they don´t interfere on the football side of the club. They do their commercial work to get the club out of debt and all of you have to admit that they do their commercial work in an extraordinary manner.

What would happen to our next manager or managers? Would they be sacked as fast as from Chelsea and City?

I don´t want a sheikh at United. The Glazers showed that they are willing to pay the debts down and increase the income in a sensational way.

At the end of the day i prefer an owner who doesn´t interfere with the footballing side of the club even if it would mean that we won´t see 30m+ transfers in the next few years. I don´t want United to become such a shithouse like City.

hilarious; 1st of all ever since united went public, the doors were left open for a investor to invest; it was actually very surprising that it took so long for a tycoon to buy out the club. i will be happy for one of the richest countries with 200,000 population to save the club into going down the road of them scourers. COME ON HH AL-THANI FAMILY.
2nd the owners of citeh have never interfered with the football side of the club, they have just given funds to the managers to bring any player they wished for to the club, however they haven’t been able to bring any players they wanted cause they are shit but lets face the facts these wankers just got promoted a 3/4years ago and look at them now if they win 2night they’ll b top of the league for Christmas day.
YES IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC FOR THE FANS TO OWN SHARES IN THE CLUB BUT WELCOME TO 20TH CENTURY AND THE WORLD OF THE BILLIONERS; WE CAN EITHER GO WITH IT AND TAKE WHATS BEST OR SIT BACK AND CRY ABOUT IT.
I THINK I WOULD GO FOR WHATS BEST AND SO WOULD MANY OTHER FANS.

UNITED LATEST WHY DON’T YOU SET UP POLL FOR FANS TO VOTE!!

it mean they wana sale but not for 1.5 billion

Yeah it would be a good idea all right to keep united in debt and always be second favorites to our rivals, very wise. GLAZERS OUT

Maybe Qatar holdings aren’t the perfect owners and there are risks, but on balance I’d prefer them to the Glazers.

For years most of our profits have gone on paying interest on debt, a debt that only exists so the Glazers can own the club. If new owners can remove that debt that’s a step forward.

When you say £1 billion investment in the club, how much would it cost to expand OT South stand to full capacity, I have heard around the £300m region. But there is nothing more I would love to see than Fergie with a budget just like Mancini or Mourinho.

Good for long term too as we all know that to get Mourinho when Fergie goes we are going to have to pay big big big money.

I think these people could be trusted as they seem to have developed an interest in football with 2022 World Cup, which was a joke decision.

Another positive is that United have shown they can function their team affairs sucessfully whilst under foreign ownership. The best people to have around would be Ferguson and Gill commanding respect and leaving outside interference away. Although are foreign owners necessary with new rule for UEFA coming in 2014 regarding debt managment?
