He’s right. And that’s a shot across Ronaldo’s bow. I’m loving Casemiro more and more every day.
Watched this yesterday. Three things stood out for me:
If they’d had a good season it might’ve happened. His next move will be Newcastle or City - no-one else bar a Qatari United will be able to afford him.
I completely get wanting the investment. If United are to be competitive, someone needs to drag them out of the toilet. I realise how lucky I was to spend my teens and 20s watching the team I support win everything but some things are more important. I feel sorry for younger fans but for me personally, it’s probably time to call it a day if the Qataris come in. With Ratcliffe I could just about carry on. Ineos are a horrible company but it really seems like he’s doing it for emotional reasons as it doesn’t make business sense. Better than the Glazers and Qataris IMO even if it isn’t a high bar.
The reasons add up though. Like a dripping tap (faucet). Facebook died a slow death, Twitter is dying a slow death - even if Musk hit it with a couple of shots to the chest. Reddit could go that way too. When the good people leave, you’re just left with scumbags on a scumbag platform and users aren’t idiots and don’t accept toxic places online anymore.
Too young to remember him. 180+ appearances, two FA Cups and a League Cup. Low key legend. The sort of player I’d have asked my grandad about with his encyclopedic knowledge but he passed the other year.
Difficult to judge the room in such a new community, but I’ll get it off my chest nice and early. I am 100% against the Qatari bid. For me it’s the end of any sort of wholesome reason to support United. Some will argue it’s the modern way and that we have to keep up with the times, but as much as I hate what the Glazers have done to the club, their final act of treason would be to sell to some sportswashing slave owners.
EDIT: I can’t spell
Cheers for setting everything up guys. Looking forward to some good chat
Good morning to my fello Redfugees. A great time to be alive, isn’t it? City have cheated to a treble, Reddit are killing their platform and we’re about to get Qatari ownership.
Sorry but sympathy with GNev’s opinions only go so far with me. Never said a word until he had his career and investments away from United nice and secure. Once he was safe to start throwing muck, he started criticising. Look at Rio and others. Never say a word because they know how important their connection is to the club still.
