It's the same group that was rumored to be considering a Liverpool bid earlier. Obviously the names of all the stakeholders in the group aren't publicly available, but those that were listed by a couple of sources I read are all "government-adjacent" players in Qatar and neighboring nations. Seems as though this is the next move to avoid being a "state-run" club while still having access to shady funds from state sources. I hope the league does their due diligence for this sale and those coming soon after.

"Government adjacent"? What is that? A nephew of the Emir? The Sheik's 4th brother?
Yeah. If it waddles like a duck and craps on the sidewalk like a duck, it's a duck.

Lol. Actually your hypotheticals are almost exactly right.
Oh I definitely wasn't joking. These are massive royal families that have been in control since the British left. It's still the Royals and it's still state owned.
definitely money just like the Chris Beard situation. Beard's finance realized the money train would come to a halt and she comes out saying it was my fault and i never wanted him arrested. yada yada.Mathguy64 said:

What BS.

Unlike the Beard situation, however, in that Greenwood's contract requires a conviction for termination.
yea, i was reading that. on one hand, it seems appropriate to protect workers contracts from dubious legal claims. it is also hard to swallow when there is obvious wrong doing, yet nothing can be done. its probably better to err on side of the former.Aston94 said:Furlock Bones said:definitely money just like the Chris Beard situation.

So there's a significant chance Liverpool gets bought by Nephew Jerry Don Qatar and United gets bought by Nephew Jethro Qatar, who are both completely different and independent from Cousin Billy Bob Qatar who owns PSG.
Seems like a good system. Can't see any problems arising at all.

McTominay, Martial, and Antony are out for tomorrow's game. Dalot made the bench against Palace but didn't see any minutes. Would be surprised if he started. But if everything is going well, I could see him coming on in the 60th as a planned sub...starting in the away game this weekend.
Does ETH go Fred and Sabitzer in the middle and pray to the gods above? Can he get anything close to 90 minutes from Sabitzer even if that makeshift pairing manages to not look completely overwhelmed defensively?
Sancho in for Antony? Elanga? With the form he is in, you gotta keep Rashford playing on the left but none of the options on the right seem to fit with ETH's preferred tactics.
It is indeed Fred and Sabitzer (Freditzer? SabiFred?) in the middle but Garnacho gets the start...presumably on the right. Would be nice if he could excel there.
Both Sancho and AWB got sick. Sancho is well enough to make the bench (and sounds like he would have started if he was completely well). AWB didn't even make the bench. Let's hope Dalot's hammy holds up.
1 ****ing minute
And the FU Marsch regime took 55 seconds to come to fruition.
They came out with their hair on fire for sure. Really really really wish they waited to fire Marsch
Leeds has always had attacking talent but their finishing has been suspect. Not today apparently.
Lucky to not be down 2 already. Bruno having a terrible first 10 minutes
Garnacho has to score there. Brutal
This game screams Rashford masterclass.

Really not liking moving Rashford to accommodate Garnacho. Why move your in form player out of his position? Doesn't help that Garnacho has struggled mightily the first 20 minutes but still.
JFC y'all are in luck because Leeds can't complete more than 3 passes without an unforced turnover.
They're as bad as my daughter high school team.

How many open nets wlil Garnacho miss?
Radio guys ripping Garnacho for diving.
Absolutely hate that we swapped Rashford to the RW instead of just playing Garnacho there. Completely unnecessary
McKennie pretty close to a yellow for persistent infringement. He's been out of control a few times already
Our midfield is an existential thought experiment
It was pretty clearly a dive.
Massive and multiple dark arts by Martinez.. He raked Banford twice.

Just feels like one of those games where we dominate everywhere but the scoreline. Always happens when we give up an early goal
Why are Many and Leeds playing back to back matches?
Makeup from the funeral?

None of the Leeds tactics have changed. Its just high press and controlled chaos. And hope you dont give up horrible goals. The difference is its worked.
