Or how attractive their supporters are.
If what the rumours are true then ya that was the issue. They wanted a majority stake. Fsg wanted a full sale or a minority stake sale. It hadn't progressed to anything serious apart from initial enquiries but there have been no serious offers as of yet in either a full sale or a minority share
This - so this.
I still maintain that if the EPL want to make the comp anything more than a spending arms race, they they have to fuck City up on their spending and make sure no-one else can do the same.
Otherwise the game is truly dead as a sport.
Its always been about who spends the most, the only time it gets undone is when the players dont wantbtonplay for thier manager and thats why you have to give credit to Pep G.
In the 80's we were a big spender in the league. Nothing has actually changed ... Nothing...its just that certain owners are the mega rich and not your less than a billionaire type
Yes - but there was a time in the 80’s where there were a multitude of clubs who could attract good players and pay big salaries and fees.
The record British transfer fees in the 80s went TO British clubs from European clubs.
In the 70s, Wolves, Forest, City & Utd all held the record.
Obviously the ban from Europe played a part but Everton, Arsenal, Utd, Villa, Forrest, Spurs, City, us and more could all compete for players - Even Glasgow Rangers we’re signing top talent from England in the 80’s.
It’s about scale - there has to be a way where one team can’t comprehensively outspend the rest - whether it be spending caps on fees or salary caps or both.

Glad I’m not the only one who’s repelled by the prospect.
I don't want to be own by a state and especially one that is using us as a sports washing club but what happens if utd get taken over by qataris? We already struggle to compete with them in transfer fees or wages they offer so imagine a utd with a basically unlimited budget...
The only way seems to be some sort of wage/transfer cap

Looks like FSG are not going anywhere!
So why did they relieve Mike Gordon of his Liverpool duties to only "test the water"?

And Broughton - who as chairman of the club sold the Reds to FSG in 2010 - revealed the ownership's objectives after he talked to current Liverpool and FSG chairman Tom Werner.
'I spoke to Tom Werner and asked him were they seeking to sell,' he told the Liverpool ECHO.
'Were they seeking investment? What was the objective? And he said: 'There isn't one. We're testing the water. If there is an offer that is a very high figure then we'd be daft not to look at it.'
'If there is an investor that wants to come, we'd certainly be willing to look at that and we wouldn't be at all surprised if we didn't get either and we continued to hold it. We're comfortable with that too. So it wasn't that we have got an exit plan, it was more that testing the markets to see what is out there.'

Stevie, you have posted, what I consider to be, the single worst spelt, punctuated, "garammared" and "languaged" sentence SCM has ever seen.
City? Buehly (or whatever his name is) seems determined to pass their 5 year spending within 1 year! Neymar next up.
So the club isn't up for sale. Lol
I think he's either been hacked, or he's pissed...maybe both. There was a post from him in another thread that equally as bad, if not even worse
As much as I’d like to take all the credit, I’m going to have to thank my iPhone auto correct for its assistance in achieving this honour - I couldn’t have done it without you.
This is a team effort.
I fixed it for you @tombrown
Curse my fat fingers!!!
Although, to be fair, I now realise that I should not be putting a ‘ before the s in 70s - I did not know that - so thank you grammar Nazi - I have learned something new.
The rest I’m blaming autocorrect and fat fingers for - even the extra “f” in forest.

Enough to obtain a merit for your rework. However, I may be wrong, but I think the comma after 70s is misplaced:
I may need to defer that matter to a higher authority ... maybe JJ can comment.
EDIT: the space in the quoted text above before the highlighted comma, was created by the highlighter and I cannot get rid of it. It looks 10 times worse than the original, alleged, error.

I sometimes use commas to represent a pause if I were saying it - so for me it would be “in the 70s” <pause> “blah blah blah”.
That’s probs just weird, not grammatically correct and something that goes on in my weird head…
Qatari bid for utd is now official...
I’d hate to be with you in the bunkers.
Behave.
Indeed, and those missguided on here about all the moral bollox regarding arab ownership can celebrate in their own piss when we lose to those clubs. Newcastle have not even started to spend FSG greed has screwed us right up.
