Joel, Jim & Jassim - Utd Ownership

well, the local populace kicked off to the golf course owners yesterday afternoon when the story broke. Apparently there were talks but they were miles apart on valuation (typical Man Utd!) and the course is close to being sold to another golfing organisation.

It's a standard Daily Mail article trying to find outrage where there isn't any.

Its in every major paper and a lot of sites, wasn't isolated to Daily Mail.
 
It's a nothing story and it's certainly not going to "bring all sorts to the area".

There might be a few people who come to watch them train and a few journalists. Most of the staff working there will have to travel in from less affluent areas.

It's typical NIMBY ****.

Jassim allegedly taking legal advice after claims he didn’t provide proof of funds when bidding for Unite.

Not sure what Jassim can expect if claims are proven to be in error.

Sounds more like sloppy seconds than anything else.

Why would we want someone who has been involved with basically cheating?

I assume because he is good at what he does. Not gonna lie, my moral yardstick for what bothers me when it comes to United and football in general sits a way away from this.

I'm sure we wouldn't hire someone who was about to get massively caught up in City's cheating scandal either. We wouldn't would we? :p

We 110% would

No agreement has been reached for the 52-year-old to embark upon the potential switch and any move for him will not be straightforward, given he is contracted to Newcastle.

However, the situation is expected to develop rapidly, with Ashworth thought to be open to the opportunity of joining the Manchester United football structure under INEOS.

This would be great. Wasn't sure it would happen, still might not...
