"Manchester City Chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak is a senior government official and the nominal owner, Sheikh Mansour Al-Nahyan is Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE and the brother of the President Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan."

You cannot honestly talk about 115 charges and in the same breath be advocating for state ownership of Manchester United with Qatar flags. You cannot both criticise and then advocate for the very thing we would become.

Well, well. Human rights abuses continue to be commonplace in Qatar. Those who continue to prioritise Manchester United making more marquee signings over what really matters won't care, presumably. inews.co.uk/sport/football…

This is great and took me right back to those few minutes on that night in Camp Nou ( or the Nou Camp as we referred to it at the time😉).

Never forget. This man asked people to vote on #Brexit. Without defining what Brexit meant. Without carrying out any projections of consequences. All in an (unsuccessful) attempt to settle an internal Tory party feud. He then knighted all his mates and f***ed off into the sunset.

Absolutely, but the Saudis have already been allowed to take over our club, UAE control Man City, and Qatar want to control Man United. We have to stop states controlling our clubs!

"His Excellency" Hang on. Aren't you lads claiming its not a state bid? Howay to bend the knee to a guy who was instrumental in the 2017 purge that involved "torture, coercion and the expropriation of billions in assets into Saudi coffers"

This is the most senior elected official in Greater Manchester defending an authoritarian state + it’s sport washing project because of… “What they do to improve life here” Extraordinary. Try telling me the city has not been captured by Abu Dhabi

So wait. City paid an intermediary to facilitate off book payments from one state run company to another state run company? And lied about it over and over. Wholesome stuff all round.

What I like about that Adam Yates 1st win at #TDF2023 is that years ago when he was on the way to a stage win the inflatable kilometre to go barrier collapsed on him!

The PPE cover-up. New evidence suggests Douglas Barrowman hid the ownership of a company that received £200m in PPE contracts and is now being investigated for fraud. A thread:
