The Boeing 737Max Arena would probably go down quite well.

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

As the LS is a great big advertising space on the flightpath into LHR it is amazing that the stadium rights haven't been snapped up and a huge company logo swathed over the roof... would like to hope it wouldn't get planning permission but any excuse to fuck up the skyline.

Personally would absolutely hate us playing at 'Gulf Airways Stadium'.

Oxbore you're the OAP sicko who travels out to poverty sicken countries via the Arab Airlines
I can stand Arabs and never ever use their Airlines
How is the mud hut retirement home coming along in the poverty stricken village near the Cambodian border?
Fucking fat creep

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

If we nail a straight 4th season in Europe I'd put my house...OK, YOUR house... on an Arabic airline becoming our stadium sponsor.

Not because that's where people want to fly to, but where people are quite happy to fly through.

I must confess I prefer a mid-journey stop to get off the plane, walk about a bit, stretch my legs and sit in a bar with a beer, rather than an unbroken 14/15 hours inside a metal sanitary towel container.

For me, and, say, people who like to go and fuck under-age cripples in SE Asia, it's a pretty good option.

Who's left after Etihad and Emirates?

Yeah, I'd hate for us to be buying players like Haaland, and winning the league, FA cups and champions league, and having state of the art training facilities.

Much better in what we're doing now....

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

Bexley nah mate l don't think our or other leagues will be feeder clubs for Arab league,seems most of players over there are older and end of their careers plus many seem to hate it there.
But agree with your last sentence no way l want Arabs owing us

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

Looking past the money at the bigger picture, the Arabs are making a play to take elite football / sport over there. What better way to do that than own all of the top clubs in Europe? We're already seeing players going over there on ridiculous contracts. Give it 10 years and the likes of City, PSG and Newcastle will be feeder clubs for their leagues. Everyone is blinded by the money that comes with being owned by a Saudi Prince. No one questions why someone with zero interest in anything outside camel racing wants to be such a big player in Football, golf etc. I don't think they want to own clubs, they want to own the sport.

Fuck being owned by Arabs.

Di Canio said he supported Lazio and West Ham rather than Roma or a top 4 PL side for the suffering

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

Jim Ratcliff would be better.

In all seriousness do we really want to have unlimited funds and be like Man City.

I think that part of the joy of supporting West Ham is the misery interspersed with moments joy. Don't you think it would become boring to expect to win every game and to become dejected by only finishing second in the league... obviously it would take a while to catch up with Man City and the first few years would be enjoyable... after that I suspect that the fun might begin to wane.

Anyway, I don't suppose it will happen.

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

There would be complete meltdown from the Jewish community if Arabs bought West Ham or Spurs. It won't happen although I can see them buying the London Stadium at some point.
They could then put their own team in it.

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

I assume that they feel they've recently found something that gives them a "better" return on their money.

Marty- nothings cheap but we have cheaper tickets compared to that north and west London lot.

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

No Thanks, I'd rather be owned by British porn merchants than corrupt oil rich terrorist supporting arabs who behave like the rest of the world used to in the middle ages.

Re: Qataris pull out from buying ManU

I doubt if the tickets will get cheaper. Suspect it will be the complete opposite. It's the biggest myth in football now that west hams tickets are cheap . 10 .000 are priced correctly for youngsters and pensioners . But the others are way overpriced my nephew last Xmas against Brentford paid £55 for his ticket and £30 for his 12 year old boy . Given they live in Clacton it must have been close on £200 weighed out overall . When I first saw my 1st west ham game in September 86 I paid £2 . Different world then .
