UEFA will allow Qatari investment in Man United despite Paris Saint Germain ownership

A bid from Qatar for Manchester United is probably to be received by UEFA, confirming a new report.

The club has been put up for sale by the present maturity shareholders, the Glazer family, with a price tag of around $5 billion.

This limits the list of possible bidders to a very little elite.

Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), a subsidiary of the sovereign investment fund, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), already owns Paris Saint Germain, making a full takeover of United a conflict of interest that UEFA would be unlikely to endorse.

However, another group within Qatar has been linked with curiosity and despite the fact that they, too, would eventually have Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani as their conclusive head, UEFA will “give Qatar the green light” to their proprietorship of the club, The Daily Mail asserts.

The Mail quotes UEFA rules which state that “no club cooperates in UEFA club contentions may….hold or deal safety or shares in any other club participating’ or ‘be implicated in any position whatsoever in the management direction and/or sporting concert of any other club cooperating.”

However, “UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body, which adjusts rivalry, is likely to rule the dual partnership is legalized as long as Sheikh Tamim is a representative, hands-off figure and the two teams have discrete supervision and distinct business structures, which do not collude.”

The report cites the condition with Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig, which UEFA ruled were governed in a way where there was not a “decisive blow.” on one by the other.

“They also stated that clubs should only be barred if ‘decisive influence’ connected to matters ‘that upset the concert of a club in a contention and not simply common commercial, commercial, financial or other business activities, which do not instantly assume sporting show,’”, The Mail added.

British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company INEOS has also stated its purpose to bid but the Qatari syndicate is anticipated to outbid them, with reports proposing Ratcliffe will not outstrip $4 billion.

INEOS, too, would have to satisfy UEFA that there was no “decisive influence” between OG Nice, also owned by the company, and United if their takeover bid was to be successful.

Bids must be capitulated for the club by Friday, with a Saudi Arabian stockholder and up to three US entities also set to enter the wear.

Ziyech has improved, but rebuild means he has to go

Hakim Ziyech to permit Chelsea this window, and for me, it should not even be a dispute. We have just signed three strikers in the shape of Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, and Noni Madueke. Our squad is now bloated, exceptionally in the attack. We cannot roster them all currently in our Champions League squad, a player or two needs to be immolated (not physically). We are also probably signing 1/2 more players this window. Until the World Cup, I think lovely much every Chelsea fan would have told yes to selling Ziyech, including the player himself (still believe he wants to leave now). But now, I’ve seen calm a few interrogating it off the back of a good World Cup and a few satisfactory games for Chelsea. He’s been great in spells, granted, but the inconsistencies are still clear to me. We cannot sell Christian Pulisic this month because he has a long-term scratch and no club will buy him. So it has to be Ziyech I’m nervous. As I’ve said, I totally  treasure what he does bring, and wh...

Erik ten Hag’s tactical genius brings Man United victory against Leeds United

Erik ten Hag masterminded an improbable Manchester United win at Elland Road this afternoon later a wound-ravaged side looked to be heading for a stalemate against a brave Yorkshire team buoyed by the combative crowd. United was without Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, and Anthony Martial for the risky stumble over the Pennines. By the hour mark, Leeds looked the most probable to take the three points. With Jadon Sancho looking to be the star most probable to turn it around for United and center-onward Wout Weghorst looking lost, Ten Hag’s double change in the 61st minute changed the course of the sport. Sancho was replaced by juvenile Alejandro Garnacho, who has been disheartening in the last couple of games, while Tyrell Malacia was changed by Lisandro Martinez, pushing Luke Shaw back out to left back. To many fans’ astonishment, Weghorst stayed on. Garnacho replaced Marcus Rashford on the left pinion, who moved up front. Bruno Fernandes moved ...

Chelsea’s change of shape in-game is key

Chelsea beat Bournemouth 2-0 on Tuesday evening in their first game back later the World Cup interrupt. It was a much-needed win and a clean sheet after stumbling form and poor performances before the break. There was one key element for me that I noticed that really helped Chelsea get the edge over Bournemouth and make it a pretty straightforward game for them in the end, and that was the in-game exchange of shape. We are starting to see elements come into our play that has clearly been implemented by Graham Potter and his team, and the shape is one of them. I also incorporated about four moves in the first half that Chelsea made that were quick one-touch passing that set us up for a savage within seconds. We have rarely seen this at Chelsea in recent seasons, with our possession play often being too slow and too labored. It was  invigorating to see some quick fluctuation and players also taking on those hard and riskier passes; that is what we need to be seeing much more, worryin...
