The Qatari bidder for Manchester United, Sheikh Jassim, dropped out of the race to buy the club after failing to prove he had sufficient finance to be able to do a deal.

1. Fictional character. Yet you had all these online Manchester United fans calling for him to take over. Ratclife already putting his money where his mouth is.

2. This is the funniest reason possible

3. Shove that up your arse you oil supporting fucks who were clamouring for him

4. Shocked, simply shocked, I tell you. 

5. Where are the accounts that were jerking off to the “oil money” last fall? I just want to laugh at you.

6. United are basically a soap at this point.

7. Some media outlets were desperate for Sheikh Jassim to take over at United. The amount of endless articles sites like Sky Sports ran was ridiculous. It’s laughable looking back at it now.

8. United are broke ballers anyway. 1.5 billi in debt

9. Only United would find the one broke Sheikh.

10. I would say, “finally a good United decision”, but they didn’t have any input.

11. Mark Goldbridge in shambles

12. He couldn’t show how much blood money he has stashed away in Swiss bank accounts.

13. Do we know for sure the guy existed at this point?

14. Good. Now do Everton’s crack dealer 777 partners

15. Why don’t they just get a loan and leverage it against the club. No, they’d never let something like that happen.

16. He was just a plant of the Glazers to drive up the price so SJR and Ineos could only afford a 25% stake rather than a full takeover

17. I don’t know what to believe so I throw my hands up. All I can do is actually hope that SJR improves the club before he dies
