Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has withdrawn from the process to buy Manchester United. He, like the rest of us has given up on dealing with the Glazers and has walked away.

I see a lot of comments saying this is a disaster and the end for Man Utd, but if that is true it was over for us long ago if being bought by some Oil Giants from the Middle East was our only hope.

Good. Take your nasty sports washing money elsewhere.

We have to accept that the Glaziers won't leave until they have leached every last penny from the club and left it as a hollow husk. Whoever they sell it to is going to have to start from scratch to repair the decades of damage and build the club back up from the remains.

We will have to be patient with who ever that is that takes over. If that ever happens.

I didn’t realize the team was for sale.
