Are you, a man who supports a club who has an “Official Leisure Headwear Partner of Manchester United” just now discovering the principal of brand cachet?

I mean I'm aware that "boring generic poo poo with SUPREME written on it" is something people are literally killing each other over, but I'm surprised
Lingard thinks JLINGZ works the same way. But maybe I shouldn't be.

E: and I'll have you know the Official Leisure Headwear Partner Merchandise(tm) for Manchester United PLC is not cheap tat but merchandise of the highest quality manufactured by the good people of *checks papers* New Era.

If you missed this, affable Real Madrid malcontent Gareth Bale gave an interview to the Daily Telegraph this week, in which he revealed: “I don’t even know who the prime minister is any more. I haven’t got a clue.”

A bunch of journos on Twitter running the story that Smalling's loan deal is being made permanent for around 15 million. Whether that is euros or pounds, opinions are conflicted.

I guess he's doing OK in Italy then.

He scored a goal last week and actually looked quite good stats-wise (not so much on the pitch imo), but Roma fans seem to be happy about it.

The news (or wild rumours) keep coming. Some Saudi guy who is apparently connected to their government somehow announced on LinkedIn that a group of Saudi investors purchased Manchester United yesterday, and it will be announced officially by the club shortly.



There's been rumours that a group of Saudi investors (the House of Saud, really) were trying to buy United for a while now so this isn't coming completely out of the blue, but I still don't buy it, unless the guy means "an agreement was reached yesterday and will be ratified shortly" because I would imagine this is something the Glazers and the Club would have to announce to shareholders immediately, not in a day or two.

But why would a guy make this up with his own name attached to it?

E: to clarify: "connected to the government" == the head of PR for the Royal Princess of the House of Saud. So I guess he would know, and I'm at a loss as to why he'd make it up.

Some people on Twitter now saying that nothing has been filed with the SEC which would make the whole thing "someone's going to federal jail" level illegal, even if it was a "they agreed a deal which will be ratified and finalized in the coming days" type of thing.

Ie. bullshit, but I can't figure out why the gently caress some guy on that level would just make poo poo up on his public, job-related Linkedin page.
