BBC記者Simon Stone:因為歐洲足協條例,同一個資金來源唔可以擁有兩間球會,所以QSI(擁有PSG嘅基金)唔可以收購曼聯。
QSI無意出售PSG,所以卡塔爾會利用另外一個基金QIA(Qatar Investment Authority,依個基金係卡塔爾海外投資平台)去收購曼聯。雖然QSI唔可以參與收購曼聯一事,但QSI領頭人納賽爾(Nasser al-Khelaifi,亦即係PSG主席)係是次收購可能會有好大作用。納賽爾依家係歐洲球會協會主席,亦都同歐洲足協有密切關係,所以納賽爾點都會牽涉收購曼聯一事。
由於曼聯同PSG唔係同一聯賽球會,所以唔需要歐洲足協修改條例去批准依單交易,只要歐洲足協執委會通過就可以成事。
What would a Qatari bid look like?
A final round of bidding was initially planned for March by the US-based Raine Group, which has been put in charge of finding new owners or investors.
Paris St-Germain president Nasser al-Khelaifi is set to be a key figure in any Qatari ownership bid, even if he could have no direct involvement in the club.
Qatar Sports Investment (QSI), headed by Al-Khelaifi, had been looking at the potential for taking a smaller stake in a Premier League club, which would be allowed under Uefa rules that prevent multi-club ownership. QSI already has a minority stake in Portuguese side Braga.
However, given QSI's ownership of PSG, which it has no interest in selling, any Qatari move to buy United in its entirety would have to come through private individuals or a different organisation.
This could potentially be the Qatar Investment Authority - a global investment platform that includes London department store Harrods and the UK's largest building the Shard in its portfolio.
Even that may require European governing body Uefa to change its rules on dual ownership, given it is felt by many that all Qatari funds are distributed from a central source.
Al-Khelaifi could therefore be key in helping any bid proceed.
