Value means nothing unless he is looking to sell and you are completely ignoring the money he spent to prop them up in transfer window. Pretty sure he's loaned them a lot of money without chelsea having to repay him a dime.
The Saudi Royal family have an estimated fortune of $1.4 TRILLION..!!!!
A deal to buy a prestigious club such as Manchester United at whatever price the Glazers want will be no obstacle to them whatsoever.
If the Saudis want to own this club, then they will, as the Glazer's will cave in at some point.
He could go the Glazer way of borrowing money using his Chelsea shares as collateral.
Is this really happening? (I can't read 45 pages, ffs)
Probably not.
From the little Arabic I remember I think it reads “it’s on!”
Yeah that is a good example.
Reselling on a premium is a viable option for the Saudis, but again depends on their angle of investment and long term ideas.
No doubt there will have to be a huge investment in the team, but that goes for the Saudis as well. If they are to buy it outright they still have to pour between 500m to a bn to get us back in shape if they follow the City model(probably will).
I disagree that the asset is declining, and that being a prime note for them to force a sell. Their other sporting asset is on a wane for quite a while now and they haven't entertained selling it yet.
I'm probably inclined to agree on the bolded part considering the latest Kevin's stock shares conversions and that there has been movement in that respect, but we're yet to see something substantial yet.
But if you look at it, United as a brand is batting above its station. For as small a topline revenue it generates, its has pretty high visibility -- week in, week out.
I am sure those in power will see it as under-valued especially those who need positive publicity.

The crazy thing is that $400m Davinci painting has been proven to be fake as well. He seems like he couldn't care less. Bottomless pit of money!
Really? Wow, I didn't know that. Crazy.
Exactly. Will be interesting to see what happens. Personally I'm not expecting any official confirmation any time soon but something seems like it is happening!
"Nos Vemos en Manchester"
But the visibility doesn't generate that much money for the owners. United visibility is great for third parties like broadcasters and manufacturers that purchase advertisement spaces linked to United, that's where the brand's worth goes. And these people actually make a lot more money than the owners on the back of United. The reason for that is that football and sport in general are labour heavy and labour cost a lot of money.
The point about the asset being in decline has to do with the consequences for the owners such as the need for massive investment in the playing staff, paying off the current manager and possibly paying for a new manager and after all that it's not even certain that it will work as the last six years attest. Their other sporting asset won't bring in as much money as this one would whilst the fallout from that franchise's decline won't bring as much bad press and criticism as this one. Factor in all these in the context of an enticing offer, which could be the last time they get such an offer as the Saudis are most probably the only ones to countenance paying an outrageous amount for the club then you have a near perfect storm for a sale.
Latest News: Aramco to buy Sky.
This is not the thread for it, but why come on and post random speculation when it’s so easy look up. According to Forbes, the overall loss Abramovich has made at Chelsea is 672 million and the club is now posting profits so that is reducing. According to the Times he put the price of the club at 2.5 billion and Forbes values it as 2 billion, given that he spent 140 million to buy it, even if he sold at 2 billion he makes approx 1.2 billion quid.
And value means everything when you own a business, it is an asset and it’s an asset that accumulating all the time. Do your research!
62 minutes to go boys. Else we can lock thread.

Not to be pedantic, but this is actually Levantine Arabic (more specifically Aleppo from the use of the phrase bjəktob).
What he actually said was 'Done Dealio'.
"Hello. I am the New York Stock Exchange, and
I announce that some blokes have bought United."
Share price is rising
Guys, I don't really understand why you don't want this owner ?
Because they are morally not correct ?
They are not correct for the English perspective, but from their perspective, they are fine no ?
I mean, do you all think that the Glazers are better in terms of ethic ? Probably as dirty as every billionaires in this world.
We can let them buy the club (if they do), we can judge them with their choices, if they put money on Old Trafford, on Carrington, on youth, and of course the first team.
It's the same thing here in France. The PSG owners are always contested because of their origins.
So guys, if they put money on my club, if they invest correctly I would be happy with every owners.

Christ on a fecking bike
Can the Saudis afford to buy ole's beloved longstaff??
So he'll make a fortune if he sells, that's not the same as having made a fortune already. Unlike the Glazers, he's also pumped a lot of money into that club.
'F*ck's sake in Arabic.
I know write. The mental gymnastics some perform around here with the prospect of this happening are disturbing.
Some social media reporter for Saudi/Kuwait. I think he just reports on gossips
Brazzers might be interested if they're not.
So a nobody
Amazing how far a thread can go on absolutely nothing.
Fair point on those of course and is a risk when you are dealing with such a high profile brand. Of course in 5 years time you need to invest during the process. Stocks might go up, might go down, but the ROI would probably be higher considering broadcasting rights soaring every year and tapping up other markets.
If the Glazers consolidate after Kevin selling off, IMO would be better for them to wait and not sell at this time, despite holding a risk whether their investment in the process would either work or not.
Last time I checked the Glazers don’t sponsor terrorism and carry out a literal genocide this very moment.
Moral relativism doesn’t work with the House of Sauds.
I hope that JLINGZ buys United.
