You must know them very well if you're fully aware of their personal finances.Their debt? They don't have any

His answer "Hey guys, never mind that, I'm actually sat here with our newest recruit Jason Sancho, who I believe will be a great addition to the left attacker forward role"First question should be - "why has it taken you so long?"
I think it’s fair to assume we over negotiate and that is even less likely to get the price down in any given window. Given the amounts we will have saved on players after the marathon sagas - Sancho- 10/20 million?, Maguire- nothing pretty much, his price went up if anything, Bruno- about 5 million. For those figures wouldn’t we have just been better off to pay up and have a season extra from a great player and a much more stable club in general? If we’d got Sancho last summer we wouldn’t have to bow out of the race for Kane. Our bargaining tactics set us behind and slow the rebuild down to a walking pace and save us about the same amount of money we pay numerous deadwood players each year to not play for usAre you serious? Of course we gonna negotiate the price on a player. There are no fixed prices in football (if not concrete release fees).Woody would not do his job if he did not negotiate and try getting us the best deal possible.
Cheers.The quotes will be on the website I think and it will be covered by all the United journos like Simon Stone, Luckhurst etc.
Tasty.
Your reply suggested they have personal responsibility for the clubs debt. Sorry if I read that wrong.You must know them very well if you're fully aware of their personal finances.

Or...First question should be - "why has it taken you so long?"
It’s the deals there and then but it’s also a precedent for further negotiations. If we just payed a fixed price from the selling club the price would just move up and up. A player is only worth the amount the market wants to pay. Last year Dortmund stuck to their price as the incentive to sell was not there (don’t know why). This year they have huge losses, want to keep Haaland and also have a gentleman agreement with the player. He will be allowed to go and they will negotiate with us.I think it’s fair to assume we over negotiate and that is even less likely to get the price down in any given window.

American's don't generally do well buying bridges from the UK tbh.Anyone expecting anything with any substance - I've got a bridge to sell you.
Will be a load of guff to appease an increasingly angry and frustrated fan-base. All talk, no action as usual.
“Big day tomorrow”
Well as long as your asking something, can I ask you to assuage my fears that he's contaminating the club in a matter that may one day render it unsustainable?"Mr Glazer, your ownership seems to have the popularity of a runaway freight train. Why are you so unpopular?"
So it’s the 5th now?Big day tomorrow
Sorry edited itSo it’s the 5th now?
I love soccerball as much as any spectator."I played Fußball once, it was great fun"
If you think this is a given, I'd perhaps manage your expectations a little pal.Put it this way, If Joel Glazer isn’t prepared to go out and sign Harry Kane and anyone else that’s nailed on world class this summer, after all that’s gone on, he’s basically never really going to give us that kind of summer unless we fall out of the CL again maybe. We will get Sancho and that’ll be the main transfer and that’s fair enough but we are making a meal out of this rebuild. Liquidate the squad that doesn’t get used. It’s a lot of money. I’m intrigued to see what Murtough and fletcher have come up with and hope Joel doesn’t mess up their plans or stall their negotiations. I hope to see us keep cutting players.
The stadium is a deal breaker
Fans need to take some power back and the glazers eventually need to reduce the debt. It’s a perfect marriage of interests. Glazers hopefully let something like this happen but I’m not holding my breath.
It’s just going to be generic apologies and vague promises while they hope things die down.
"Bunch of internet fans who never go to games, yet think they're experts on everything"Rumour is he said feck Redcafe.
For these sagas to regularly go on so long it feels to me like we must be going in quite a bit lower than market value and then very slowly eking our way back up to a more realistic valuation but by then it’s too late for the selling club to replace the outgoing player so we wait till next year…It’s the deals there and then but it’s also a precedent for further negotiations.

I just can’t believe people think it’s a smart idea to buy a player for a fixed sum. All big transfers are negotiated one way or another. Especially in the middle of a pandemic.
Yes because those match-going lads are so well-respected by the Glazers and they make sure they are taken care of when they attend games with free organic showers and no distractions, such as WiFi."Bunch of internet fans who never go to games, yet think they're experts on everything"
will definitely not be a soundbite of the unoffical minutes.
I’ll bet you a tenner we get him this summerIf you think this is a given, I'd perhaps manage your expectations a little pal.

Clearly, as it stands, the club are responsible for their debt, which is why I hope this subject is clearly talked about today.
Great reference"Mr Glazer, your ownership seems to have the popularity of a runaway freight train. Why are you so unpopular?"
And the fans will smile and cheer him and Sancho on.His answer "Hey guys, never mind that, I'm actually sat here with our newest recruit Jason Sancho, who I believe will be a great addition to the left attacker forward role"
I doubt he's even heard of RedCafe.Rumour is he said feck Redcafe.
Howson this morning said 12pm. Should be happening right now if correct.What time is this starting?
Argh! I’m nervous for the fans and the quotes/outcome.Howson this morning said 12pm. Should be happening right now if correct.
The meeting notes are released months later, so you'll be in for a wait.Argh! I’m nervous for the fans and the quotes/outcome.
I’m hopeful the gist of the meeting will be out in the public domain by this evening this time around.The meeting notes are released months later, so you'll be in for a wait.
Though maybe they'll make an exception for this one as it is so high profile and will come under increased pressure to release them early.
No one wants to see that. It worked in GoT because Cersei was hot. Joel, not so much, unless you're into that.I’m hopeful the gist of the meeting will be out in the public domain by this evening this time around.
If he doesn’t make concessions the fans should pull a game of thrones on Joel and make him walk through the streets on Manchester naked and apologising
hahaa no, it would be like watching 3 balls and some legs walking down the road. I’d pay 120 million to not have to see that. See there is value in the market after all.No one wants to see that. It worked in GoT because Cersei was hot. Joel, not so much, unless you're into that.
