Michael Knighton preparing a hostile bid to remove the Glazers
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Would this bid add pressure to the Glazers and make them consider their future with United or will it just lead to a few chuckles from the Glazer family? And everything goes back to normal shortly after
Just looking at his smug face on Sunday is enough to tip me over the edge, those yankee leeches aren't getting any more money out of me because they have destroyed us.
£240million in today's value.
1989, not 1889.
Amber Heard all over this
From Elon musk to Johnny Depp to Michael feckin Knighton?
Anyway Knighton won't last a night with her
Whatever about this guy who by all accounts appears to be a charlatan, what I will say is that I was really encouraged by the amount of people who were lining up to buy Chelsea.
At one point I thought that for us to be saved it would literally have to be the Saudi's or no one. The only thing giving me comfort is knowing with a reasonable degree of certainty that that isn't true. I think when the opportunity to buy the club arises, a good amount of credible people will come out of the woodwork.
I just hope it's soon.

You know this is a nothing story when the journalists haven't even picked up on it. Not even the comic books are reporting it.
For real buyers to come out, Glazers would need to put the club on Sale. At the movement club isn't officially for Sale and any bid is hostile bid and very few investors wants to go through that route. But as Gary Neville pointed, it is time to sell. Club requires huge investment in infrastructure and player recruitment, and with dwindling share prices, unhappy fanbase with owner and abysmal performances on the pitch, there is very little hope that Glazers are willing to invest in the future of the club and as soon as they run out milk to squeeze out of United, they will sell. But by the time United would be Aston Villa level.
Can't take this guy serious. Says he's about to make an offer but still needs Ratcliffe.
The fans need to put in an offer to buy the club, or at least back an individual/consortium to do so.

Feels a bit like Ronaldo demanding CL football with no team lined up
The guy who interviews him on the religion looks like a glazer lover child. The whole thing is attention seeking and amateurish.

Does this bloke have enough money though?
No.
Of course he doesn't. As if the former owner of Carlisle United that also ran them into the ground would have enough money or clout to buy Manchester United. Spoofer.
Well that's a blast from the past.
Sadly don't see the Glazers leaving anytime soon. Worst fecking owners around.

He must've improved his kick-ups and wants to show us is the only reason why he is saying he wants to buy Manchester United.
Not even close. He's not to be taken seriously.

No…. No…… Need more lemon pledge.
Stalking horse, testing the water for someone else. Could be the beginning of the end of the Glazers, their lack of investment this summer would make you believe they have already made their minds up.
Some of the younger ones in our fanbase are getting overly excited by this "news" on social media.
This is nothing and will lead nowhere. I'm not even sure I'd take him over the Glazers

Didnt have enough money in 1989.
To be fair to Knighton, he isn't saying he has the money. He's the guy to bring the people together, who do have the money, to bid for the club.
I believe once there is a viable option the fans can see, then they will get behind the Glazers out movement more.

Yeah that first paragraph is probably true
The only time he ever owned a club he made himself the manager and tanked them. The very definition of a terrible owner come to life and can't afford us. Uses our name for attention more than football agents.
I think people who do have that kind of money won't let him through the door. They use other and better channels for these kinds of multibillion deals to come through.
What's the hostile part about this bid as mentioned in the headline? Doesn't Glazers control majority of the shares that matter (over 50%)?
He means he is bidding for something that is not technically for sale. I think you might be thinking of a "hostile takeover".
That's confusing - where's the hostility at?! Will he yell the bid in an angry manner?
"TWENTY POUUUUUNDS, GOOD SIR!!!!"
Fans have begun tearing down their other businesses and sponsors with bad reviews. Hilarious stuff.
Seems like he is the biggest evidence that wealth is never tied to actual smarts.
If he has 20 quid maybe.
Knighton was a bullshitter back in '89/'90 and he is a bullshitter now. Ratcliffe is the man to watch.
Selling this club to the wrong owner would be disastrous, rather than fixing the management. Have your faith.
Chelsea sold for £2.5 billion. Doubt glaziers would sell for less than £3bn and this guy is worth 7 million.
I’ve got 50p, feck you. Bastard.
