Get the Dubai guys on the phone. 6 billion is hefty not sure we can really expect a total sale if that number is right
Fecking hell muskets everywhere.
Hearing Ronaldo is buying the club
Don't think that matters for the super wealthy, many tend to get even richer.

I heard he's fond of right wingers, the left drift out too far for his liking
I can see there being interest from China And India as well. Some of the firm's and billionaires.
Count me in. I'm used to the ABU siege mentality anyways.
Oh my god its happening!
I’ll take Americans as long as it isn’t leveraged again. The debt needs to go.
they must be pretty desperate if they’re going public
my guess is Liverpool announcing it spooked them
not too many potential buyers so Liverpool selling is significant

£6 billion, no chance.
Even though being owned by oil bastards wouldn't be ideal, they're far more likely to properly invest in the team than Americans. Getting Glazers v2 scares me.
Anybody that can seriously afford to buy this club isn't going to be a great person/people.

With the state of the stadium and training complex, 6b is a push, it needs to be a discount price knowing they will have to spend a lot from the get go
Leveraged buyouts were forbidden in the PL after our takeover

Sky just wrote an article; Manchester United: How “Scavenger” Glazers bought club - and left Old Trafford rotting in a mess.
They are not hedging anymore, seems like they believe this is the endgame. Doubt they’ve ever written anything so blunt before out of fear of having their footie journalist banned from pressers.

Didn't Burnley get bought that way recently though?
didnt it just happen to Burnley?
On like donkey kong
What a rat
Saudis are the worst of the bunch, but they've got Newcastle.
A Dubai-based ownership wouldn't be everyone's idea of an ethical ownership, but they're not as bad as the journalist murderers, and nor would they be as incompetent as US billionaires. So they might be our best bet like it or not. Especially if we want to stay competitive with the sportwashing clubs in Europe and even in England.
That's a positive response right there.
Probably not. But there's a massive, massive gap between "not great" and "actively involved in human rights violations".
Feel like they’ve called his bluff and he’s going to end up looking like a bit of a tit.
There's debt on the club as it is. So it won't be a leveraged buyout I guess if it is let to remain.
No, they are still allowed.
There was some talk earlier this year of restricting debt-funded purchases of Premier League clubs but it didn’t seem to go anywhere.

Can cancel out Elon, Russian Oligarchs, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi. So we have Bahrain (?), Dubai remaining of the oil nations . Doubt Ambani and Adani ( Indian Billionaires ) will be interested.
With Sky high interest rates i dont see a hedge fund buying us

6B is too much. But it's a negotiation. They ask for 6b and get 4.8-5b which is fair.
Depends where you look but it seems between 10-25 billion pounds.
I mean, this shouldn't be any surprise. It is either an American investment group or Middle Eastern oil state.
