Someone basically bet some money that Manchester United share price will be 15$ or more by Dec 16th or something. On the money they bet, they got returns of 1000%. They obviously knew about this Glazers looking to sell announcement.
Because we aren't Nice
Not too much to read into tbh , you should have left it in Spanish
Yeah Kuwait because bigger is better
Yeah your second paragraph totally nails it
You want an explanation on options?
Josh Harris is one of the founders of Apollo. Really sharp investor.
Why, are they abusing human rights on a mass scale?
My criteria is simple:
1. Have a clue on how to run a football club or have a clue on how to hire the people who know how to run a football club
2. No oil state
Is that really that difficult? you would think 1) is easily satisfied for a multi billion investment...

The Singapore Sovereign funds (combined) are bigger. But police state.
What does ICD stand for?
So you’d take a state, just not an oil one?
Yeah always had that impression of him too
I can see the green & gold protesting again in 5 years' time. Too many social warriors trying to virtue signal. They have their arguments so twisted like a pretzel that you land up with a choice between Mohammad, Jesus or Buddha being the only viable potential buyers. (Gandhi is too socialist.)
What other state would like to buy a football club though?

Mohammad had a child bride named Aisha, Jesus absolutely booted off in a temple and Buddha… actually he might be alright.
Like you say, everybody is going to have skeletons in their closet. I just hope we get somebody who isn’t a leech. Ideally there would be no human rights abusers in charge or clubs, but the days of the local businessman owning his local club are long gone - at the top level anyway
If it's all good vibes and the owner have a clue I'm fine with it.
Yeah that's no coincidence whatsoever
Realistically if we get an owner who invests into the club properly, on and off the pitch.
We’ll have a united fan base.
No green and gold protests, full old Trafford every week, good results and an attractive style of football.
Will it matter where the funds come from?
I think for 99% of fans the answer is no

Leeches is my only no-no. You can argue human rights abuse with anyone -- from BLM to the Qataris. From Trump supporting billionaires to sport washing sovereign funds.
The only thing for sure is that we won't have a higher moral ground to beat the oil clubs anymore -- unless Buddha buys up United. But he would probably be ok even if United was a mid-table club under his control. By then, the Brexit crew would be out in full force.
Not so easy. As has been demonstrated numerous times in numerous sports and other situations.
Jesus.
Imagine being a gay player for our club and the owner is the crown prince of this rule:
"All sexual activity outside of heterosexual marriage is illegal in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and carries a penalty of “confinement for a minimum period of one year” "
feck that. We as people should condemn that sort of thing with every power we got.
And it aint ok because we're gonna bid for Mbappe or renew the stadium, that shit aint ok. Period

Haha. Surely he is there for the world cup and for Qatar.
Becks is slowly building up quite a network. From the Middle East to his Central/South American ones from his Miami base.
Investment corporation of Dubai. I remember they were earlier called DIC, which they changed for obvious reasons
Believe they've looked at Liverpool in the past (around 2007).Edit: ignore, I'm wrong

Fair cop I will accept that's me
Pretty sure that was Dubai Investment Capital, a completely different entityInvestment corporation of Dubai. I remember they were earlier called DIC, which they changed for obvious reasons
They're called 'Dubai holding' now and have assets worth $130bn. They're not interested in purchasing a football club according to reports. Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) on the other hand is reportedly interested and have assets worth $305bn.
Reeks of nepotism, it seems. Imagine he put a relative as our DOF instead of the best in the market? CAF will go into meltdown.
Who says it wouldn't come to that?
Some people don't seem to care. All they care about is trophies and new toys. I'd honestly have a hard choice on whether I would continue supporting the club.
Twitter is unbearable with all the children wanting dictators, Musk and investment firms. Glazers selling should feel like a relief, but instead I'm terrified Sir Jim won't sign the dotted line.
Buddha isn't ambitious enough. He's too focused on being happy with what he already has...we'd be talking about being happy with McFred instead of improving the squad.
Liverpool fans must have been disappointed when they pulled out.Investment corporation of Dubai. I remember they were earlier called DIC, which they changed for obvious reasons
Et Tu Bhutan!!
