Club Sale | It’s done!

I have not seen any leak/report saying that the Glazers want to remain as passive investors. All the talk has been about a full sale, or them getting investment in to retain control of the club, so not sure where you are getting this "passive stakeholder" from. Moreover, the moment they convert it into class A shares, as you say, they lose their value and are just the same class of shares as there is on NYSE, so no way is it going for 2x it's current value which the Glazers want. None of those permutations/combinations make sense.
It's going to be a full sale and nothing less than that can save the Glazers in the current situation that they find themselves in with relation to the investment needed in the club.

Hence my dream scenario if they do.
Qatar v Elon Musk. What a time to be alive
Is it on their terminal?

It is behind paywall can you copy the text and post it here ?
Not trying to stir up anything but how would most of the fans here feel about being taken over by Qatar? Would it stop you supporting the club?
Game over
They spent £150m of their own money, earned more than that back with dividends and sales of class A shares, and now will be getting around £5b of that once sorting debt and other equity. They have made a killingBillions of pounds? Yeah, chump change that is
If people had any doubts beforehand. No more doubts needed. Bloomberg don’t f about. Qatar bid incoming.
In terms of off the record stuff, this is the closest we are going to get to a cast iron guarantee of Qatari interest.
Welcome to redcafe. It has been answered in the last 100 pages. Feel free to be part of it.
Solely in terms of the running and investment into the club, far better than the Glazers. Far, far better.
This is big news considering that Bloomberg have rubber-stamped it. If Qatar are getting involved, then the only way they are stopped is if the PL/FA throw a spanner in the works.
They would have definitely done their due diligence wrt UEFA and pretty sure the UK govt would not dare to feck them over with the investments they bring.
I supported United whilst hating the owners for almost 20 years. I can continue to support United whilst not liking some new owners as well.
Let's be honest the PL/Uefa can't stop this considering the other groups they've let in the sport
Read that in the voice of that presenter in Alice in Borderland when someone is about to die at the end of each game
Edit:

Massive news and confirms my suspicions from before.
They have got the go ahead from UEFA.

He’s not ‘covering’ to be fair. He has football conversations, and this is one of them, in an interview. Only these online children place this silly demand on him to ‘say something nobody has said before’ or he’s a con artist.
I’m very curious as to what it would take for this petty ‘Romano is a con artist who makes things up’ thing to stop. He’s very clearly a very highly connected and highly respected journalist, who has passed on an uncountable amount of exclusive information in his time. He’s apparently never allowed to speak on something he didn’t tweet first otherwise he’s ‘looking for a tap in’. It’s incredibly childish, you would think he was some teenager in his bedroom the way people talk about him, not one who has open conversations with leading agents and clubs all the time.
Can anyone post the full article?
Feck
It just says bid by the end of the week, they're hearing.
I meant the PL in terms of the fit and proper stuff can still try to feck United over one last time. Doubt it will stand up to scrutiny though considering they just allowed Newcastle to be owned by Saudi.
Its done. Bow down to our new overlords
No, there is nothing that would stop me supporting United. Not even Elon Musk buying us.
Musk and the Saudis vs Becks and Qatar vs local boy Jim.
transfer rumours is gonna be absolutely insane this summer if Qatar buy us
Mike Keegan knows his shit
When Bloomberg says "they are hearing", it's not from a rumour vine or from a Mile Keegan. They must have got it straight from the horse's mouth to put it on their feed.
Still expect the FA/PL to throw something in, a lot of outside agencies won't be happy with Qatar taking over United.
Not sure on this paragraph in the Bloomberg story. Seem they're saying that Al-Khelaifi can somehow fudge it through cos of his being on the committee.
It’s not he owners but the cheat code they bring. We are looking at the formation of a football super club. A mega power.
I’ve learned to block the owners out years ago, I’ve gone back and forward on this over the years but now it’s come to the crunch Im not gonna walk away from Ten Hag and everything that’s going on now.
If we sign Mbappe, and we should be in for those players with our status and the league were in (feck Glazers) I’ll be excited. It’s when we’re looking for these players every summer and we’re constantly winning leagues that could lessen the drama of it all for me.
Although, the banter revenge tour we’d be on would be fantastic
Told you. Mike Keegan goated.
Raine clearly briefing him. Are they making up the Saudi/Musk interest to drive the price up or is it genuine? Musk seems the type to deny it if it’s bollocks so be a weird briefing if not true.
They're good but they do some speculative single source stories too. I've got a couple of friends who work there.
Anyone else got PTSD from the line "preparing a bid" or "bid is imminent"
I’d prefer him any-day over state ownership.
