And people still want Sir Jim. Blimey.

Yep. Imagine only walking away with £4billion, not including the 100s of millions taken out of the club, all without a single penny invested. My heart bleeds for them
Worse case for the club and maybe the fans at this point is the promise of more borrowed money being involved with the club
Good enough for me. Get it done.
Incoming "but not all debt is bad". Nah, I'm good, thanks.
I just can't fathom a scenario where leveraged funds being used to buy United won't somehow become United's problem at some point
Yeah 100% they are playing their own game. £200m a season is insane money but for UAE nothing at all. We spend pocket money compared to what they could actually bring with no rules.
Countires like Qatar and UAE are that rich they could buy a 5 billion club every season and I doubt it would move the books their side. They have more money than sense.
They're going to register United as a team playing in Luxembourg or the Bahamas leagues over the summer then compete the sale.
If they’ve both bid 5bn opening offers and it’s Saudis versus Qatar…the final figure could be crazy.
Exactly, and although the trial is funny and we're certain City will lose, we should be worried and prepared for a scenario where they win and the whole league gets bought up by them for decades.
It's extra extra ordinary, juice like a strawberry, money to burn baby. All of the time.
Tell the 147 that were executed last year that.
The tweet from Sky Kaveh suggests Saudi Arabia have the money. More likely they didn't think Chelsea was worth the money.
United's stock just went mental.
Up from $24 to $27

And what about debt? He for sure will not clean that debt. So you will have old debt and one more debt over that debt.
No matter what happens, I will still hope the day comes that the Glazers are brought down.
Because in time there’d be a hollowness to it all.
Mbappe on the left and Rashford through the middle and interchanging throughout the game?
Company registered in the Cayman Islands so I doubt it unfortunately
As I said to anyone who would listen, we were always going for mental money and ending up with someone filthy rich. We are one of the jewels in the football crown, the big spenders have wanted us all along.
Mbappe off the bench last 10 mins
I said this before also, they're not going to pay off the debt, not all of it anyway, they're going to let United keep paying it off and then take money out the back door to service their debt also. Double feckery, I guarantee it.
Do you want Bruno to get 100 assists per season? Because that’s how you get Bruno 100 assists per season
Nah. Mbappe on the right, Rashy left and Kane in the middle is how it will be.
It would be great if right after the sale all American assets got frozen
they really are cnuts, cant stomach the sight of them
To what? We haven't even won anything yet and people are already bemoaning that we might win everything all the time. How about we take it one day at a time and see what happens? If we spend within our means, like we're only allowed to anyway then it won't matter if we're owned by Qatari's or one of us on the Caf, thing is, they'll be no debt with Qatari's.
Not unless we start fudging thr books like city did. We've spent the last ten years with an albatross around our necks, they've drained money from the club, they've made terrible managerial appointments (until ten hag) and we had Ed Woodward as ceo. Even with the Glazers bleeding us dry we've spent almost as much as city, they might inject a bit of their own cash, but we generate enough that they won't really need to
For a second?
Will there be any stipulations like keeping United on their current managerial trajectory?
Or will it be take the money and run?
For all we know, the Qataris might jettison Ten Hag and get Zidane in and spend billions making a mess of the current upward trajectory.
Who knows?
What I DO know is that Ten Hag is doing something incredibly right and he should be part of any sale

I was taking into consideration all the road blocks and anti united conspiracies.
It's a figure of speech
How about we win it all first and then start feeling hollow, yes?
For me its the opposite. This season has been genuinely exciting and promising after a long period of doom and gloom. However if we are bought by some despotic state that will certainly take away most of the excitement. History would anyway give all the credit of any future success in the coming years to the dirty money.
People keep saying this but there's zero evidence for it to be true. If anything, they won't want to rock the boat, their aim is to win favour, not piss everyone off

Have the other oil clubs done this, psg have been a bit reckless but at the same time they've dominated their league and started reaching CL finals. Newcastle and City seem very well run. They'd have no reason to get rid of ten hag, and I don't think they will
I really don’t understand why people are getting so nervous about Ten Hag? There’s been NO whispers or anything out him being kicked out, except one random opinion piece. Any competent owner will realise that he is THE man for us.
They aren’t stupid and I’m sure they will avoid self-sabotage.
The summer window could be fun then, we might actually get some decent players in for once
