Club Sale | It’s done!

[stw2022]

They cannot not sell now. They'd lose so much credibility in every business dealing they had going forward if they pulled a "Well, actually..." now. Whole thing was a negotiation tactic: make the bids big or we might not even sell.


They're selling. If they're not they've prolapsed the rectum of their credibility in the business and financial world for literally no reason.

The BBC (as well as the usual customers) have been briefed about bids going in. What are Sky talking about?

That's it. It's over. Deadline missed. Close thread.

Sky Sports News are so amateurish they probably asked Doris the tea lady

So if we get bought out tonight do the new owners start straight away like? So they can start planning for the new season…

Like buying a house. Flowers in the hall when you turn the keys to Old Trafford.

Everyone was briefed including sky. Now sky are backtracking. Why would both simultaneously ask for an extension?

Looks like Jassim has asked for an extension which Raine have accommodated and SJR hasn't put a bid in officially yet

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Bids have been sent by pigeon mail it seems, will reach NY in a couple of weeks.

Qatar can probably put pressure on INEOS given their Qatari operations.

Maybe another secret bidder has blown their bids out of the water.

Sky are really a terrible source. For all their resource and a dedicated Sports news service they really are terrible

SJR prefers to bid after deadlines so might have happened again.

 

[cyberman]

So every fecking journo was bluffing?
Name and shame them all

 

[horsechoker]

Looks like our man was too busy laughing to remember to submit the bid

it’s all going to be revealed as the most elaborate April Fools in history. “Sheikh Jassim” is an actor called Keith from Ormskirk.

 

[Dobba]

The drama Mick, I just love it.

 

[dwd]

Either of them would be the perfect fit, I’m convinced now

 

[Plant0x84]

What on earth?!

Fax machine is on the Fritz again….

 

[Nou_Camp99]

Absolutely farcical. So many people reporting on this and a lot of it seems to be just made up nonsense.

 

[Spoony]

Why an extension? Why hasn't SJR put a bid in? It's all a tad bizarre.

So Glazers will continue as all participants have been disqualified for missing deadlines.

It is that fax machine again

 

[Castia]

Everyone from Romano to the BBC reporting bids went in now suddenly sky reporting they haven’t?

That Javeh guy was on before saying it went in also…now he’s saying it didn’t farce

 

[TheReligion]

All bids are off.

Deal collapsed

It was the Scousers all along

That is the last thing I expected them to say after claiming world record bids were already in.

 

[Evans999]

Qatar learnt that Radcliffe wasn't putting a bid in so are lowering their offer.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

All bids are off.

Deal collapsed

If that genuinely was the case, we would be the biggest laughing stock on the planet.
