BBC say two improved bids have been made by qatar guy and ratcliffe. Ratcliffe wants 69% 9f the club i.e. glazers shares and qatar chap wants 100% of the club.

Why would ratcliffe not want 100% of the club?

Holding back the bids
Checking that the fax machine's plugged in

What the Glazers feared
No one wants to pay 6 billion

Strangled by years of Glazer
Hoping for the arms of Qatar

They'll keep holding on
They'll keep holding on

He just wants a controlling stake, owning 100% of the club is unnecessary.

Journos having their credibility questioned now? Maybe being fed duff info to see who is “leaking” internal info?

I think its basically there are 2 bids looking to buy, the rest are putting down proposals in the hope the Glazers desperately want to stay and will take a low offer, but for some say in the running of it. Which of course, they'd never do because this is all about money. There's no way there are 8 major bidders.
Only 2 biders have seen the books, ratcliffe and qatar guy. The other alledged other 6 havent, so i dont think there are 6 other bidders.

Always been a bit weird that dreadful sources like Keegan have been leading on this takeover. A few got exposed tonight.

Kevah and sky exposed everyone... including Kevah and sky who repeatedly reported that bids were in

I don’t understand we know nothing of the other supposedly bids. Could one of the other supposedly six bids be Avram and Joel themself trying to get all the shares of their siblings with some investors? That would be a horror show!

My suspicion is that both the Nine Two and INEOS bids have gone in. However, despite claims that up to eight bids are expected, nobody else is in the race and the Glazers want to keep the door open for someone else to jump in at the last moment.

It feels like neither Sheikh Jassim or Sir Jim are offering the crazy cash the Glazers want. So it's plausible that the Glazers don't want to close the door on other bids, just in case.

I am sure Kaveh's been sold that line by a few people. However, I struggle to swallow it. If there are so many bidders why did only two delegations turn up at United for the in depth talks?

I am sorry, this feels (once again) like the Glazers refusing to give up on the idea that someone else might outbid Nine Two or INEOS. They are clearly the only two in the race and, based on reports, it doesn't feel like either is interested in making this an auction.
