Like I say if he wants deal wrapped up then needs to find around another £500m to reach £6bnPosturing to try to pressure them to wrap the deal up soon

Sure it does. You have to be next level gullible to think this isn't a Qatari state bid in poor disguise.Your attempted analogy just doesn't work in favour of those spouting off that it's a state bid.
Oh it's definitely a state bid but then why haven't still bid higher than Ratcliffe thenSure it does. You have to be next level gullible to think this isn't a Qatari state bid in poor disguise.
YesHas De Jong signed yet?
So no change is acceptable? You’ll be happy if under Jassim we stay as we’ve been for the past 10 years Post SAF and 23 years before him?I have no idea where you're going with the first part, but Lausanne have always been an up and down club, so no change there
Nice is now worth more than 3x what he paid for, so pretty decent run yeah
Exactly he needs to push up offer even more otherwise individual share price will remain with Ratcliffe so no reason to rejectI can't really see why the Glazers would sell to Jassim, if Ratcliffe's bid is still providing a higher individual share price. Seems common sense to sell to Ratcliffe, if you get more money per share and can continue to take dividends of the shares you don't sell.
Can't see any way the Jassmin bid will be accepted.
Imagine what Ratcliff could have done with RonaldoBoils down to a choice of becoming masters of financial doping with Jassim or masters of actual doping with Ratcliffe and the cyclists.
Ehh it's a game of chicken. Neither side wants to be the one to make the first move and give in.Like I say if he wants deal wrapped up then needs to find around another £500m to reach £6bn
This is an interesting take and tells you a lot about how clubs are valued. Nice infrastructures have been built by the previous owners, the stadium was built before Ineos purchased them and belongs to Nice Agglomeration and they haven't improved on the field nor brought particularly valuable players.Nice is now worth more than 3x what he paid for, so pretty decent run yeah
Ground him down into a chemical solution?Imagine what Ratcliff could have done with Ronaldo
He’d be a bodybuilder with an even smaller dick and even more fecked up emotional reactions to things…Imagine what Ratcliff could have done with Ronaldo
When and why did he get banned from this thread?A damning report on INEOS' running of Nice. I'm so glad @Plant0x84 isn't here to read this.
Well if that's the metric we need to focus on, glazers are up by about 20x. Let's hope they stay on? They also have a fair number of trophies to show as well..Nice is now worth more than 3x what he paid for, so pretty decent run yeah
I'm not surprised, an owner wants more than 5 billion, for a business that is a billion pounds in debt and needs another billion in investment in refurbishing the infrastructure.Is anyone surprised there are not more parties interested? I think the Glazers must have thought there’d be at least 4 or so buyers. I also thought there’d be much more… at the initial stage then many dropping out with 3-4 remaining near the end.
Surprised there’s no consortiums. Thought there’d also be one multi billionaire from the USA or SE Asia
United are now worth nearly 7x what Malcom paid for us. The Glazers must be some of the best owners around by that metric. Wonder why you and others want rid then?I have no idea where you're going with the first part, but Lausanne have always been an up and down club, so no change there
Nice is now worth more than 3x what he paid for, so pretty decent run yeah
At this point he will say anything to justify Ineos as the better option.Well if that's the metric we need to focus on, glazers are up by about 20x. Let's hope they stay on? They also have a fair number of trophies to show as well..
Ratcliffe doesn't need to give in because his offer is still higher,Jassim has to decide if he's willing to match that figureEhh it's a game of chicken. Neither side wants to be the one to make the first move and give in.
Probably because even as it stands their bid grossly overvalues the club and at some point both bidders need to make clear to the Glazers that they are not going to be able to squeeze any more cash out of them with their naked greed.Oh it's definitely a state bid but then why haven't still bid higher than Ratcliffe then
Were Nice a top club before he bought them? Did he promise to take on PSG?Well if that's the metric we need to focus on, glazers are up by about 20x. Let's hope they stay on? They also have a fair number of trophies to show as well..
He promised them regular CL footballWere Nice a top club before he bought them? Did he promise to take on PSG?
Oh yeah they are definitely ripping both offProbably because even as it stands their bid grossly overvalues the club and at some point both bidders need to make clear to the Glazers that they are not going to be able to squeeze any more cash out of them with their naked greed.
Haven't they? Amazing that you know what has and hasn't been bid by anyone.Oh it's definitely a state bid but then why haven't still bid higher than Ratcliffe then
How?Ironically the Ratcliff bid is the exact kind of scummy underhanded billionare's business transaction that got the Glazers ownership of United in the first place.
When so many sources keep reporting it's higher I tend to think there is some truth in thatHaven't they? Amazing that you know what has and hasn't been bid by anyone.
This.I'm not surprised, an owner wants more than 5 billion, for a business that is a billion pounds in debt and needs another billion in investment in refurbishing the infrastructure.
It's going to be nearly impossible to turn any kind of profit on the investment, so why would people invest?
Financed by borrowing.How?
Yeah if you can't offer a deal without them staying then you should kindly leave this processIronically the Ratcliff bid is the exact kind of scummy underhanded billionare's business transaction that got the Glazers ownership of United in the first place.
Yeah we have been contained by our ownership for the last 18 years,so desperately need those chains taking offThis.
The Glazers’ behaviour in this is absolutely disgusting (even for them) and truly showing up how they really think and operate.
They are coming off as almost delusional in the state that Utd is in and what it’s actually worth.
Like someone trying to flog a Ferrari that they’ve caned the engine out of, covered in debts and window cracks, not had an mot in 20 years and expecting quarter of a mil ‘because it’s a Ferrari’.
They’re fecking mugs and part of me almost wants them to stay on now just to see the fecking reaction it gets coupled with watching them get shoved out of the Top 4 by real club owners and subsequently have to feck off with their tails between their legs, embarrassed as businessmen.
The other part of me just wants Utd to be freed and back to wrestle the PL off City, as it should be doing.
To be fair, the Glazers have said they were open to a partial saleYeah if you can't offer a deal without them staying then you should kindly leave this process
Wish they had never said thatTo be fair, the Glazers have said they were open to a partial sale
It's like trying to negotiate with a fungal infection.To be fair, the Glazers have said they were open to a partial sale
Yes.Were Nice a top club before he bought them? Did he promise to take on PSG?
but its not about taking the chains off, its not like if the Glazers f off tomorrow it will be Rosey. The damage is done, the debt will remain, the fact the clubs stadium needs rebuilding, the training ground revamping. Plus we are still pushing up against FFP regulations because our spending has been insane and despite the insane spending the club still needs more investment and there are still serious questions about the recruitment process.Yeah we have been contained by our ownership for the last 18 years,so desperately need those chains taking off
Totally disagree; you have to live in fantasy world if you believe you know..Sure it does. You have to be next level gullible to think this isn't a Qatari state bid in poor disguise.
Was he drinking? It's not in the initial statement, which sounds far more sensible.Yes.
